I'm making a Nazi zombie game and in it I need infinite characters to respwan after they are dead to the place they started. How do I do this. and I have tried one way. I set spawn to 9999, I then set spawn after delay: yes, then time 300. But when testing game I get an error when downloading all those entity instances. Around 900 it stops and says extra debug info 0.0

Is there another way to spawn zombies or a way to fix this problem?

For your spawning, you will want to tell FPSC how many of the entities should be spawned at a time. If you don't it's likely going to spawn way too many and cause problems. You can dot his through the entity's options (same place you set the other properties for spawning).

Hope that helps.

speaking of infinite spawning, I have noticed a bug where when one has characters infinity spawn, they end up as shadows and hovering guns. its very strange. Has anyone else seen this or better yet knows how to fix this?

I think it might have something to with the ragdoll death script.
