spawnzones.lua - Make your setups actually work

[Emral]

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but how do you use this? I placed the blue sizable block where I want my npcs to stay onscreen but nothing happens. Can you give a better example how to use this like how it is used in the editor?

All NPCs in the zone stay spawned for as long as the player is also in the zone. Thus, place the zones in such a way that it encompasses NPCs that are offscreen when the player enters it.

Is there a specific reason that this only checks if an NPC is off to the left or right of the screen and not the top/bottom?

... I was wondering why it didn't work in certain situations....

Fixed, thanks.

Is this still not compatible with 2P? Also, what exactly happens when attempting to use it in 2 player?

If it's still mostly functional I would hate to waste your time asking to make a fix.

So for some reason trying to spawn in an npc that's outside of the section boundary only works in section 0. I wasn't really able to tell what would be causing this by looking at the code, so I'm assuming it's a redigit thing?

NPC's can only spawn in if they're in the same section as the player, and NPC's outside of any section bounds will default to section 0.

Well, guess that makes sense. I didn't know that.
