P.P.S Note for a new modder they may not know they will have to build lighting, so at stage 11 remind them to hit the lightning bolt (or show the lightning menu in the 3d view) and export lightning. They can also do this by ticking the 'light' box in the Radiant Launcher

P.P.P.S Ticking compile builds your stuff in Radiant, ticking Link takes your scripts and compiles them, then takes the FF of your compiled map and links it to the launcher, and light builds the lighting for your map. Some of these you don't need to do every time you want to build your map

You don't need a 50k radius pathnode. You just need to place one down with default values. They aid in creating navmesh, and if interested the prefab of barriers and the player_start box both spawn a pathnode by default so if you have those setup you do not need to worry about it.

P.S it is best to go into edit -> options and change the build language to all. Many people forget to localize their map for all languages and it limits the players that can play it as they will get the 'xx_zone missing' errors.

currently learning how to make a map, have my map pretty decent for what it is, however no matter what i do or what videos i watch, i simply cant get my zombies to spawn.

Also u dont need asset pack, I dont use it and it works perfectly. Asset pack for 90G aint worth it and it only makes the texture a bit better.
