Danger Zone
Danger Zone (internally: survival) is a fast-paced battle royale game mode built on Template:Game name's tactical gameplay where players use their wits, skill, and resources to fight to the finish. Featuring solo or team play.
To launch a map in the Danger Zone game mode, invoke the commands game_type 6; game_mode 0; map <mapname> or shorter: map <mapname> survival. See CS:GO Game Mode Commands.
Note:Maps must be designed for this game mode (see below). If they are not, one should reckon with game crashes.Note:Valve has released no documentation about this game mode and everything is researched by players.Map Requirements
- The bsp needs the dz_ map prefix.
- See dedicated page of this entity for more information.
Warning:This brush needs to be at least 13440x13440 units big, if not the game will crash upon deploying. Recommended size is 16384x16384.- Warning:The recommended footprint[Clarify] of a Danger Zone map is 20480x20480 units, combined with a trigger_survival_playarea sized 16384x16384.
- The footprint of the map must be made of a solid texture (nodraw or skybox will not work).
- Using other sizes for the map footprint or the trigger_survival_playarea may cause the deployment menu and the tablet radar to become misaligned.}}
- These should be scattered around the map, there needs to be some distance between these otherwise they might fail to spawn.
- Warning:Not having enough of these can result in game crash upon deploying. Numbers that are verified to work are 41 and 321.
- A single point_dz_weaponspawn is enough to prevent the game from crashing upon deployment. It is however common that no item will spawn from this point_dz_weaponspawn. This method may be useful for playtesting the map early on in development, before loot locations are decided upon.
