  • 17:4417:44, 9 February 2025 diff hist +68 m List of L4D Series Nav Mesh Attributesmy last edit was factually wrong. I tested with the wrong directions (SPAWN_IN_FRONT_OF_SURVIVORS and SPAWN_ANYWHERE instead of SPAWN_SPECIALS_IN_FRONT_OF_SURVIVORS and SPAWN_SPECIALS_ANYWHERE). AI SI won't spawn there if a script forces the wrong version of those directions, but vanilla by default uses the right ones

  • 07:0507:05, 23 January 2025 diff hist +530 m Left 4 Dead 2/Scripting/Director Scriptsclarified some specifics of what SPAWN_NO_PREFERENCE means for PreferredSpecialDirection. I got this information from disassembly of the server_srv binary. I also used a plugin written for debugging spawn direction/location stuff to get plenty of in game confirmation of the described behaviour

ZombieManager::CollectSpawnAreas is called with a zombie class as one of its parameters. It returns a pointer to the address of all valid nav areas available for spawning in the given direction. Not all filtering is done in this function, but that's not important since the list generated from this will never include NO_MOBS nav areas when passed an SI as the class param. Confirmed through personal testing with the help of a plugin
