Level Design Trader that's always open?

[avp2501]

is it possible to make a trader volume that is always usable even when it's not trader time?

EDIT: Nevermind got it working now

Any chance you could post HOW you did it?

I would also like to know this. Maybe we can bring back the lockers.

I wanted to use this feature for the endless maps I've been working on.

Before the first wave starts, all the traders are fully usable so I made a zombie spawn (below the level) before the players appear which pauses/stops the counter moving onto the first wave.

This then gives you an eternal wave since players can never kill the last zombie and since it's pre-wave 1 you have a trader that is forever open.

Sadly you lose the trader arrow but at least zombies can still attack you while you are shopping.

Zombie spawn. Do you mean a ZombieVolume or a ScriptedTrigger set to spawn a specimen?

Edit: This is my 700th post!! Yay Gratz to me!

Oh, well i could have told you that......

I thought you activated the trader during the wave period

lol, i made a trader that's always open (no doors and could always walk in and buy stuff) on accident when i was first learning how to even make a trader.
i cant really remember how i did it though...

without waves, you won't get zombies come from ZombieVolume AFAIK. If all zombies are scripted that should work, except players who die and late joiners will never get a chance to spawn.

That's exactly what I was after
