if an event has enough zombies in it to go over the area's max allowed zombie count (500 i think) it will despawn all other zombies in the area. The game will then add all the despawned zombies to the event group, causing the event horde to spiral out of control as it respawns all the areas zombies inside the event group when zombies killed bring the count under 500. this can turn a 200 zombie horde event into a 2,000 zombie horde event.

also worth noting that the event proc range doesnt stack on the zombie pawn event radius. if the spawn circle is 20 wide and the proc range is also 20, they will spawn in front of your face.

If possible, it would nice to have a horde manager proc mode that can be enabled/disabled when setting events to avoid accidentally activating them while setting them.

Great mod, fun using with server events

Hey, as the commissioner of this mod, I have not experienced this issue yet on our dedicated server. The way I have been spawning the zombies is doing 50 - 250 at a time with short cooldowns between multiple loops.

I'll work with Braven on a dedicated test server we have for testing mods and see if we can recreate and get the logs for it.

Thanks for highlighting!

I can confirm this happens.

Had at least 100+ horde events spread out in cell, of 50 - 100 each event. Made sure they where at a good distance from each other. I would trigger around 5 - 8 of them which caused at least one to bug out and continue respawning the zombies on that same event spot over and over again until it removes all or half the horde events placed in the same cell.

Multiplayer server log. Not sure on how to reproduce.

Had to remove this mod on my MP server "Cooterville"

Set a number of small spawn triggers in the winchester map hospital building 15 zeds 1 tile radius 4 tiles trigger radius.
None of these trigger zones overlapped.
Was a second floor zone.
With a lot of zeds already on the map I can stand on the small trigger spot and it would let out and endless flow of zeds non stop.
Mod List, copy paste not sure what you might conflict with.
