Blank Missionzone.

[wcho035]

Hi, if I want to have different missionzone, from 0 to 7. If I want the first 6 to be blank or empty, what is the syntax legal way to declare blank missionzone for a type in Region.rul?

For example, if I want missionzone 0 as blank and missionzone 1 to be of use for a type. It can't be done this way,

Code: [Select]

    missionZones:
      -
        - []
      -
        - [148, 148.25, 41, 41.5]
        - [169, 172, -5, -2.5]
        - [174, 174.375, 45, 46.5]
        - [197, 198, -52, -49.25]
        - [208, 210, -4, -1.875]
        - [234, 235.25, -44, -41]
        - [270, 271.5, 53, 55.75]
        - [174, 176.25, 34, 37]

What is the proper Syntax legal way to do it?

The reason I am asking for blank missionzones is for a region “type” to have specific missionzone available like 3 for cities and the other are left blank. When it comes to spawning purposes, the blank mission zone will be ignored.

More question relate to this, is there a better method in declaring a specific missionzone that one needs say for example a missionzone 10? Without having 9 blank missionzone before it? If there is, how could it be done? Within a type in a region. Some examples would be helpful.

Code: [Select]

Or

Code: [Select]

  - -
  - -It is for an empty set. But i am not sure that game will not crash, when try to read such mission zones.
