 You also need your func_zombie_spawn brush entities throughout your map where you want zombies to spawn (see Objective/Survival setup below for details). Try to avoid connecting multiple brushes with large gaps into one entity.
-While func_zombie_spawns CAN support multiple stories of a building, it is recommended to separate your floors. Each zone should be 1-100 units high, 1-2000 units above the ground, and at least 18 units from walls. With displacement surfaces you can set a single func_zombie_spawn above the highest point in the displacement.
