Question on xpath to disable zombies climbing ladders

[TheFlayer]

I want to disable zombies' ability to climb ladders. I can't figure out why this won't work in game. I don't get any error messages upon loading the game. What am I doing wrong? This is what my config file looks like:

 

<config>

<set xpath="/entityclasses/entityclass[@name='zombieTemplateMale']/property[@name='CanClimbLadders']/@value">false</set>

</config>

 

and it is entityclasses.xml located in 7 Days To Die/Mods/mymodname/Config

 

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

 

Edit: I just went in and changed the value to false in the main xml and zombies still climb ladders, so I'm inclined to believe that it's hard-coded or otherwise bugged in some way, and that for the time being their ability to climb ladders is unchangeable.

Try setattribute instead of set

I used:

<setattribute xpath="/entity_classes/entity_class[@name='zombieTemplateMale']/property[@name='CanClimbLadders']/@value">false</setattribute>

 

results in the error message:

SetAttributeByXpath (/config/setattribute, line 2 at pos 2): Patch element does not have a 'name' attribute

 

So, it's telling me the patch element needs a 'name' attribute? I'm not entirely sure what that means.
