Zones

Create protected areas with configurable enforcement rules.

What It Does

Zones let you define geographic areas on the DayZ map with custom rules. When players enter or interact with a zone, the bot can trigger actions like bans, manhunts, or simply log the violation.

Creating Zones

Add a Zone

/zone add <name>

Creates a new zone with the given name and opens an interactive polygon editor. The editor lets you:

  1. Define the polygon — Enter coordinates in x / y format, one per line, to trace the zone boundary on the map
  2. Choose trigger territory — Select whether the rules apply to players inside or outside the polygon
  3. Select triggers — Choose which actions trigger the zone rules (0-3 triggers):
  4. Trespass — Player enters the zone
  5. Kill — Player kills someone in the zone
  6. Trap — Player sets a trap in the zone
  7. Tent — Player places a tent in the zone
  8. Build — Player builds a structure in the zone
  9. Set action — Choose what happens when triggered:
  10. None — No action (informational only)
  11. Manhunt — Start a manhunt against the violating player
  12. Ban — Ban the violating player
  13. Add whitelist — Specify player names who are exempt from zone rules
  14. Set report channel — Choose which Discord channel receives zone violation reports

Edit a Zone

/zone edit <zone>

Opens the polygon editor pre-loaded with the zone's current settings. Use autocomplete to find existing zones.

Delete a Zone

/zone del <zone>

Permanently removes a zone and all its configuration. Use autocomplete to find existing zones.

How Zone Checking Works

Zone checking runs automatically as the bot processes server logs. When new player activity is recorded:

  1. The zone checker reads each zone's polygon and triggers
  2. Player positions from the logs are checked against each zone
  3. If a player violates a zone rule, the configured action is triggered
  4. Violation reports are sent to the configured report channel

Polygon Coordinates

Zone polygons are defined by entering GPS coordinates in the format:

x / y

One coordinate pair per line. For example:

12345 / 67890
12400 / 67950
12350 / 68000
12300 / 67900

The bot generates a visual polygon overlay on the server map image to help you verify your zone shape.
