# Waves

RageMode has a built-in system that allows you to use the zombie game mode as a wave-based match. By default once you create a zombie game, a default wave rounds is created for you in `plugins\RageMode\zombie game\zombie-wave.yml` file.

## Features

* Configure first wave delay in seconds
* Configure next wave delay in seconds
* Create as many rounds as you wish per game
* Define what zombies with x amount to spawn

## Configuration

```yml
first-wave-delay: 20
next-wave-delay: 20
games:
  example: # The name of the game
    final-wave: 4
    rounds:
      '1':
        spawn:
        - strong_zombie=RNG(1, 3) + players
        - zombie=5 + players
      '2':
        spawn:
        - zombie=RNG(15, 20)
      '3':
        spawn:
        - zombie=5
        - zombie=20
```

* `first-wave-delay` - The delay seconds of the first wave, `0` to spawn immediately
* `next-wave-delay` - The delay seconds of the next wave, `0` to spawn immediately
* `games.gameName` - The name of the game
  * `final-wave` - Final wave that ends the game
    * If this value is higher than the set number of rounds, the last round will be used
    * If this set to 0, only the first wave configuration have effect
  * `rounds` - Rounds/Wave configuration what and how many zombies to spawn
    * You can create as many rounds as you want
    * Use `zombie` to spawn general zombies, for [special zombies](/ragemode-docs/zombie-game-guide/special-zombies.md) use their specified name
    * You can as well specify how many zombies to spawn in a wave with [math operators](/ragemode-docs/mathematical-operations.md)
    * If no rounds are specified and this section is empty, no zombies will spawn
    * Syntax: `name=value`
      * Variables: `players` - players count in game
