SpawnLocation = ents.FindByName("ZombieSpawn")
Zombie = {}

function SpawnZombie()
	for I = 1, #SpawnLocation, 1 do
		Zombie[I] = ents.Create("npc_zombie")
		Zombie[I]:SetPos(SpawnLocation[I]:GetPos())
		Zombie[I]:Spawn()
	end
end

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
	if ply:IsAdmin() or ply:IsSuperAdmin() then
		ply:SetTeam(1)
	else
		ply:SetTeam(2)
	end
	SpawnZombie()
end

The "SpawnZombie()" function won't even start, could someone help me on this?

do a print just before the SpawnZombie() call, does it print?
Do a print just before the loop inside the SpawnZombie function, does it print?

Well it doesn't work, when i printed out how many zombie spawns there where, it said there where 0 zombie spawns, when indeed in fact there was 2. It could be that it doesn't have enough time to load, where would a good place to put this piece of code?

You want to detect the zombie spawns in InitPostEntity.

[LUA]local ZombieSpawnLocations -- It's important to declare it out of the function's scope so we can access it everywhere in the file.

function GM:InitPostEntity()
ZombieSpawnLocations = ents.FindByName("ZombieSpawn")
end

local Zombies = {} -- Always use local in front of variables and functions that are not meant to be available outside of that file.

local function SpawnZombies()
for i = 1, #ZombieSpawnLocations, 1 do -- lowercase i is the convention.
Zombie[i] = ents.Create("npc_zombie")
Zombie[i]:SetPos(ZombieSpawnLocations[i]:GetPos())
Zombie[i]:SetAngles(ZombieSpawnLocations[i]:GetAngles()) -- You can have your zombies facing the same direction as the spawn.
Zombie[i]:Spawn()
end
end

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
if ply:IsAdmin() or ply:IsSuperAdmin() then
ply:SetTeam(1)
else
ply:SetTeam(2)
end
SpawnZombies() -- Are you sure you want to spawn zombies every time a player joins? This might belong in InitPostEntity or in a zombie spawning module.
