Um. I don't really know what tag it is in, but try looking in the bloc tag for a deathzone in lockout.

Well here goes a mini tut on how to get a deathzone in your map:
1. goto entity.
2.select a map that has one, dune should work well.
3.goto the scnr tag.
4. Once in the refrence editor right click and hit clone chunk.
5. Navagate to the Death Zones reflexive.
6.Click on it (hehe simple step)
7. Then click "Copy To Clip Board"
8. Close the chunk cloner, open your map.
9. Navagate to the scnr tag
10. Do step four.
11. Click on the header chunk it should say "location_names.unic"
12. then click "add to selected reflex/chunk".
13. Hit "add meta to map" and BOOM you have your death zone chunk.
(PS I didn't actually prefrom this but it should work)

So close... but when I said add meta to map, it gave me an error and closed. It says...
"Non-negative number required.
Paramater name: value."
