Pastebin.w3x I am still adding final touches, but this seems to work a little better than before. I realized I should be testing it in a small map with no other triggers and the lag practically disappeared. However, I am fairly sure that if it was used in a 4-8 player map it would lag again. Also, I realized there is a limit to floatin' text. This will be a problem.

The loop is too long now to post in a VM.

Hi Bannar,

I've been trying to work with your floating text mana bar system you made a long time ago. Did you ever get the bugs out of it? It seems like hashtables have mini leaks and create lag over. I tried to re-create it with indexs and arrays, but even though there are no leaks, it still overloads the system. I did make them change color with health/mana amount and made them disappear when the unit wasn't visible to a player, but I'm still stuck with lag. Any advise?

What's the deal with the Banana nick?
What's its origin if you don't mind replying

Eh, he uses a resource called Trigger, now. To be honest, the event thing should just be TriggerRegisterVariableEvent. For the DamageEvent GUI/vJass hybrid I'm developing now, I made this function:


function CreateDamageTrigger takes string variable, real value, code run returns trigger
set tempTrig = CreateTrigger()
call TriggerRegisterVariableEvent(tempTrig, variable, EQUAL, value)
call TriggerAddCondition(tempTrig, Filter(run))
return tempTrig
endfunction


Straightforward, fast, and gives you access to the trigger easily.

I don't know any, but I also never needed one... so there might be some around

Thank you

(Post) can you please clarify this since i can't for the life of me find where all the triggers are

thx

Hm iirc lfh mentioned that the demo does not work properly. I think he posted it.

Thanks, man! We start new Zephyr contest, in case you are interested in any kind of participating.
By the way, I like your Vector library and it's API much. Is there any chance you get back to work on it?

Hey, no problem, man. The Judging can't really be collated without the Polling anyway, so you have had until the end of the Poll one way or another. And perhaps even a bit after that; historically Judging can take a while (especially when done right) (though we all appreciate when it doesn't ).

Let me know, and (depending somewhat on the end-result of the Poll) I'll be organizing it all shortly. Ish.

Where have you been man?

Oh wow, that's fast. : ) If you are able to, I appreciate it.

Well, I don't want to declare and host a crappy contest. So I will invite some real qualified users like you to be a judge at Zephyr Contest #12.

So are you interested?

Hello,

Perhaps you are interested to participate in Zephyr Contest #12?
(It's the theme polling thread, link to the contest is available there)

----------
I get your point, but I don't think Bribe's DE is as inferior to lfh' one as you think. You can speak with mods if you wish to.
----------
I don't want to depreciate Bribe's, it was just I noticed you had a post saying Bribe's was the best when it isn't. Does Bribe's system detect all 3 types of damage in wc3? Physical, Magical, Code?

Being the first doesn't make it the best, Nes easily proved that to save/load's. lol =P

I think looking for help's damage detection far surpasses Bribe's. =)

Ok thanks

Sorry i just have some bases in jass

Thank you
I'm not very good so I use location (I know I suks)
but I removed them

just tell me if you are busy

My sign is better that yours

Phew, you will judge the current hero contest huh? Give me perfect scores or I will call you banana for the rest of your life!

No, the wrapping has to be changed. And that incurs a price of 30 euros.

Hey do you wanna be partners on a project I'm working on, I can pm you with some screenshots for some motivating.

Sure, why not. You're good, right? Lol, I'll go ahead & add you to the list. Thanks!

//EDIT// - You don't have any qualms/questions about the Judging process or (importantly) the Criteria that you should be using, right?
