About "evil" dumy :)

[ultimate11]

So probably is stupid question but i have doubt.
I have a dummy with locust ability no moddel bla bla.
So I had made a loop for test
A -> 200 create a dummy add 0.5 s expiration time.
After one seconds its seem that dummy dont dissapear from game cousing lagg.
Can this be the problem?
BTW: temp point its carefully cleared.

Set death type to can't raise, doesn't decay. Also set death time close to 0.

I will try :x

And one more question man
If a unit have colision turned off or have ghost ability, and I create 10 units at a specific point in the same point the unit colision wont interference causing problems?

EDIT: SRY FOR DOUBLE POST (

Wow my god its work
After so many die seeking into 200 trigger and over 60 custom skill I had finally found the problem of my lagg.
Dude I trully thank you from my heart

Also do remember that creating a unit leaks (game bug). Consider recycling dummy units when possible.

 

[ultimate11]

What do you mean reclycling ?

 

[Dr Super Good]

A system similar to what people use for timers and groups. Instead of destroying the dummy when not needed you add them to a stack and move them somewhere out of map bounds (turn collision off). Next time you want a dummy instead of creating a new one you remove one from the stack and turn collision on. This help reduce the number of units created and so reduces the amount leaked.

acctuakky hide unit until u need a dummy unit again, when need dummy unit just show dommy unit and set his position and do what u want with him

for keep tracking the dummy units have 2 way:

(in both way u need declare a max amount if u dont want store a billion unit so lets say MaxDummyUnit integer variable = 200 then we dont store more than 200 unit)

1. unit group:
-need 1 unit group variable

when u dont need anymore dummy unit, hide dummy unit and add to a unit group
-when u need dummy unit check if this unit group is empty (then create a dummy unit) else if isnt empty then pick 1 unit from group, show unit, remove from group and do action with him

so wen dont need the unit anymore then

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Number of units in DummyUnitGroup) Less than MaxDummyUnit
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Hide (Triggering unit)
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to DummyUnitGroup
  • Else - Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

when need then

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Number of units in DummyUnitGroup) Greater than 0
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in DummyUnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set unit = (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Unhide ( unit)
        • Unit Group - Remove unit from DummyUnitGroup
        • Skip remaining actions
  • Else - Actions
    • -------- create unit --------

2. linked list
-need 1 integer variable (non array), 1 unit variable array

when u dont need a unit then u can do this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Dummy_Index Greater than 0
  • Then - Actions
    • Set unit = Dummy_Unit[1]
    • Set Dummy_Unit[1] = Dummy_Unit[Dummy_Index]
    • Set Dummy_Index = (Dummy_Index - 1)
    • Unit - Hide (Triggering unit)
  • Else - Actions
    • -------- create your dummy unit --------
  • Else - Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Dummy_Index Greater than 0
  • Then - Actions
    • Set unit = Dummy_Unit[1]
    • Set Dummy_Unit[1] = Dummy_Unit[Dummy_Index]
    • Set Dummy_Index = (Dummy_Index - 1)
    • Unit - Unhide ( unit)
  • Else - Actions
    • -------- create your dummy unit --------

2nd example is faster so use something like that, the reason is somewhere i readed the createunit action/function is the most slowist action, so faster just hide a unit then when needed then call him
