Bribe's Damage Engine Help

[troylowyee]

Hi guys do you use Bribe's Damage Engine, I've been trying it for awhile and it caused the game to have lag spikes, sometimes some abilities insta-kill people and seems to have some damage recursion going on.
Even after deleting all the triggers related to the Damage Engine except his original code, the lag spikes still occur.

When i used Priest's path of light spell after 3-5 minutes, his ability insta-kills everything even though his spell is not related to the Damage Engine at all.

The lag spikes happen pretty consistently at 2:14, 3:34, 5min

The items beside the tavern are to test for the Damage Engine. Please do have a look at the map and let me know because i've checked through all the triggers and only all the triggers listed in the Damage Engine folder is related to the Damage Engine. Even though i never used anything related to the Damage Engine, the priest's path of light spell still insta-kills. The items that do additional damage seem to go on an endless loop.

Damage Engine 3.8.0.0

Hi Troy,

I haven't responded because the type of investigation this requires needs the entire map drudged through, and I don't have that kind of time these days. My laptop keys are screwed up and my train commute is half the time if used to be. With 2 kids at home there is no time for games.

I can only supply you with some information to empower yourself to do the "grunt work":

1) Open Object Manager
2) Go to the Functions tab
3) Find all instances of "Unit Damage Target"
4) Make sure you disable (This trigger) prior to dealing damage from a damage event, in every case (also make sure you run trigger ClearDamageEvent (Checking conditions) after each instance).
5) Make sure you have really checked step 3 to ensure no rogue damage is dealt to spin your system into a loop.
6) test, and let me know whether it helped or not.

I tried deleting/disabling certain triggers one by one and found out it was the GUI Unit Event System,
after removing that the lag and damage recursion was gone.


Do I have to do this? Is this correct?

Make sure your Unit Event is up to date. The newest version doesn't have that glitch.
