Damage Detection System

[edo494]

Sorry I should have said that.
(Mythic might remember those stress tests.)
I have ran some stress tests with a complete empty Damage Detection System where there are 2 units that attack each other and a third that gains a number of "this unit takes damage" events every second.
So after a while it has 70k events. Then it runs slow.

Of course that is only the events.
Then you also have to think about the other stuff that is in your map.
So with numbers and stress tests like these you can find out how long the re-initialize interval may be so it will never run slow.

There is a second performance thing that is when a unit is actualy attacked.
In the map I posted I have 50 - 250 units attacking each other every second.
It also displays how many (maybe that trigger is disabled and you have to enable it)
But I will run stress test on it as soon as it is finished...
I don't assume that my system will have the best performance but I at least want 2k events and 800 unit attacks per second.
If that is met then I can say it is not too cpu consuming to not use it.

not really good stress test, the lag you notice on all systems is because the numbers that you print want to be drawn even tho they are off screen, and so if you want to print quite a few K lines of text, it will start to lag immensly.

Return type declarations are broken anyways in JNGP. Its perfectly valid to write something like:

function foo takes nothing returns nothing array
endfunction

// or

function foo takes nothing returns real integer damagetype
	return 1.0
endfunction

So the parser is quite broken here^^

Lol that is silly, I didnt know that is possible. But it is runnable, because JassHelper only keeps the first one

Yes, when I first found that bug I thought "cool, its possible to return integer array". Until I noticed that just everything after the first return type is omitted by JNGP and you could basically write anything there

btw what is a widget and what does it do?

EDIT: I guess noone wants to anser me that.

But anyway.
I admit that I am a very noob and dont know what some epic stuff actually does or how to optimize my code.
So I asked other people to test my DDS... Sounds lazy isn't it?
I uploaded the new version to this thread.
You can see the code in the thread or download the new version.

Version 1.4b

Actually JassHelper is broken.

You can do something like:

constant function HAI takes nothing returns boolean
    return true
endfunction

//then use it like:
if HAI then
//codes
endif

doesnt compile for me(Cannot convert integer to boolean, because it converts it to 1)

see?

And also, If you do some comparison like :

if someboolean == HAI then
// codes
endif

You will see another magic.

But it will always be true right?
It cannot be false?
If it converts 1 to boolean it will return true... I suppose

 

[edo494]

the conversion happens because JassHelper converts every unknown name into (1).

In Jass, integers are not implicitly convertible into booleans
