Ingame Delay caused by my map.

[Boar]

Hello yet again, The current map I am working on gains massive amounts of delay when more then 2+ Players are playing, and happens like an Exponential.

And I was wondering if anyone can help sniff out the cause.

(Doesn't even test the map yet)

Did you include "Wait" action in your map ?
That action will cause each player to be sync'd and will cause delay in-between of players
Remove it, and find another solution instead of using Wait

 

[Boar]

I used 'Wait' in only one trigger, that is used roughly 50 times a game. So I'll give it a shot.

 

[defskull]

Yes, use other method please
Wait just ruin multiplayer game, seriously

 

[Boar]

Okay, so in theory Since I am only using ~4 triggers with wait, none of them periodic or rapidally used.

What could the other problem be, if any.

 

[defskull]

Do you clean "leaks" ?

 

[Boar]

Yes, That I do do. I think I have only about 3 leaks the whole map

Implement this script into your map:

function hcact takes nothing returns nothing
    local location l = Location(0,0)
    call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetHandleId(l)-0x100000))
    call RemoveLocation(l)
    set l = null
endfunction

function InitTrig_HC takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent(t,2,true)
    call TriggerAddAction(t,function hcact)
endfunction

Create a trigger called HC, go to Edit -> Convert to Custom Text, and just paste this in there. Run the map and see what numbers it spits out. It isn't that accurate, but that doesn't matter since you only need to find a clear difference.

Just test it for a while and take a screenshot/record what numbers it spits out. It will send a message every 2 seconds. Post the results here and we might be able to figure out what the problem is/rule out some problems.

What is a good number? And what is a bad number? XD

 

[Boar]

Mm, the numbers stabilze around 3~4k. I have been removing some triggers, so I think I might've fixed it.

That is good to know.

If it kept increasing consistently, then that would mean that you were leaking periodically. But since it is stable, it should be fine. As for good or bad numbers, as long as it doesn't increase too much it should be fine. ;D So if the trigger removal fixed it, then that is good. Otherwise, you know it isn't leaks.

Thank you mate <3

What kind of computer do you haven, what processor? Maybe it's the periodic trigger that runs every 0.02 seconds. Try to reduce it to 0.03 seconds and see what happens.
