Lag with unit spawning

[mecatronic]

Hello there.

I'm using a trigger to spawn the initial units on my map instead of placing them with the Unit tool on WE, to reduce the loading time.

Ok, that worked so far, but the problem is that there are like 30 units or so, and when I place them, the game freezes a few seconds. Is there a way to avoid that?

Thanks.

try doing them 5 at a time instead of all at once, maybe a 1 sec wait between each group

well, it helped a little, but now I have (little lag [1 sec] little lag [1 sec] little lag..) and so on.

another tip?

I'm using the createNunitsatloc, but I will change it to createunitatloc when it's done, will this solve/help the problem?

it might, the lag is caused by the game doing multiple things at one time,
the less the game has to do at one time = the less it will lag

edit: puting it all in 1 trigger might add to lag also, so you could try doing sepperate triggers (but keep the time difference)

put one of that units on map and remove it with a trigger in game start
that will load him before creation so it wont lag

 

[mecatronic]

wouldn't that be te opposite of what I want?

I want to place the units via trigger, so the game takes less time to load.

If you preplace them it will load more
If you place them via trigger it will lag.

Life is bad

is there any other way to make the map load faster?

 

[Rui]

Map Optimizers are a good way of taking the map to load faster.

LoL Im idiot
Just use
Wait 0.0 (this will make units load after game start so it wont increase your loading time)
Game - Preload <choose units model>
in an Map Initialization event

 

[mecatronic]

I already use Map Optimizer, was just expecting another way that could work with it to reduce map loading time.

If I use a wait 0.0, wouldn't it do the same thing as my second post here on this thread?

try adding anti leak trigger on point locations, i had a spell that creates 300units in a 0.00 second and it doesnt lag.

 

[mecatronic]

you probably used the same units over and over, didn't you?

I'm using 30 different units here.

 

[Need_O2]

wait 0.0 will make it after start map not while loading
put wait0.0 to every initialization events for reducing loading time
(or use a tool)
