Map Initialization Loading

[Miles111]

Does your Map Initialization trigger happen while your map is loading, or right after the game starts? Im asking because my map init trigger is huge and Im worried it might cause lag or disconnecting at the start of the game

It opens when map starts....




When the game starts the trigger starts working, not in the loading screen...

does not matter how big the init is if you split it it still contains all the needed triggers

Object Data that is used within the MapInit trigger will be loaded before the game starts. (Correct me if I'm wrong.. this is the impression I got from my maps)
For instance, you can actually use this to create and remove heroes or abilities with many levels so it won't lag when players select them from a tavern or you add the ability the 1st time.

I'm not sure about other triggers though.

How about you just try it out, you probably need all that stuff anyway don't you? ;-)

Map initialization is done during map loading process at the end of the main thread. That's also the reason why some display actions do not work at map init btw.

Thank you for giving me the right answer and useful information about the display actions
