Neutral/Hostile Limit Exceeded?

[Bloodbane7]

I was searching and I found a post about "Object limit" which I'm guessing is similar to this- When I was placing creeps for my map, suddenly in the lower left corner of my World Editor, it says "Maximum number of neutral units and hostile buildings exceeded!" (513/512) If I put more than the "limit" will it affect my map negatively? Can you exceed it without drawbacks?

Try adding them with triggers, as the fewer units out at one the better (look at TKoK or other good RPGS which spawn on demand or recycle).

You can however use third party tools to ignore the limits without any problems. The only negative side to exceeding the limit is it puts more load on the WC3 engine (not any more than usual but remember that some opperations are O(N) so will increase linearly) and thus your system requirements will sky rocket (at 5000 units you will be lucky to get the map to even load let alone be playable).

Like I said, I advise creating a smart spawn system which only creates the units when they are actually able to be faught so as to keep the number of units on the map at any one time to a minimal.

Ah yes, that would work, I also made player 12 an opponent as well, which gives extra units too. Thanks for the idea. Anymore Anyone?

There are no more options availale to you than using a third party tool to remove the limit (like WE no limits if that still works) or using triggers to create the units during the game (in which case there is no limit).

The step above the second method which is more recommended is to actually make the units only when needed as this will make your map a lot more playable (slower systems will run it with better performance).

Alright, I don't really want to put too much stress on my map, so I'm going to use Unit- Create triggers from this point on, and replace the massive groups with triggers.
