[General] Possible limit of working waygets to single map issue...

[Retria]

First really short explanation of my side project:

you start on isle and pick of 27 heroes....
on that isle are two wayges which leads to two island and each island has two waygets which leads...

Soo I have total 140 isles in my map and 285 waygates...
note: you can not go back in my map just forward

Problem:some wayges stopped working (units just stand on waygate and dont teleport) I can fix them with chaging owner (from neutral passive to hostile or from hostile to passive) it fixes certain gate but then other gate which was not bugged is bugged...

It is still playable becouse there is multiple ways to reach end... but its my first map which people actually like and want rmk, and it makes me really sad that some waygates do not work

Any help will be appreciated.

Edit: I go post map when I get from work out of time.D

Well, I don't know if there is a limit to active waygates, but if the limit is there, then you could try a workaround. Simply create a region over each island. Then through triggers detect when unit enters one of those regions. If there is only 1 unit in that region, turn on all waygates on that island.
Make another trigger that detects when unit leaves a region. When this trigger fires, check if there are any other units inside that region. If no unit is present, deactivate waygate on that region. You will probably need to also include a death check, etc. so no death units are picked when checking the numbers.

i could look at it for you if you post the map.

My gut tells me that the limit for waygates is probably around 255.

... and tbh, that's a larger amount than any sane man should ever need...


You should really consider redesigning your map if you need that many waygates.

Other than that; I'd say go with Nichilus suggestion: deactivate waygates temporary depending on where the players are. Split the map into 4 quadrants and if someone enters one of the quadrants, enable all waygates there. Unless players are in all 4 quadrants, you should always have plenty disabled.


Btw, for a maze type of map, using waygates is not a good idea as the AI pathfinding considers them as regular methods of crossing maps. In other words: players can cheat by clicking the goal, then the unit will automaticly find the right way through the gates.

Not at all! Damn I was planing map in future "The Cube" similar to movie Cube... and I was couting 500-1000 waygates...

Last question could I fix bugged Way gates with region in the middle of them and when unit enters region.. instantly move triggering unit to desired region?
And would it leak ?

PS: I uploaded map for andreasaspenberg, you all can try fix it, just do not play it too much, I want people play fully working version

Edit: I just realized could not this bugg gates somewhat?

i have tested it twice and when i used a single hero only i encountered no problems. a possible solution would therefore be to change the collision size of the units you use in your army to 0. that should enable all of them to use the waygates without problems.
