Problems with a jump trigger

[n00byn4t3r]

I am currently making a escape maker style map but i am having problems with the jumpers.
My trigger is based on this trigger.
The problem is it starts lagging like all hell has broken lose when i place more then 50(just some number i made up, but defiantly below 100) of these units.

This is the trigger that makes the unit "jump".

• Red jumper
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Escaper 0020 <gen>
  • Actions
    • Set Facing_Var = (Facing of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Escaper = (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Add Crow Form to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Remove Crow Form from (Triggering unit)
    • Animation - Change (Triggering unit) flying height to 600.00 at 400.00
    • Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 002 Copy <gen>
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Animation - Change (Triggering unit) flying height to 0.00 at 400.00
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Untitled Trigger 002 Copy <gen>

This trigger adds the event to that trigger:

• test
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Jumperunitgroup = (Units of type Jumper)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Jumperunitgroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Jumper = (Picked unit)
        • Trigger - Add to Red jumper <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 175.00 of (Picked unit))
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup( udg_Jumperunitgroup )

And this trigger creates the jumper and runs the trigger that adds the event:

• Create stuff
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Jumper --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Acolyte 0000 <gen> is selected by (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Jumper for Player 1 (Red) at (Target point of issued order) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Trigger - Run test <gen> (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions

Personally i think that to many events get added to the trigger, but i have no idea on how to bypass/fix this.

Any help is welcome

In your "Red Jumper" Trigger you turn on/turn off the trigger "Untitled Trigger 002 Copy <gen>" <--- whats this?^^

 

[Slaydon]

add these, Your leaking

• Custom Script Code: call RemoveLocation(udg_Variable name)
• Custom Script Code: call RemoveLocation(udg_Facing_Var)

 

[baassee]

use a jump system, preferable paladons in the spell section

In your "Red Jumper" Trigger you turn on/turn off the trigger "Untitled Trigger 002 Copy <gen>" <--- whats this?^^

• Untitled Trigger 002 Copy
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Location[1] = (Position of Escaper)
    • Set Temp_Location[2] = ((Position of Escaper) offset by (Slidingspeed x 2.00) towards Facing_Var degrees)
    • Unit - Move Escaper instantly to Temp_Location[2]
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Location[1])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Location[2])

add these, Your leaking

• Custom Script Code: call RemoveLocation(udg_Variable name)
• Custom Script Code: call RemoveLocation(udg_Facing_Var)

In which trigger do i need to implement these? Sorry but i just can't seem to figure it out.

If you would have looked, then you would have seen that mine is when a unit comes within ... range of a building/unit while his is when a certain unit uses a ability.

I try to build your trigger for myself to see whats your problem - but I got little problem: In the Untiled Trigger you set the offset "(Slidingspeed x 2.00)"

What is "Slidingspeed"? =O (Variable? - what type) (or what?)

Edit: I got the same trigger now and let me check if it is correct - You got the Escaper. It a acrolyt enter the 175 range of Escaper - the escaper jumps up - a jumper is created - and the escaper jumps down - and even if i'm not in the 75 range anymore - jumpers are created =s ---- sry but what sense this have? =O

Slidingspeed is a variable of type Real.

The point is that when you order the acolyte to move somewhere a unit of type jumper is created at that point, and when another unit comes near that unit he jumps.

I attached a example map for you, it works the same as in my map but all the unnecessary stuff has been ripped out

 

[Slaydon]

Dude, its not lagging?

 

[n00byn4t3r]

Dude, its not lagging?

It sure is lagging:

Laggy

While on this map it doesn't lag at all (it will after a few thousand, but that doesn't matter):

Not laggy

I have attached the other map, it is "protected" though.

You stealing stealer you! Give me credit! Nah, I'm fine.
You place more than 50 what? What's the thing that you are placing down?

Oh god, I think escape maker is horrible. A better example of a jumper would be 3ICE's Maze Designer or Maze Designer (by Dashival) or... Critter Slide lol.
So what are you actually trying to do? Just make the unit jump? Or are you adding in other sexy stuff? I have fully customized my jumper in many ways. I might have a solution.

First of all, credit is in the map
Second: If you would have read you would have known the problem, but the problem is that when i place to much jumpers the map starts lagging.
Third: I am not sure about the map name yet, but it is gonna be a "escape maker" style map.

 

[manstie]

What, do you place 50000 jumpers in one place?
Do you perhaps have sliding triggers?
Every little bit counts towards lag that is caused.

 

[n00byn4t3r]

Could you please look at the movies in this post?
Then you would see exactly what problem i have or atleast you could see how i want it

Edit: The model is also not causing the problem, because i have tried models with animations (such as a doodad) and it still lagged just as much.

 

[manstie]

Yeah, no. I don't watch youtube. Mainly my brother being bitchy about the internet while he plays World of Warcraft all day and when I download it makes him lag. Usual stuff.

Well I didn't notice it was only 25 seconds so I'll make an exception.

Jesus! Can I take a look at the triggers that creates the buggers?
(The trigger that when you right-click it creates the jumpers at the spot.)

And this trigger creates the jumper and runs the trigger that adds the event:

    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Jumper --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Acolyte 0000 <gen> is selected by (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Jumper for Player 1 (Red) at (Target point of issued order) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Trigger - Run test <gen> (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions

Thanks for helping!

At least you've learned that I don't use my eyes much.
Okay, you don't need the trigger "test". What that is doing is, for every jumper that is currently in the map, it will add an event, for those who already have one for as well!
Instead of doing "run Test", do:

• Trigger - Add to Red jumper <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 175.00 of (Last created unit))

And for leak fixing, create a point variable (e.g. Point) then do:

• Set Point = Target point of issued order)
• Unit - Create 1 jumper for Player (Red) at (Point) facing default building facing degrees
• Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)

 

[n00byn4t3r]

THANKS!!! Its working now +rep!

And also, credit will be placed in the map for help of both triggers!

 

[Slaydon]

cant believe i didnt see that obvious leak!

 

[manstie]

You should use the Point variable with all of your triggers when creating any unit.
