Reducing lag

[Clawdruid]

In my tower defense it starts off ok, but as the game goes on, it starts lagging alot. I know its not the computer. Are there any triggers to reduce the lag? I have it so if a unit dies, wait 2 seconds, remove unit from game. Help?

Yes, removing the unit from the game helps.

• Events
  • Unit Dies
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Wait - 2.00 seconds
  • Unit - Remove (Triggering Unit) from the game // use "triggering unit" not "dying unit"

Also, since you have a tower defense map, you are 100% guaranteed leaking a lot of locations. Create unit, order unit to move to X, they all leak and will cause big lag over time.

Is it possible to stop leaking?

 

[Bribe]

Yeah, but it is annoying as it requires you to change the ENTIRE way you look at the code.

You have to do things like:

• Set loc = Center of Region <gen>
• Unit - Issue Last Created Unit to Move to "loc"
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)

That's one of the infinite things which makes JASS so much better.

IssuePointOrder(bj_lastCreatedUnit, GetRectCenterX(udg_Region), GetRectCenterY(udg_Region))
