[Trigger] Room split on map init

[kStiyl]

I've been having a strange issue with my map and haven't been able to fix it

Players playing my map would disconnect when the game starts but the strange thing is, it only happens if it isn't your first game in multiplayer since you joined the battle.net (I've tested it with my friends many times). Due to this problem.. there would be only a few players left when I start the game with like 12 players

Anyone know a solution to this problem (or what the problem may be)?
I'm pretty sure I've used GetLocalPlayer() correctly, I didn't use the bad BJs like smart pan camera.

quest? texttags? i also have a system using GetLocalPlayer on creating texttags since I've heard that it uses a global array and does not cause desync (it's not used in map initialization anyway)
I'm also creating a lot of units / hastable saving in init, so I split the actions up by using a timer

ALIENS! It's a sign! I knew it! I knew it! I-

i also have a system using GetLocalPlayer on creating texttags

Oh... :c
type texttag extends agent

Thus texttags will cause desyncs if created in GetLocalPlayer().
You can however hide the texttags like this:

call SetTextTagVisibility(texttag, GetLocalPlayer() == p)

This shows it for p only.

Might be caused by widgitizer. Even if you did not use it on your map, the map you and your friends or they last played might have.

Deactivate stuff.

First thing to do, try turning off ur systems/triggers one by one to pinpoint which triggers cause errors...

 

[Magtheridon96]

I think I already pointed out the error :/

If the desyncs are still occurring, the problem could involve processing load. It would just disconnect you instead of bothering to sync with the other players due to a very large processing load.

The texttag system does not cause desyncs while playing the game though (and it works correct)

 

[PurgeandFire]

Texttags have their own separate handle stack. They shouldn't desync as far as I know, even when created locally.

However, I recommend that you look at all your init triggers and that you post them here so we can check if it is local-player-safe.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Well, I guess you do learn something new everyday.

Ok, the only way we're going to solve this is if you post all the code that you're using to initialize the map.

 

[Troll-Brain]

Creating texttags locally is the way to go, mostly because of the hardcoded limit : 100 texttags at a time.
Now, it would be safer to define the string outside the local block, to avoid any possible desync with the internal string table.
Even if i think it does not matter, especially because the typecast string <-> integer string pointer is not allowed anymore, and anyway if it would desycn, local strings (depends wc3 languages) wouldn't work ...

Upload your map, or just the map script.

Thanks for comments, here is my Init (other than spell struct initializers using SpellEffectEvent from Bribe)

I've tested to see if it was because of widgetized maps or not by making random maps with triggers; I found out that playing my map after playing any other map causes desync (host never gets disconnected though)

           local integer   i   = 16
            local player    p   = Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_PASSIVE)
            local trigger   trg = CreateTrigger()
            
            set udg_Field = GetWorldBounds()
            
            call TriggerAddCondition(trg, Condition(function OnLeave))
            call TimerStart(NewTimer(), .1, false, function LoadStuff)
            
            loop
                set i = i - 1
                
                set P[i] = Player(i)
                call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(P[i],0,0,5,"Please select a character.")
                
                exitwhen (i == 0)
            endloop
            
            set i = 8
            
            loop
                set i = i - 1
                
                if (GetPlayerSlotState(P[i]) == PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING and GetPlayerController(P[i]) == MAP_CONTROL_USER) then
                    set Playing[i] = true
                    call TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(trg, P[i], EVENT_PLAYER_LEAVE)
                endif
                
                exitwhen (i == 0)
            endloop
            
            set UnitIndexer.enabled = false
            call CreateUnit() // 8 times
            set UnitIndexer.enabled = true
            set p = null
            
            call XE_PreloadAbility() // About 80 times.

Try commenting out the TimerStart line
And set udg_Field to GetWorldBounds()
