[Trigger] Smooth spawning

[NightSkyAurora]

Greeting everyone

I have more or less 30 tipes of animals in my map but I have trouble spawning them without a lag.

        • Set bNaturalSwitch = True

As you can see, I used a switch to separate the the preditors from the herbifores and also reduces lag in this process. I've also preloded the models in the ini. The lag is extremely small on my computer but is visible if you know it's there. However it might be a problem on computers with less preformance than mine.

Help will be appreciated.

You are leaking 2 groups in this (Number of units in (Units of type uNatural[Temp_Int]))
One that you can get rid of and one that you can't.

 

[NightSkyAurora]

So would it be better if I put them in a group, count the units in group and then destroy it?

 

[IcemanBo]

You can create a unitgroup from default of all neutral unit, and always add/remove from this group.
Or yes, you could also create alway a temporary Unitgroup and destroy it afterwerds.

Also once the condition "(Number of units in (Units of type uNatural[Temp_Int])) Less than 11" doesnt match --> you can set Temp_Int = LoopLimit +1, so it doesnt do more check in this loop.

 

[NightSkyAurora]

Ok shot! and what do you mean with you condition suggestion? I understand that "if units < 11 then Temp_Int = 12" but what then?

 

[IcemanBo]

I guess that was bullshit, haven't read exactly.. sorry ;p

 

[deathismyfriend]

It is best to only create one group then add and remove units manually. Also use an integer variable to keep count as it is better.
If you only need the integer counter use that and get rid of the unit group.

 

[NightSkyAurora]

Lol ok so ecept for the group leak, is it on it's very simplest?

EDIT: sorry friend I didn't see you reply before posting :/ Anyways do I use the Integer counter to count the unit types without groups? "do you meant if matching unit type equals to uNatural[x] then Temp_Int = Temp_Int + 1"?

 

[deathismyfriend]

read my above post.

 

[NightSkyAurora]

I've red it thanks but I don't understand clearly. I'm not has smart has you guys lol. Can you please explain?

 

[deathismyfriend]

Create integer variables. Call them spawnCount1 and so on.

Replace the number of units of unit type whatever and replace with the correct spawn counter variable.

Then whenever you create a new unit increase the integer. When one of those dies decrease it.

Ok I see now thanks friend
+rep

EDIT: Ah I'm out of rep sorry :/ maby later

EDIT: done
