Depends on the computer you are on.
Slow pcs can't handle that much.

Also it depends on the players (which is crazy).
If you give the units to 12 different players, it will not lagg that hard.

The thing is, you can never ever get an unlimited amount of units without lag, unless in the future there are computers that multiply their own storage size/operating speed.

i think it could be removed if you are using a low detailed model and texture. The lower, the smaller memory it takes. If you use a very simple 2D model (or even a picture) it will just get up bytes (smaller probably or low poly count).

If you want more, use a super computer @@

I doubt models and textures make a difference, I think that it is the object data, like collision size, movement speed etc. that does the job.

 

[Anachron]

Nope. I've proven in a test (I did some years ago) that massive units do not lagg when they have no model. (You are free to check thehelper for the test)

yeah more complex models im mass can make some lag (more so for old comps) the real problem is mass moving, doesnt work to well all being on 1 players team but like Anachron said they move with ease if they are on different players teams.

I have a map where i make alot of units (footmen) move all at once from all 12 teams, whats your option on this.
Is it better to pick all those footmen in 1 group and mass move them or to do a loop and pick all those in player and send them in 12 different groups separate. i figured it wouldn't matter either way (havent tested tho) (and removing leaks also of course either way)

Its caused by the displacement algerthim. It trys to find free space for the units to be placed which is costly and even unstable at times.

Spawn them over a time period and throughout a region (not just at the same position).

Also make sure there are no leaks as those will make every call less efficent.

This is the way to deal with problem, but if you create too many unit in same screen you will see 'screen display error'
