total freeze

[zzc]

either its massive lag or some other error that makes the game freeze up

which part is causing the lag/leak? i can see the text so i am sure this trigger is causing the freeze.

Things that leak:

• Camera - Set a spacebar-point for AAAP_NightElves at (Position of Archimonde)

  ^Location handle
  
  

• Unit - Order Archimonde to Attack-Move To (Center of EndArchimondeAtTree01 <gen>)

  ^Location handle
  
  

• Unit - Order Archimonde to Attack-Move To (Center of EndArchimondeAtTree01 <gen>)

  ^Location handle

Things that would cause it to lag:

• I dunno

Are you sure that this trigger is the source of the lag and not something else building up...? I presume that it takes a while for a Hero to reach level 900...

 

[zzc]

yes it does take awhile but with the adv constants tweaked it does not. does a high hero max lvl really cause freeze?

why doesnt destroying the trigger clear leak?

why doesnt destroying the trigger clear leak?

Destroying a trigger just prevents it from ever running again. Ever. I'm not sure what else it does, but I do know that it definitely does not clear other leaks for you (location, unit group, player force, etc).

I'm guessing that there are a ton of other things that leak in your map that can cause it to start lagging, and then evidently crash. Especially in a long game where Heroes can reach level 900. However, I don't want to jump to the conclusion that that is the sole reason of the lag you speak of, so hopefully someone more experienced can give more input on the functions used in your trigger.

the map is too big to upload.... any other way?

 

[KILLCIDE]

I wasn't asking you to upload your map.

too much is not good

oh I see.

anyway after cutting down the max to 100 no more freezing.

I guess the issue is the high hero max lvl costing too much xp to input - its in the millions i think.

 

[KILLCIDE]

"too much is not good" xD hahaha

Anyway, the solution you came up with makes sense. However, I would still like some confirmation from others if that really does cause lag issues *cough* DSG *cough*.

Why would you destroy triggers, it won't help you in any way.
