Trigger (lag)

[Freeze87]

hi guys, this is trigger that i use in my map. I want to know what in this trigger couse so much lag and how to fix this:

• Pick Cat
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells a unit
  • Conditions
    • ((Sold unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Random unit from (Units owned by (Owner of (Sold unit)) of type Pick Cat)) from the game
    • Unit - Remove (Sold unit) from the game
    • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) for (Owner of (Sold unit)) at (Random point in Center <gen>) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Last created unit)) to (Position of (Last created unit)) over 0.00 seconds
    • Selection - Select (Last created unit) for (Owner of (Last created unit))
    • If (Add_Santa Equal to True) then do (Hero - Create |cffFF0000Santa Hat and give it to (Last created unit)) else do (Do nothing)
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: (Player_Colors[(Player number of (Owner of (Buying unit)))] + ((Name of (Owner of (Buying unit))) + (|r + ( |cffC0C0C0picked|r + (|cff8080FF + ((Proper name of (Sold unit)) + |r))))))

OF MY GARD. XD. Man it is rly laggy, I havent opened we for more than halgf year but so obvios that you have Location leaks, allso use variables, set variables for unit, set unit-variable = sold unit, player variable = owner of unit-variable, not sold unit, location variable to position of unit-variable, also delete locations after using them, i dont remember screeps but I think it was call removelocation(udg_nameofvariable).

Unit - Remove (Sold unit) from the game
Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) for (Owner of (Sold unit)) at (Random point in Center <gen>) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))

Seeing how you just removed "Sold unit" it is illogical that "(Unit-type of (Sold unit))" will return anything meaningful. You need to either store the unit type in a local variable or remove the unit after create a new one.

If it is the first time the unit is being sold it may not be preloaded and will cause some frame drops due to a resource stall (where the game main thread is forced to stop execution and wait for I/O to finish).

I wanted t0 create this trigger without varibles, but if i must, i will use them. Also ofc i will use custom scripts to remove leaks Tnx guys

Variables can be your best friend.

As above was said remove your leaks

Leaks:

• Unit - Remove (Random unit from (Units owned by (Owner of (Sold unit)) of type Pick Cat)) from the game
• Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) for (Owner of (Sold unit)) at (Random point in Center <gen>) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
• Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Last created unit)) to (Position of (Last created unit)) over 0.00 seconds

Also, is following line working well?

• Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: (Player_Colors[(Player number of (Owner of (Buying unit)))] + ((Name of (Owner of (Buying unit))) + (|r + ( |cffC0C0C0picked|r + (|cff8080FF + ((Proper name of (Sold unit)) + |r))))))

I'm just asking because you remove 'Sold unit' before out of game.

• If (Add_Santa Equal to True) then do (Hero - Create |cffFF0000Santa Hat and give it to (Last created unit)) else do (Do nothing)

Don't use do nothing, ever! Use comments instead, that function did one thing : slow down the trigger process.
