what can you guys tell me about this kind of spell

[caleman]

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 20, do (Actions)
  • Bucle: Acciones
    • Set magicianloc2 = (magicianloc offset by (50.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) towards (Facing of magiciancaster) degrees)
    • Unidad - Create 1 Dummy (Effect 3) for (Owner of magiciancaster) at magicianloc2 facing (Facing of magiciancaster) degrees
    • Unidad - Add a 0.25 second Genérico expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Set magiciangroup = (Units within 300.00 of magicianloc2 matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of magiciancaster)) Igual a True))
    • Grupo de unidad - Pick every unit in magiciangroup and do (Actions)
      • Bucle: Acciones
        • Unidad - Cause magiciancaster to damage (Picked unit), dealing 50.00 damage of attack type Conjuros and damage type Desconocido
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_magiciangroup)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_magicianloc2)

do they decrease map performance/cause lag?

as you can see the spell is doing everything at the same time unlike similar spells that use a 0.05 periodic event for example

It may lag during the unit creation period. 20 units will be created at the same time in a straight line.

integer A is also less efficient than making and using ur own integer. this spell can also be done without having to create even one unit.

 

[caleman]

you guys think the unit creation takes more performance than the whole creating 10-20 groups and calculating units within 200-300?

"integer A is also less efficient than making and using ur own integer"
how did you find out about that? how does one calculate that?

@caleman
We run some tests, some of us using Memory Usage or Performance in he Task Manager provided by OS - which in this case, this method is negligible.
This method can be used to test "trigger leaking" and when leak happens, you will see Memory Usage will increase as time goes on.
The increase is gradually, this means something wrong.
If it increases and decreases dynamically without having significant change, this is normal as handle is created and destroyed in the game dynamically.

Also, Integer A/B may bugged out if it collides with another trigger that occurs at the same time using the same, Integer A/B.
And if this happens, the counter to these integer will mess up and might mess up your calculation on a specific trigger.

That is why we use Integer Variable, this will vary for each trigger, and for each usage.
Usually, people just create just one Integer Variable and use it globally for all triggers, they do not collide however.

maybe

 

[deathismyfriend]

Integer A/B calls a bj function when being used. Makin ur own integers e using it does not do this. If u want to check out the speeds more look at my tutorial things a GUIer should know.

10 to 20 groups ? U should only need one

 

[Chaosy]

that is not the problem death. the integer a uses a blizzard made variable and they will over-write each other if they are used at the same time obiously

about the spell 20 units aint a big problem overall but I suggest using a special effect insted I think that lagg less.

 

[deathismyfriend]

I know they can be overwritten but if its a spell that uses waits with a loop it's not MUI anyways. I was tlking purely about how they are less efficient. U can do the same with integer A as u can with a player made variable. Only difference is integer A is slower.

Integer B is the same thing

10 to 20 groups ? U should only need one

in the spell theres 1 group used 20 times , not sure what you are trying to say, if theres a more efficent way please tell me how

 

[Chaosy]

he misunderstood you. Death thought you meant you used 20 different unit groups. I did so too
