Why do players drop?

[blah900]

I've had this working for quite a while now, so I don't personally think it's the same trigger but I thought I may as well get some opinions.

So probably the problem starts with either Gate Destroy in Waves folder

Or

Attack Spawn with special effects


Or

It has to do with the for-loop which was working fine just until recently. It drops as soon as one of the following triggers (i think) runs.

Edit: It also has some problems in other wave sections as well.
I'm not sure whether it's the sheer amount of trigger actions or it's something else.


Edit 2: I don't know, sometimes it drops even when the wait timer is taken out. Sometimes it drops with wait timer in. Sometimes it drops for no reason. Is it overloading the players or what?

• Actions
  • -------- Void Walkers-------
  • Set tempSpawn = (Center of Spawn_Undead_Weak[(Random integer number between 0 and 2)])
  • Unit - Create 1 Greater Voidwalker for Player 10 (Light Blue) at tempSpawn facing Default building facing degrees
  • Set Reward_Unit[0] = (Last created unit)
  • Trigger - Add to Reward <gen> the event (Unit - (Last created unit) Dies)
  • Wait 2.00 seconds

After this wait you continue to reference udg_tempSpawn without resetting it. Change it to a local.

The World Editor doesn't operate on opinions.

I don't remember the last time something happened without any explanation behind it.

Dude you have a massive abuse of Waits. I'm not even going to look at this because you use waits religiously. It would take forever to properly debug this.

13,75 billion years ago, its called "big bang".



Seriously , check out the tutorial section and learn propper coding. Then such bugs wont happen again. And you will be even able to make everything faster, so the investment in reading tutorials is always a great idea

Well actually, I've read through every single tutorial available on GuI and most of Jass tutorials, probably just didn't retain enough information. Anyhow,

thanks Teelo, let me try resetting the tempSpawn every time. I thought it would work since tempSpawn isn't used in any other trigger and therefore technically wouldn't be reset for any other reason then after the tempSpawn being removed.

Also I guess I should fix the wait timer to countdown timer using Jass to see if it fixes up anything.

Thanks for the advice.

 

[blah900]

okay so with people's advice, I made a major overhaul of my map using mostly jass to get rid of many things.

However I still have some wait functions in there but not as intensely as before.

However there are still instances where players drop. This happens mostly in Wave 3 in Waves folder.

Is there a reason for this?

Haven't looked at it, but it is most likely still the waits.
You should instead use

function function_name takes nothing returns nothing
   //Continue it here
endfunction

TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 1.00, false, function function_name)

Waits are unreliable.
