[Solved] Why does it split people?

Vehster · Apr 25, 2011

My map seems to be splitting for no reason, I can't find why.

By Splitting I mean four players, when the spawns start its two players in two different games/gamestates.

mckill2009 · Apr 26, 2011

post triggers...

Vehster · Apr 26, 2011

I did, posted entire map.

mckill2009 · Apr 26, 2011

some people(like me), is too lazy to download and open a map, specially when my WE is not installed here now...

Vehster · Apr 26, 2011

Then how can you help?

Bond009 · Apr 26, 2011

ill just add most his triggers here to show u, if u dont have W.E atm.

i looked over a lot of them and a lot need some redoing as they arn't done very well but i dont see a sure sign of something making the game desync players..
anyway here they are

these ones could use help.. remove the if-then's and just put the conditions in the top one. this way it will check conditions and if not met it wont even run the trigger

This is where the major problems are.. u need to remove all the waits from your loops in most cases.. this is a Very Bad thing to do.
And when using Int A for loops with waits, this is almost a sure thing of what is messing your game up. becuz more than 1 trigger might be using this int A at the same time.

best thing to fix first is the loops that have waits with more than 1 trigger using that int var

Vehster · Apr 27, 2011

I can't remove the waits otherwise it would screw up my map and projectile system... This isn't the spell section, waits on loops work perfectly fine and are good for separating effects and units.
I timed it perfectly, no other trigger uses it at the same time but I will switch it to a private integer loop...
Thanks Bond009.

Bond009 · Apr 27, 2011

no prob, let me know if it is still desyncing on u

if it is it might be a leak problem with your unit groups in some of your triggers i see

mckill2009 · Apr 28, 2011

you dont need this >>> Set int = 0 coz every 120 seconds the int will reset...

this is doubled >>> Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

this is really not good coz you already have 1.75 seconds for the unit...

Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from fg
Wait 0.40 game-time seconds
Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

Time - Elapsed game time is 45.00 seconds will run only from the start of the game after 45seconds( just a note)...

Integer A & B loops doesnt matter at the moment coz you are just using it once, if you use loops many times though, I suggest you use integer variable for it to be unique...

other than that, what's really the problem?...I cant see anything except the waits...which is useless...use timers instead...

[Solved] Why does it split people?
