Flag Tag Lag?

10-06-2004, 06:09 AM

OK i made a kind of gameplay mode for my map.. It's just like on those games like goldeneye and perfect dark where a flag or something is created and your team has to hold the flag until the time that you hold it accumulates to 600 seconds. Theres just one problem.. It all works perfectly but there seems to be slight lag every second or so which is not good lol. My friends with way better computers than me (i have 1.01ghz) say they don't lag but still.. I'm probably not the only one with a bad computer.. I'll run you through the triggers..

This just sets up all the triggers (I havn't decided how to implemented it so its just activated by a chat string). The problem wouldnt be here lol.

Code:

UFT Start Uber Flag Tag
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -ubertag as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Item - Create Uber Flag at (Random point in FlagSpawn <gen>)
        Game - Display to (All players) for 20.00 seconds the text:     == Uber Flag Ta...
        Trigger - Run UFT Set up Multiboard <gen> (checking conditions)
        Trigger - Turn on UFT Set Up  Points <gen>
        Trigger - Turn on UFT Declare Winner <gen>
        Trigger - Turn on UFT Showing the Flag <gen>

This just sets up the multiboard things that wont be changed... I don't think the problem is here.

Code:

UFT Set up Multiboard
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 2 columns and 6 rows, titled Uber Flag Tag Scores
        Set UberFlagBoard = (Last created multiboard)
        Multiboard - Set the display style for UberFlagBoard item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
        Multiboard - Set the width for UberFlagBoard item in column 0, row 0 to 6.00% of the total screen width
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 1 to |cffBBB135Team 1
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 2 to |cffBBB135Team 2
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 3 to |cffBBB135Team 3
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 4 to |cffBBB135Team 4
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 5 to |cffBBB135Team 5
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 6 to |cffBBB135Team 6
        Wait 2.00 seconds
        Multiboard - Show UberFlagBoard

Now.. This is the trigger that checks to see if a player has the flag, if they do it sets their teams score up 1 point each second. Then at the bottom it applies the score to the score board every second. This is where the lag might be coming from me thinks! (I tried making it refresh the scoreboard every 20 seconds but the lag was still here. If it's in this trigger im guessing it's the loops checking and setting the integers).

Code:

UFT Set Up  Points
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)

                    If - Conditions

                            Conditions

                                (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 10 (Light Blue)
                    Then - Actions

        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)

                        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
                            Conditions

                        Set UF_Points6 = (UF_Points6 + 1)
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 2, row 1 to (String(UF_Points1))
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 2, row 2 to (String(UF_Points2))
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 2, row 3 to (String(UF_Points3))
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 2, row 4 to (String(UF_Points4))
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 2, row 5 to (String(UF_Points5))
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 2, row 6 to (String(UF_Points6))

This pretty much pings where the flag or where the player with the flag is every 4 seconds. I took this out to see if the lag would stop but it still went.. So i don't think this is the cause).

Code:

UFT Showing the Flag
    Events
        Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Geno-E Human Marine) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        ((Picked unit) has an item of type Uber Flag) Equal to True
                    Then - Actions
                        Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at (Position of (Picked unit)) for 2.00 seconds, using a Warning ping of color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%)
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing
        Item - Pick every item in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Item-type of (Picked item)) Equal to Uber Flag
                    Then - Actions
                        Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at (Position of (Picked item)) for 2.00 seconds, using a Warning ping of color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%)
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing

This checks to see if anyone has reached the winning score and turns off the uber tag mode. I don't know if this is the problem but you never know..

            Else - Actions

These last two triggers just check when a unit gets/drops the flag.. I don't think these are causing the problem!

Code:

UFT Unit drops flag
    Events
        Unit - A unit Loses an item
    Conditions
        (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Uber Flag
    Actions
        Set FlagBearer = No unit
        Unit - Set (Hero manipulating item) movement speed to 320.00
        Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: (PlayerColors[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] + ((Name of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item))) + |r has dropped the Uber Flag!))

Code:

UFT Unit gets flag
    Events
        Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    Conditions
        (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Uber Flag
    Actions
        Set FlagBearer = (Hero manipulating item)
        Unit - Set (Hero manipulating item) movement speed to 250.00
        Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: (PlayerColors[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] + ((Name of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item))) + |r has grabbed the Uber Flag!))

So yeh thats everything. If you can see any reason why it is lagging me tell me please :P Is it just my stupid computer or is my friend lying lol. I do have 640 ram though.. Anyway all the triggers that are initially turned off are the ones that are turned on at the start trigger.. So yeh thats everything. Help is much appreciated!

Basically, you have points and unit groups that are leaking, there are somethings that you should do:
We don't have anithing wrong here:

Code:

UFT Start Uber Flag Tag
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -ubertag as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Item - Create Uber Flag at (Random point in FlagSpawn <gen>)
        Game - Display to (All players) for 20.00 seconds the text:     == Uber Flag Ta...
        Trigger - Run UFT Set up Multiboard <gen> (checking conditions)
        Trigger - Turn on UFT Set Up  Points <gen>
        Trigger - Turn on UFT Declare Winner <gen>
        Trigger - Turn on UFT Showing the Flag <gen>

Neither Here:

Code:

UFT Set up Multiboard
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 2 columns and 6 rows, titled Uber Flag Tag Scores
        Set UberFlagBoard = (Last created multiboard)
        Multiboard - Set the display style for UberFlagBoard item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
        Multiboard - Set the width for UberFlagBoard item in column 0, row 0 to 6.00% of the total screen width
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 1 to |cffBBB135Team 1
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 2 to |cffBBB135Team 2
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 3 to |cffBBB135Team 3
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 4 to |cffBBB135Team 4
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 5 to |cffBBB135Team 5

The last 2 triggers doesn't have anithing wrong, the main problem was in the Set up points trigger.

Guest	I'm not sure but I tried that and i didn't lag... and btw that is a FUCKLOAD of shit

Chryosmere	Your a legend for answering lol. I'll add that stuff you said to put in Rafael and see if it's fixed. I had a feeling it was leaking but i didn't know how exactly to stop it so thanks. Also i picked every unit all the time in that trigger because it was 4am and I was half asleep when i did this Edit: Just tested and the lag is completely gone!

Yeah, you are leaking groups and points, but it's not that critical, it's 6 groups every second and an additional group and point every 4 seconds. nyway, it's still nice to clear memory leaks, but I don't see this as the real problem. With memory leaks, the gme becomes laggy later, when memory clogs up, and not from the beggining.

Also, you should optimize your code with loops and arrays. Instead of repeating the nearly same code for 6 times, use a loop. This is not your problem, though. The code would still run the same ammount of time, it would only be more optimized, shorter, so it would load up faster.

Ok i have another problem lol! This one is only one trigger though. It's just not working. OK.. The trigger is supposed to make it when a unit dies it is made smaller and its size (integer array( SM_size)) is reduced by one. If it gets to 0, that unit is eliminated but is still respawned to help their ally win or just cause havoc and is put back to it's original size. If a unit kills a unit it is made bigger. If it reaches the (integer array( SM_size)) 9 it will stop growing and will stop getting points into SM_size. SM_size is constantly displayed on a multiboard. The bottom If, Then, Else is just for the winner so when number of players = number of people eliminated + 1 it will declar that person the winner.

The 2 If, then, elses at the top of the trigger just make sure that if your at 9 or 1 you wont get anymore points on the scoreboard. Then set the points as the actions.

Now here is the problem:
It does't work.

It doesn't change the unit's size and it does'nt change the multiboard (nothing wrong with the multiboard trigs). Umm... and yeh so basically doesn't work at all.

Any help is appreciated!

I almost have got crazy for reading all that code, but I don't see anithing wrong, you could try removing the dying unit as the last action of the trigger, removing the unit that triggered the spell causes the other actions to be skipped sometimes, check all of your variables too,another trigger could be causing the problem.
I think I am worth of a rep point, reding all your immense code once, and once again now, and solving your problem on the first time...
EDIT: This thing is leaking more than 10 points each time it runs...

You seem to be unfamiliar with the concepts of mathematical functions. The point is that a value can be a function of another value (or multiple other values). In your case, the size of the unit is a function of the score of the owner of the unit. The higher the score, the greater the size. Instead of doing things with a bunch of if-then-elses, you can simply determine the correct size of the unit with a mathematical function based on the score.

A simple linear approximation would be that unit size increases by 20% per score point. This function would look like this:

Code:

set tempInteger = 30 + ( SM_Size[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] * 20 )
Animation - Change (Killing unit)'s size to (real(tempinteger)%, real(tempinteger)%, real(tempinteger)%) of its original size

This effectively replaces all those if-then-elses. But if-then-elses are not the only thing you can shorten. Whenever you do a lot of copy-pasting, it can probably be done simpler with loops. Let's take a look at a simple and obvious example from your triggers:

Code:

        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 1 to |cffBBB135Team 1
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 2 to |cffBBB135Team 2
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 3 to |cffBBB135Team 3
        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 4 to |cffBBB135Team 4

        Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row 6 to |cffBBB135Team 6

Here's a simpler version, using a loop and in the loop, referencing the loop integer (integer A) with functions (in this case, a very simple linear function, where the number of the row is equal to (integer A)):

Code:

  For each integer A from 1 to 6 do actions:
    loop - actions:
      Multiboard - Set the text for UberFlagBoard item in column 1, row (integer A) to "|cffBBB135Team " + string(integer A)

Code:

set tempInteger = 30 + ( SM_Size[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] * 20 )
Animation - Change (Killing unit)'s size to (real(tempinteger)%, real(tempinteger)%, real(tempinteger)%) of its original size

What would you do for dying unit then? =\
