Map gets Lag Bursts and Crashes

10-22-2005, 07:10 PM

Ok, a map i've been working on alot recently crashes often, and has many lag bursts. I think this may have something to do with a desyncing trigger, also I installed Creep Rebellion into the map if anyone knmows any bugs concerning that.

Please tell me ways to find a desyncing trigger, and also if anyone knows more details on maps crashing when a player leaves the game would be great.

I believe this trigger crashes the game, but dont know what causes the lag yet.

Code:

Player Leaves
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game
        Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 3 (Teal) leaves the game
        Player - Player 3 (Teal) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 4 (Purple) leaves the game
        Player - Player 4 (Purple) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 5 (Yellow) leaves the game
        Player - Player 5 (Yellow) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 6 (Orange) leaves the game
        Player - Player 6 (Orange) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 7 (Green) leaves the game
        Player - Player 7 (Green) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 8 (Pink) leaves the game
        Player - Player 8 (Pink) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 9 (Gray) leaves the game
        Player - Player 9 (Gray) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) leaves the game
        Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) leaves the game
        Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) leaves the game with a defeat
        Player - Player 12 (Brown) leaves the game
        Player - Player 12 (Brown) leaves the game with a defeat
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Alliance_Number[(Player number of (Player(Alliance_Number[(Player number of (Triggering player))])))] = 0
        Set TempPlayerGroup2 = (Player group((Player(Alliance_Number[(Player number of (Triggering player))]))))
        Game - Display to TempPlayerGroup2 for 10.00 seconds the text: |cffff0000Your Perm...
        Custom script:   call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayerGroup2)
        Set Alliance_Number[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = 0
        Set TempUnitGroup = (Units owned by (Triggering player))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Unit - Kill (Picked unit))
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_TempUnitGroup)

Vexorian	using the Convert Index to player function is always risky, if you give it bad values it will crash for sure

Earth-Fury	lag is most often caused by massive ammounts of units, or memory leaks. other things can cause lag, but those are the 2 most common.

MrApples

Thanks Lord Vexorian, you saying that reminded me that 0 isn't a player and if no one in the game has permanently allied yet its still 0.

But, asbout the lag spurts, its the beginning of the game so even if I did have memory leaks that wouldn't happen, and its a small map with everyone starting out with normal melee units.

So too many units and memory leaks cant be the cause.

Also, I think it may crash for other reasons too.

MrApples	Ok, well the leaving was the crashing I think. But it may still crash, and there also are the lag bursts. Anyone know of any laggy problems with using Creep Rebellion in a map?

kenyi251	Code: Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game with a defeat I think removing the second one will fix it. When u put "Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game", there is no more need the defeat condition.

MrApples3	The leaves game thing is fixed, but there are still the lag burst at the begginning of the map.

Anitarf	Perhaps you place some units or add some abilities to units at that time that need to be loaded. Loading stuff is often the cause of lag bursts.

MrApples3	Theres really nothing going on, none of my trigers are periodic or anything and most of them run when a fight is going on which there is none of in the beginning. As I said before I put Creep Rebellion into the map, is there any known problems with CR I should know of?
