Is using a timer array with a fixed amount bad? i.e. pre-creating 1000 timers at map initialization? |

Maybe you should ask, why you need a thousand timers... A 100 will do, though 1000 at map init = lag -Av3n |

Perhpaps create 100 timers at map initialization and use a backup system if they arent enough for some reason. Altough from my experience having shitloads of handles hanging around doesnt neccessarely have a noticeable effect. I once had a map where i created 8000 units. My fps dropped below 2 i think. However when I modified the map so that all of those units were hidden just after creation all the problems went away. So I would assume that idle handles arent that bad. The SmartTimers system here on wc3campaigns uses this pre-creating method btw. http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=85753 |
