| 04:33.36 | Draktok | mm |
| 04:33.41 | Draktok | does zolden not get on here much more ? |
| 05:27.47 | Draktok | hmm does anyone know the full effect of how bogged down a game will become if i run all the wave triggers to start based on timers that check every 10 seconds |
| 05:27.52 | Draktok | is it eventually going to lag shit?? |
| 05:32.31 | Draktok | jk, i can just kill the timer trigger affter the fact |
| 05:32.32 | Draktok | should be fine |
| 05:38.10 | temhawk | not sure what you mean by wave triggers. if it's just giving the AI objectives then it probably shouldn't lag at all. if you mean creating a bunch of units all at once, then it depends on just how many units. if it's a lot and the timing doesn't have to be exactly simultaneous you could just intersperse it with a few wait actions. or you could create the units in small batches in advance and teleport them when you want if there's a place on |
| 05:38.10 | temhawk | <PROTECTED> |
| 05:40.03 | Draktok | Well what happens is after a timer expires, every "period time" it fires this trigger that checks conditions and then spawns units if they are met |
| 05:40.15 | Draktok | but what i realized is that i can have a timer set and just kill the trigger after time has elapsed |
| 05:40.22 | Draktok | which would remove the lag if it was to cause any |
| 05:40.35 | Draktok | ie, when wave 1 timer ends, kill wave 1 spawn |
| 05:41.36 | temhawk | oh, yeah. Turn Trigger On/Off is very useful |
| 05:42.08 | Draktok | I'm learning alot, next thing i am to do is play with the UI |
| 05:42.14 | Draktok | know any good tutorials for ui ? |
| 05:44.09 | temhawk | not really. this blue post is probably the most useful thing I've come across: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/6471837878 it's very basic |
| 05:44.31 | Draktok | i figured out a good trigger for having units that are created attack based on their relative position which seems to work great, IE, every 10 ~ seconds the game is checking the distance of a hero vs them, and then they issue a attack command based on it |
| 05:44.45 | Draktok | Seems to work great, but with 5 players, i might need to have it fire every 2 instead of 10, or something |
| 05:45.08 | Draktok | because if one hero grabs the aggro , if they are stuck on a ramp or something for example, it will be 10 seconds before they change targets |
| 05:45.43 | Draktok | meaning a player who knew the attack command was issued slower, they could essentially abuse it , mostly on wave starts |
| 05:47.11 | Draktok | I'll take a look at that post ... see what i can figure out |
| 05:47.38 | Draktok | i'm using the war3 (GA) triggers anyways, so i don't know what i can change if it's hard coded in the library (the ui) |
| 05:54.30 | Draktok | Christ, i'll do ui later, if ever, wow |
| 05:54.42 | Draktok | The triggers he used to develop the ui for the war3 will take me a very long time to decompile |
| 05:55.25 | temhawk | yeah, UI can be a bit of a nightmare |
| 05:55.39 | Draktok | have you seen the triggers for the war3 (Ga) mod v.v |
| 05:56.09 | temhawk | no |
| 05:56.23 | Draktok | very impressive, tough though when there is part of an ability scripted through the trigger instead of data, making it harder to change something - for example, he has a spell tied to kill the missile after 10 units, so i can't change that in the data |
| 05:56.32 | Draktok | have to kill his trigger, rebuild my own and change the value |
| 05:56.57 | Draktok | and killing his trigger might be tied to other triggers related to the ability... |
| 05:57.04 | Draktok | so sometimes have to recreate the entire ability trigger |
