First Jass script laggy.

This is my first JASS Script, also it is a JASS version of a GUI system i created, Cone Vision.

Firstly i used "Convert to Custom Text" as a starting point so i didint have to actuall re-write everything. I then reduced it from about 50 functions to 3 and I put all loops into local variables. other then that its almost exactly the same as after conversion.

The problem with this code is that it has more lag then the GUI version. Meaning I can run less units (in the unit group) before lag starts appearing. In the original (GUI) I had 24 units before lag starts with this one I have 18 and its already slightly noticeable.

What can be changed to reduce the lag/performance?

If your to test this script you will need to create the same varaibles as the GUI version needs, these variables are not local.

  • VISCount int
  • VISGroup UnitGroup
  • VISLocation Point
  • VISTest Visibility Modifier (Array)

I recommend reading up on how to use vJass and structs and such. It is a longer fix to your problem than maybe you want, but once you start using vJass, your scripting life will dramatically improve. This is coming from someone who was a staunch GUI user, and now I am a happy vJass user. Just my two cents. :)

I used to be a very unhappy GUI user who couldn't move up to JASS becuase I had a Mac (newgen only runs on windows), but now i'm god.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
