Disconnected... any idea why?

Some1Sneakin · Sep 19, 2007

hi ppl who reads this,

Ive made a new map, Vampirism Evil Lord!
ive made version 0.15 now but after ive made
ver 0.12 there were a strange thing happening...
It just said EVERYONE left except me at the same time, strange? huh?
So i re-hosted, and same thing happened after some time.
Then i realised, i were the one dissconnected not all others,
so first i through it was hosting porblems but im not sure.

So im still in the game but alone but actully im dissconnected?!?!
While all others is in the game too but in a copy of the game where i got dissconnected for? Is this something normal cause i just learned to host
2 days ago.
BUT once when it happened when i got dissconnected or whatever, another guy were still playing the same game as me! how could that happen then?

I want to know the reason for everything and how to solve this problem.

Could be caused by leaks, etc. -In other words: bad triggers.
You should make sure all your triggers are leak free, especially the periodic event-ones.
Do you disconnect at the SAME time in the game, everytime?
I.E when you cast a certain spell with a hero, or something similar.

-I'm pretty sure whatever it is that is causing the disconnection, it's in your triggers. If you think you've found the guilty one, you can post it here and show us.

> It just disconnects

Isn' t very good problem description. When do you exactly will disconnect ? What you are doing when it happens or what trigger(s) is/ are running while it happens ? Any pre-placed units placed to deep/ shallow water ? Units with very huge attack dice combined with very fast attack speed ? Camera offset Z set to really high value ?
For better causes what could disconnect some or all players please use forum search. There are listed things what might cause them and how to find your faulty triggers.
Also GUI action 'pan camera for player if necessary' will cause it.

MoonSlinger · Sep 19, 2007

I think you map need a major over-haul... or whatever its called.

What you experience is call Server-Split... or at least thats whats written here:
http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/cat_usersubmit.php?view=27242

And the reason, is due to memory leaks. To solve the problem, you only need to create temporary Points and Unit Groups, then use them to clean leaks with custom scripts. The above link will give you a start.

Some1Sneakin · Sep 20, 2007

ok its a server split i got.

and this might be the problem:

Code:

Feed
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes research
    Conditions
        (Researched tech-type) Equal to Feed 
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 11 (Dark Green)) or ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 12 (Brown))) and (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Hero - Add 2000 experience to (Picked unit), Show level-up graphics
                Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Picked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Items\TomeOfRetraining\TomeOfRetrainingCaster.mdl
                [B]Wait 3.00 seconds
                Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)[/B]
        Player - Add 100 to Player 11 (Dark Green) Current gold
        Player - Add 100 to Player 12 (Brown) Current gold
        Player - Add 1 to (Owner of (Researching unit)) Current gold

i added the

Wait 3.00 seconds
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

and hope it may solve some problems

but i think its this trigger cause:

i get dissconnected (server split) after 5-10 min, amd ppl usualy do that research in 5-10 min.

im trying to host now and see

Exide · Sep 20, 2007

I didn't read through all your triggers, but most of them contained one or more leak. Mainly point and group leaks.

No need to have a 3 second wait. Usually people will say there's no need for waits at all, but sometimes the special effect doesn't show without waits. I suggest a 0.10 second wait, before destroying the effect.

And as Moonslinger said, you need to fix your triggers and remove all the leaks.

NapaHero · Sep 20, 2007

Actually, for that Special Effect you don't need the wait. Leaks that I found (If I missed some, please tell me): Position of... leaks, Unit Group leaks and Player Group leaks. Use variables to set them and remove them at the end of the trigger (or before it ends):

Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_<VariableNameOfPositionOf...>)

Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_<VariableNameOfUnitGroup...>)

Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_<VariableNameOfPlayerGroup...>)

Disconnected... any idea why?
