Formulas create leaks?

[Frozenwind]

I've got a trigger which I made leakless (removed unitgroup leak and location leak). Don't worry about those leaks, I know how to remove that.
Although it gets laggy slowly...

So:
Do you guys think formula's cause leaks?

My trigger contains lotta formula's like:
360.00/(real_var/20.00)

Shall wc3 use part of your RAM in order to calculate, but forget to remove the used space?

 

[Uberplayer]

No. Don't worry about those.

BUT! Of course this is clearly a leak:
360.00/(GetLocationX(GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()))/20.00)

 

[xxxtrickyxxx]

put that into an interger A - 1 to 10,000.

 

[Uberplayer]

That hits the operation limit. The "formula" doesn't leak.

1) BUT! Of course this is clearly a leak:
360.00/(GetLocationX(GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()))/20.00)

2) That hits the operation limit. The "formula" doesn't leak.

1) I know that leaks, but real_var hasn't anything to do with a location.

2) So I should try to remove the formula's out of my periodic event?

 

[Larcenist]

There is no need to remove those formulas. The thing hitting OP limit would be adding an integer loop from 1 to 10,000.

 

[Frozenwind]

I got a loop from 0 to 'variable -1'.
When testing the variable was 1, so it would be a loop which ran once.
So it shudn't hit the limit?

Not really.
Posting the trigger might help...

 

[Frozenwind]

I don't think it will, since I removed all location & group leaks.

I removed all location & group leaks.

You sure?

Unit Group - Pick every unit in Ori_Wispgroup[(Integer A)] and do (Actions)

You leak one group. This is the first one that jumped in my eyes, maybe there are others.

 

[Frozenwind]

Nop, I don't.
When I would do "call DestroyGroup (udg_LEAK_unitgroupvar1)"
my units get removed out of the group.
Problem: the units shouldn't EVER get removed during the game.
With other words, the trigger only works the first time it runs (when adding the custom script)

 

[monoVertex]

Ah, sorry, I misread the trigger... Seems I got rusty with GUI, he heh .

 

[vypur85]

The trigger doesn't leak. The increase of Ori_N_WispWheels_InMap and number of units in Ori_Wispgroup makes the game lag, I think. How's the increment pattern like? If they increase gradually throughout the game, then it makes sense if the game becomes laggier.

 

[Frozenwind]

When testing I didn't raise any of those.
The only trigger running during testing was this trigger.
What doesn't change here, doesn't change at all.

I think I'm gunna let the map run for like 20min and observe... with my stopwatch

 

[vypur85]

> ... with my stopwatch

Lol...

But I can tell you that the formula definately did not leak. Not to the extent of causing lag. I have 0.01 periodic triggers (about 2 or 3 of them) running in a map almost all the time with formula more complicated than that and yet it doesn't lag that much. By the way, how many units are there? A big loop in a another loop can be quite painful sometimes.

 

[AdamGriffith]

What about posting the triggers that add the units to the group and set the values...

 

[monoVertex]

Question... during the execution ,if you move the camera to some other part of the map, far away from the wisps, does it lags anymore?

20 units

worth a try

Simply

Unit Group - Add Wisp 0013 <gen> to Ori_Wispgroup[0]

I know, it's a noob-way, but I've got a reason to do so.

EDIT:
Checked 2.5minutes, at the midle of the wispwheel and in the far corner of my map.
Far corner of my map is 100% lagless.
In the wispwheel the only problem is that it ain't smooth, but that is easy to fix: speed up periodic event.

I think my RAM was close to full when testing yesterday or something...
