hey everyone im back, and with more problems.

ok i have 2 pushback spells, 1 based off of blink, the other uhh blink strike?

ok well if i have both of these spells enabled at the same time i lag quite a bit, its not a lag that gets worse or gets better its a constant and i dont know what the problem is, anyways so i tryed the combos of turning them off and enabling 1 and not the other vice-versa, and when only 1 is enbaled and not the other its fine... dont know what it is, dont think its leaks iv checked them pretty good i think, but anyways heres the 2 spells

What turns off the periodic triggers? That is probably the problem. The one with the 0.03 seconds is the one that lags

the peirodic triggers woulndt lag it if there was no leak, i also had a control, i used only 1 of the units that would be affected by the trigger at a time and i have other maps where i have over 20 periodic triggers running at once, only a few of them are being put to work at the same time and it still does not lag those maps

Well then just in case give the 0.03 periodic triggers an If Then Else statement because that would normally lag me especially with loops going off ever 0.03 seconds :p

Edit: whats the point of destroying a effect right after its created ?

Code: 
Special Effect - Create a special effect at Point[2] using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlakCannons\FlakTarget.mdl
                Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

Click to expand...

If you don't destroy an effect, you have a leak. If you do, you still see it go off and everything. So, why not destroy an effect right after you create it?

As for the original question, I have no idea why it lags.

These triggers initiate like 0.01 seconds after another and i already know about destroying special effects but i mean really there will be no effect it just adds more momentum

Probably you have a large array size. There is limit in using arrays. Too many arrays may not be good for the game. Try reduce some of the arrays that you recently created (since you said it wasn't laggy before this). Then see if it lags.


> will be no effect it just adds more momentum

Not sure what you mean here. But creation and instant destruction of effects will make the effect play their death animation.

    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
