Potential Desync issue

I've tested my map about 15 times on B.net now, and twice (or thrice) it has desynced every player on the map (leaves me alone and other players tell me they got booted as well). I don't use the pan as necessary trigger (no cameras at all) and the only custom script i Use is for a skill (which doesn't seem to be this issue) and all that does is delete a location variable.

Is there a post with desync warnings and/or signs to look for in the default plug-and-play functions to see what could be desyncing it? It appears to happen randomly, with no reproducible results, and i see no infinite loop triggers that could be setting it. And, no, I've never used GetLocalPlayer in a custom script.

I also have a good 60+ triggers in my code so i can't post it all.

Some bad values in gameplay constants or in object editor can desync. ( Some creep camp thingies or too many dice per slice with fast attack speed, etc. )

GetLocalPlayer is the most obvious one, but you say you dont use it, so it cant be it.

PanCameraIfNecessarily - GUI action desyncs too, if Im not mistaken. ( but you say you dont use it so.. )

Dont know if leaking too much things can desync, I've just heard something like that.

There is propably more which I dont know. Try to track that trigger, by disabling some triggers and checking if desync still comes.

In my first map the problem with desynch was high attack dmg (high values+ high dice per slice)
In my new map the problem was when host clicked on tavern in first 10 seconds the game splited , i fixed it by making tavern available after 10 seconds.

Well, after spending a good whole month on my map I read on these boards that you should make a temp variable for every trigger then delete it with the custom script. If i have a whole lot of triggers that don't delete the variables manually, can that be a problem? Examples of some would be:
Trigger:
  • Player 1 Ally Bounty 2
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
    • Conditions
      • (Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to Player 5 (Yellow)
    • Actions
      • Player - Add 5 to Player 1 (Red) Current gold
      • Player - Add 5 to Player 2 (Blue) Current gold
      • Player - Add 5 to Player 3 (Teal) Current gold
      • Player - Add 5 to Player 4 (Purple) Current gold

and
Trigger:
  • Lumber Per Kill
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Dies
    • Conditions
      • ((Triggering unit) is Summoned) Equal to False
      • ((Triggering unit) is A structure) Equal to False
      • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Neutral Passive
      • ((Triggering player) is an enemy of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Player - Add 1 to (Owner of (Killing unit)) Current lumber

No leaks there.
Tried a memory leak tutorial yet? We have a couple around here.

Generally though, leaks don't desync.
Unless hugely huge masses of them happen to happen :p

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
