Scripting question

[Tom_Kazansky]

Actually it's about loading time.
I don't think my map has too many doodads, pre-placed units are not many either.
But it has a pretty long loading time, more than 5 minutes :banghead:, after I use Vexorian's wc3mapoptimizer4.7c, the loading time decreased to.... 40 seconds (well, around that)
so I think maybe because of the script, the loading time is long.

Among the functions that I use:

function GetPPX takes real x, real dist, real angle returns real
    return x + dist * Cos(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)
endfunction

function GetPPY takes real y, real dist, real angle returns real
    return y + dist * Sin(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)
endfunction

function AngleLocXY takes real x1, real y1, real x2, real y2 returns real
    return bj_RADTODEG * Atan2(y2 - y1, x2 - x1)
endfunction

function DistanceLocXY takes real x1, real y1, real x2, real y2 returns real
    return SquareRoot( (x2-x1) * (x2-x1) + (y2-y1) * (y2-y1))
endfunction

they are "BJ-type", right ? I use them a alot

my question is, if I directly calculate instead of using the above functions, will my map load faster ?
( if it load faster, I don't mind if I have to do direct calculation )

EDIT: I have:
5772 doodads ( not too many, right , or it is ? )
142 units
0 items

I don't see why using 5 extra functions would increase loading time. Think about it, those functions use less than 1 kb of space. It could, in extreme cases, affect in-game performance but not loading time...

 

[Tom_Kazansky]

hmm.... but why does the loading time decrease so much after I use optimizer ?

Have you tried widgetizing then optimizing? The optimizer speeds up loading time by cleaning SLK's made by the widgetizer.

 

[Tom_Kazansky]

well, I want to decrease the loading time before otpimizing. you know, editing with such a long loading time, it's very.... (what should I write here ?) :banghead:

if I use (widgetizer + optimizer), the size of my map will decrease less than I only use optimizer

You said nothing about map size. Map size is not equivalent to loading time. Widgetizer + Optimizer WILL decrease loading time more than just using Optimizer. The file size of the map actually increases when you use the Widgetizer as changes the data structure of the map.

>You said nothing about map size. Map size is not equivalent to loading time
oh, my bad.

But anyways, I sastified with the loading time after optimizing. I still need a way to decrease loading time before optimizing so the editing+testing will be faster

EDIT: or maybe because my map size is big, it's 4.6MB
