Server Split :(

[The Big S]

Hey guys. I am experiencing a server split with my map.

It works fine in LAN with 3 people, but when I'm playing it on Bnet with more than 2 people, it causes a server split. Today four of us tried playing together, and it split us into two groups of two. I thought I had all of the leaks clean, but I guess I was wrong. Could someone please take a look and see if there is anything that could be causing this? I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

What makes you believe that the trigger you posted is responsible for the server split?
If I got it right, server splitting can depend on several different reasons.
My maps acts really weird if I have an endless loop. Or if I try to manipulate the 'time of day' and 'time of day speed'. There are, of course, plenty of other reasons.. But those two are the ones I come to think of at the moment.
It's weird, though, that you can play on LAN and not on B.net?

 

[The Big S]

Yeah, it's really weird. I'm guessing it's the init because it always splits RIGHT at initialization.

 

[Exide]

Then I don't know.
I know a few commands can't be run at Map Init. But I doubt they will cause Server Splitting..
Try breaking the trigger down in a few triggers and make them fire after each other, with some seconds delay.
Like, Map Init. *Actions 1 to 7*, Time - Elapsed time is 3 seconds *Actions 8 to 15* Time - Elapsed time is 6 seconds *Actions 16 to 23*
-Or something like that.
Not sure if it is possible or not with your trigger, depending on the actions.
But it would be good if you could break it up, then you might get a clue of what is actually causing the split. (If it's a trigger at all..)

Cinematic - Turn on cinematic mode causes desyncs. Try deactivating this action, and test the map. Also, your Player Group action leaks.

Thank you! That will probably be the reason (The cinematic mode that is)

Also, if you wouldn't mind, where does my player group action leak? (Thought I had cleaned it)

Why did you add those local variables? You don't need them, really.

 

[The Big S]

Why did you add those local variables? You don't need them, really.

Oh, well I just did it so that there was no possible way anything could go wrong on the initialization (And then it did anyway )

 

[SFilip]

Actually they could've been the reason for something to go wrong...not a server split, but you wouldn't, for example, be able to read something from either of those from player/unit group "Loop - Actions".

In other words don't do it unless you really, really have to.

 

[The Big S]

Oh okay. All I knew was that memory leaks were bad, and that locals and then nulling locals was the way to go to prevent them
