System Timer Ticker

[Uberplayer]

>I expect some people to start making spells with TT.
Sorry.. I've trying to be away from wc3 as much as I've could, as it's vacation.. I can make few spells with this some day, some where...

 

[0zaru]

Err you are annoying, you know ?

Who is this person called "You"?

If you use function that returns nothing instead of function that returns boolean
it will cause desyncs.

So yeah, try not to play stupid.

I thought you made shit to be retard friendly...

again I say, this is ok for .03?

in anycase, seems like a very neat system, and makes the new vJASS made easy method of running a struct loop through one timer much easier

the true/false return to keep it running or stop it is truely clever, I must admit, hope I will have a chance to check this out in action some day

btw, for those of you who care that you cannot edit the timer speed dynamically, just remember this, if you need .01 for something, and .03 for something else, your going about it the wrong way, anything that is done at under .05 can be done at one speed, period, and anything above say .1 or .2 does not really need this method, since the performance gain is negligable

-Jesus4Lyf. Sorry I didn't say you post Uberplayer.

*Shrugs* I like my ExecCount kthx! Cohadar has something against it. His loss.

>again I say, this is ok for .03?
0.03 is fine. Just change the constant. (I understand TT perfectly.)

I am trying my best, but blizzard messes up with me, it cannot be done in this case since bot actions and conditions can be stored as code variable..

again I say, this is ok for .03?

Of course it is, I made PERIOD a public constant.
and I would have mentioned it if it was not would I.

TT was made as a special case of ABCT (script no. 3)

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

I just realised something...

How are people going to make and release spells for TT if they're designed to use different periods? Couldn't this be rather problematic? =/

 

[emjlr3]

thats what config options are for

 

[Cohadar]

That should be pretty obvious to any moderate jasser,
and I think emjlr3 already explained that. (see a few posts back)

Now please stop realizing things.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Fair enough.

>Now please stop realizing things.
k ^_^

I finally bothered to read through your system, and test it out.
The idea and execution aren't bad. In fact they are pretty smart. The variable names are goddamn horrible, but I can always change it as long as I don't plan on sharing the stuff I make with it .

On my system it began lagging between a period of 0.01375 and 0.0125 in case anyone's interested in how low it can practically go. I have a fairly good system, so I'd probably go 0.02 at lowest, and probably 0.025 to account for the fact that any full map is likely to have many more things going on at a time.

I was planning on spell packing the last 3 spells I released here, because it makes me feel dirty that they are all out alone and cold, so I might use this system with them.

 

[hasslarn]

nice system

I totally don't understand this, what does timer period has to do with how many things are going on at the same time?

And why would you go below 0.04 == 25 frames per second
that is a standard movie picture frequency?
It makes no difference to the human eye below that.

 

[gref]

0.05 is fine for me...
People asked earlier in the thread if this system could be used to 0.03, and I felt I may as well get a base benchmark how efficient this was for my system.

just read thru the whole topic and noticed this

I expect some people to start making spells with TT.
I will not name anyone but...
maybe some nicknames
[U][B]Flare[/B][/U], ~GaLs~, Uberplayer .....

why am i being picked out lol?

 

[Cohadar]

Because you just started learning JASS.

 

[Cohadar]

New Version.
100% compatible with the old one, just replace the trigger text.

 

[cr4xzZz]

Cool, new version. I'm not sure but did you leave the old start and getdata functions? Cuz I see you've written something about everything working with one timer..

> // who can guess why am I not nulling swap here?
I can't :/ ^^

 

[emjlr3]

what it points to never gets removed, so nulling it would do nothing
