Trigger to create a square pattern, but something is wrong :S

[Komaqtion]

Hi !

Ok, so I'm trying to create a pattern on the terrain on Map Init using special effects created a set range between eachother, with columns and rows...

Ok, so this is only supposed to create the vertical stuff atm, but something is wrong XD

It only creates one single "row" with the first big loop (But I'd believe it still puts the right amount of SFXs in those 24 lines, meaning that it isn't changing row...), and then it creates some random pattern with the other big loop (They cross the SFXs from the first loop sometimer, horizontally I mean, and create crosses and stuff)

Any ideas on why this is happening ? :S

        private constant integer COLUMNS = 12
        private constant integer ROWS = 12
        
        private constant integer BORDER_RES = 15          // How many effect the border for each square will consist of !
        private constant real SQUARE_HEIGHT = 480.
        private constant real SQUARE_WIDTH = 480.
        private constant real SQUARE_HD = SQUARE_HEIGHT / BORDER_RES
        private constant real SQUARE_WD = SQUARE_WIDTH / BORDER_RES

Hej,
Can you please post a clear picture of what pattern you are expecting to see? It's hard to find out what you are doing wrong when we don't know what it is supposed to do.

Most probably hitting the operation limit. Ysee, its impossible to execute over ~45k statements in a single thread (varying, read the post for more details, though it's completely untested/etc)


So you gotta spread the actions in the loops over several functions and do func.execute() in the main loop. It will slow down the exec speed.. but it's the only viable solution afaik.
