What causes desyncs?

I've been playing a new Parasite map, Parasite Resurrection, on my GHost One bot, and the map desyncs atleast once every ten games. I have been playing mostly via LAN, if that means anything. I'm just wondering what could be causing a desync that spilts the game in half. I read somewhere that there are some Jass functions that can cause it. And I know the map maker.

AFAIK, GetLocalPlayer() returns the player running the script, and can be used to differentiate players and only have a select few run something. If something is done by only some of the players that will interact with something later, it can cause a desync.

Sorry if wordy

Once every ten games on only your bot sounds like a server split, not a desync. You can't cause a server split with triggers.

> I guess if ur map leaks it'll cause a desync , not sure though.
Leaks don't cause desyncs.

If your bot tells you
"Game have desynch + date & time" then it desynched.

If players are just split into two groups which both get in a separated game, then thats a server split. (Which happens often with Ghost one)

I think you can if you use get local player, then try and change something just for him.

That's a desync, not a server split.

It isn't always split in half, I've lost just one person before. I'll note the times I've seen it happen at and try to see what triggers he has causing it. Oh, here's another major problem on my part, when opening the beta version of this release, I get and error: Trigger function does not exist in database: GetHandleIdBJ. The hell is that?

If you use GetLocalPlayer and created a footman for only 6 players out of 12, wouldn't that cause something like a server split?

No, just desynch.

It would desynch whenever a player would see the footman which wasn't created for him in his screen. (I think)

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
