Whats the delay between trigger checks?

[Zayfod]

Just curious cause I have certain scripts that count enemy numbers and check the knowsabout of each unit in extremely fast loops with a pause of only 0.015 and I dont wanna cause unnescessary lag in game.

So I thought if I new how often a trigger checks its self it would help be gauge how far I could "push the envelope" so to speak.

As a side note the scripts appear to be working perfectly fine but I have no way of checking frame rate, as it may have gone down a bit--but really hard to tell.

anyone?

I don't know, but I do know that I read about it somewhere.... wish I could remember where, sorry

Cheers dude,

I just got fraps 1.9 so Ill check it with that also.

Like I said I cant actually see any difference but you never know.

If I find that checking enemy numbers and checking knowsabout of the enemy in a loop of 0.015 is causing any issues Ill let u know.

If it does cause any issues I may put a counter in the loop that counts the loops and only checks the numbers and knowsabout every second or 1.5 seconds ;D

Maybe i can bring up some light here;

I've startet a thread on October the 12th (took me ages
to find it), where i linked to a thread at BIS forum.

There SUMA (BIS-developer) explained that.

If you don't want to follow the links, here's the short
answer to your question: triggers are checked twice per second.

Thanks Chris Death--I think that was a tough question to answer. ;D


LOL LCD good on ya mate  u were quite right, cheers ;D

O and by the way I can see no evidence at all of framerate loss when counting enemy numbers and checking knowsabout in a loop of 0.015.

7 AI are running the script simultaneously.

But in MP it may be another story.
