Map Respawn

[Anthony]

In a freshly downloaded MS4 the map respawns even when players on are the map.

Yupp. Well, the items do. I dunno about the rest.

[Anthony]

Private Sub UpdateMapSpawnItems()

Find:

Code:

' Make sure no one is on the map when it respawns
        If Not PlayersOnMap(y) Then

Change it to:

Code:

' Make sure no one is on the map when it respawns
        If PlayersOnMap(y) = NO Then

Fixed.

It would be better to just make PlayersOnMap a boolean.

(boolean is faster than byte)

[Doomy]

when can a boolon be used anywhere a byte can or in certain instances? ive nvr used it before

[Rian]

Not really. A byte is a variable with a value between 0 and 255, (256 total)

A boolean is a variable with a true or false value

Public PlayersOnMap as Boolean

Usage:

Toggle - PlayersOnMap = True or PlayersOnMap = False

Check - If PlayersOnMap = True Then or If PlayersOnMap = False Then

[Doomy]

ahh i get it

[GIAKEN]

Most of the checks we do are If Byte = 1 Or Byte = 0...those need to be Boolean = True or Boolean = False.

There's a small downside, Booleans take more memory than Bytes. Not that much more, but it's still considered a down side. Speed over memory usage.

Takes two bytes, I believe.

Its such a minor difference (in speed, and memory) does it really matter?

[GIAKEN]

Yeah any loss is still a loss. If I lose 2$ instead of 1$...oh it's not that much of a loss, but still that's 50%...

You're looking at it like you're just fucking lazy. Any optimization is better, no matter 10 milliseconds faster or 1000 milliseconds faster is something that should be done.

Wouldn't that be a 100% loss?

[Pbcrazy]

no...
2$ = 100%
-1
1$ = 50%

aka: 1$ is 1/2 of 2$, and 50% is 1/2 of 100%

[Doomy]

but if your looking at it from the small point of view wouldnt it be 100% loss

[Matt]

Technically, losing $1 would be a 100% loss. Losing $2 would be a 200% loss.

Since those are the only variants involved.

[GIAKEN]

Who cares? The point is any optimization is good.

We have to take this thread off topic. It's the MS way. Quit trying to make us think like programmers, damnit!
