Super Simple Anti-Lag Script (Very Fast!)

[Mr_Smith]

I used scrips made by Prexus. Is that poorly?

 

[Anonymous]

No idea. But scripts shouldn't lag, it's entirely possible to write almost anything without lag.

 

[Mr_Smith]

I found the problem: I watched Alastyr_six his cutscene to see how it works. It laggs also.... I think it's a problem with the program itself....

 

[lambchop]

Yes, if you have a lot of events on one screen, you're going to get lots of lag. I'm working on making simple events for my next game. If I figure out how to make them work, I'll post the fix here.

 

[darkyy]

ok this scrip really helped out i must say
500-500 sized map with everything filled with 3 layers and everything was filled with diffrent stuff from 14% down to 8% it really does help
Rajiu's edit is included in this test

EDIT ok now i have tested with 200 moving event people at highest moving frequenzy and higest speed and the utilization of the cpu then was 41 with anti lag it is reduced to 22 (this is with around 30 moving on screen
Rajiu's edit is included in this test

I must say it is really a good script

(I apologize in advance for the necropost :please

I'd like to use this because I have a big (750 x 400) map (worldmap) and instead of having to redo it and make it smaller maps, I am pretty sure that an anti-lag script would fix this.

However, I had one question if there is an event that is set to Parallel Process or Auto Run and it is off the screen will it still run? Or does it have to be within a certain range?

Thanks, and I apologize again but I didn't see any answers to this in the thread.

Im kindda curious.. what is the ideal FPS? the best possible FPS of a 80 x 80 map?

-This is because I cant seem to achieve an 50 or above FPS contrary to the topic title that claims FPS at 100 percent.. or my PC really sucks...

i.e: in my game I have a 50 x 80 map with 10 events with no parallel
events and the FPS falls around 25 - 40 FPS.

whats the average FPS that should be followed?

She didn't mean 100 FPS she meant 100 %
Someone told me normal FPS is 40-30ish, also someone else said that above 20 didn't mater cause the human eyes can only see 20 frames per second.

 

[mensahero]

if the normal is 30-40 FPS then my game is actually running at the ideal rate..
thanks for that bro..

 

[lambchop]

Yep, if you can get 40, that's the top as far as I know. If you're hitting 20, that's not so good...

 

[Ammom]

Well this just saved my game.

Awesome script, works wonders.

 

[ryujijitei]

Correction: The human eye can see at 60 frames per second. Anything above that is excess speed.

Great script, by the way. I'm sure it'll really come in handy for just about... anybody.

 

[tuti05]

This is great there's no more lag!!!!!

 

[someone1939]

Wow this really helps in those ice caves with the icy ground. And with big maps using Mr. Mo's ABS, too! Actually, it works well everywhere! Nice! :D

 

[Vanguard]

There's one problem that I've come across with this.

Its a great anti lag system, but if you have a big map and are scrolling to a far away point, distant events (that is, distant from wherever your hero is) won't show.

For some reason (not sure why), my old anti lag script didn't have a problem with this...

 

[bojox3m]

can i achieve the anti lag with this edit
even without the anti lag scripts?

and when lambchop says, "At the bottom of the Game_Map class, add the following method called in_range (def in_range). (Make sure to add this before the last end tag in the class)"

did lambchop mean like this?
