gc8 970 Posted July 23, 2018 Hi I just recently made script that places around 200 supply crates (with createvehicle) across the Altis island and the question I have is does it make the multiplayer lag to have so many crates? In singleplayer I didn't notice any lag but I wonder what is the case with MP, any one knows? What I could do is spawn and despawn the crates when player is near. This way only max 10 crates would be spawned in the mission at a time. But I do not know if this is necessary. thx! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thedubl 43 Posted July 23, 2018 200 eh. Maybe you might have lag during the spawning. You could spawn randomly placed triggers that fire when a certian side is near to spawn your crates. But I would check the server and your local rpt first. Dub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes a little time but I'm not worried about the spawn time, just the overall performance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prefere , if you haven't already to use when spawning objects CAN_COLLIDE as @phronk here , check: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 970 Posted July 23, 2018 @GEORGE FLOROS GR Isn't CAN_COLLIDE only useful when spawning and not after that? thx! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEORGE FLOROS GR 4206 Posted July 23, 2018 I like playing survival missions so, i always have a lot spawned objects in the map 3000 (thousand) , in an very old laptop that is working just at the minimum requirements and playing without a problem. But as i said before the whole thing is not that steady objects , but the moving units. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 970 Posted July 23, 2018 the crates are considered as vehicles since they are created with CreateVehicle command. I'd assume they wont take much bandwith as they are mostly static... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
