Loop Limits
 
HTML Code:
function onCreated()
{
  for (temp.npc: findAreaNPCs(0, 0, 64, 64))
  {
    if (temp.npc.isInClass("testobject"))
    {
      temp.npc.destroy();
    }
  }
 
  for (temp.i = 0; temp.i < 100; temp.i++)
  {
    putNPC2(32, 32, "join testobject");
  }
 
  this.loops = 0;
  for (temp.i = 0; temp.i < 100; temp.i++)
  {
    this.loops++;
   
    temp.npcs = findAreaNPCs(0, 0, 64, 64);
   
    for (temp.npc: temp.npcs)
    {
      this.loops++;
    }
  }
}
This code generates a loop limit exceeded error. Yes, I know why - this.loops ends up over 10000.

Can it be changed so that a loop counter of "for (object: objectlist)" loop has less impact on the limit? Or it only starts counting if the list is modified inside the loop?

I'm trying to do something similar to the code above (related to checking for NPCs nearby, etc) but it dies out due to the loop limit.

It's a little bit complicated, it checks how often a code is executed, not in what kind of loop it is contained. I would say it would be better to optimize the code, but if you can show me a realistic example where the loop limit need to be changed then we can probably add something (loop limit per npc ?)

Well, I'm trying to write an NPC that creates many NPCs but checks what NPCs are already there... the more NPCs that are around the more quickly the loop limit gets hit.

Why exactly are you checking what npcs are already there?

If it checks how often the code is executed, then wouldn't more optimized code trigger it more often than non-optimized code?

Optimizing your script means doing less operations to achieve the same goal :)

But less operations = less time it takes to do them = code gets executed quickly, thus triggering the loop limit?

x-x less operations = less operations

The amount of operations within a loop has nothing to do with the loop limits.

Fighting with Stefan is never good.

What if you add to a level variable when an NPC is created, then subtract from it when it gets destroyed? Less operations. :O

What does that have to do with loop limits?

Stefan's telling you to optimize it, so the loop limit isn't a problem. :O
DUH!

What you suggested me to do solves nothing in that regard.
