Would add/subbing 1000's, 10000's or 100000's of deaths in an action create any/anynoticable lag?

Thanks

Why don't you test it on a map.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

Buffer overflow comes from nonstandard units (unitID 3849). Any of the normal units are fine, and can't go higher than that huge number (see map limits). It can't go lower than 0 by subtraction either.

Modifying dcs doesn't create lag.

How high can a death counter be before reaching into buffer overflow?
And would add/subbing 1000's, 10000's or 100000's of deaths in an action create any/anynoticable lag?

Thanks

Do you mean using extended deaths? Or the max number a death counter can store? It is either 4294967295 or 2147483648 (depending on wheter it is a signed value or not).

Also subtracting/adding any value takes the same time.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
