Looking Glass Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Hi, Created Scenery Destruction in a normal trigger zone (both circular/quad) over Aleppo, Syria. Caused continuos crashing and wont load mission. When trigger removed, mission works fine. Now testing further. Ta Edited August 11, 2021 by steviebeats
Looking Glass Posted August 11, 2021 Author Posted August 11, 2021 Yeah, Scenery Destruction is causing chaos in Syria (Aleppo). Even with smaller zones. Maybe its just too FPS heavy in that populated area? Mission wont even load in many circumstances.
nighteyes2017 Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 out of interest. did you test with quad zones or circle zones? in another topic i have a problem with quad zones. so if you used quad zones and it crashes, try circle zones. If that works, maybe the quad zones have a bigger problem.

Grimes Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 Last I recall several of the actions in zone don't work with quad zones. By don't work I mean they aren't doing a point in polygon check, rather it still thinks it is a circle. It uses the center point and whatever the furthest point from that as the radius. Odd shaped zones can cover a much larger area than what you think it would. Aleppo as a whole has well over 100,000 buildings. More if you count trees, walls, and a lot of other stuff that isn't returned via the scripting engine. Detecting everything is quite quick, but changing it to a destroyed state is the slow part and it has always been slow over large areas like that. With a 8km radius around Aleppo it took my PC a good 4 minutes to execute that trigger. 1 The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.
