Pool game

[niCe]

Has anyone ever made a pool game for SA-MP? I've managed to create one, but in fact, I'm affraid it will lag server - it uses 20ms timer and counts 15+1 balls positions and vectors collisions - on first sight, there are no lags, but I don't really think this is good solution, however, I can't think of another one. If anyone has some experience, please let me know, I wanna compare someone's other pool game attempt. I wonder if using OnObjectMoved would load the server a bit less than that timer.

Just gotta say that it looks completely awesome!

i see just animation, right?

Depends on many things, how much bandwidth your server has, your server hardware specs. How many players are in your server, etc. Just try the script out and see if it causes any problems.

No, it's no scam, it's real

Yes, but generally, is it good idea to use 20ms timer? I also tried that callback OnObjectMoved but it handled just 6+1 balls, when I added 15+1, it simply "frozen" the server - maybe that callback has been called too much times and server wasn't able to handle that load.

Just wow 

Awesome.

Wow, really impressive. Good work.

Edit: After playing the server, all I can say is AWESOME.

Would be fun!

This is just awesome, the coolest thing i've ever seen on samp 

Some suggestions:
A 20 ms timer is a lot of work for the server. Let's say that a object is 16 byte (x+y+z+ID), in 1 second it is fired 50 times so it is a 800 byte load for every ball.
With 15+1 balls.... 12,8 kb/s for every player for the server.
It's a LOT!
So try to do this:
1)Update only the balls that need update (the ones that are moving)
2)I think that you can use a 50 ms timer
3)Let more the client move the objects, cause i think it can predict movements by itself

Awesome.

Release ?

You have allready showed us it on a previous post... are you gonna release it? or just keep saying you have done it? :\

Thanks everyone, I'm pleased you like it.

Well, the data is not being sent to every player, is it? If yes, then this is a problem... I didn't even thought of this matter, it's a good point though.
1. I just optimalised a script a bit to calculate only neccessary datas
2. I tried 50ms timer, it works fine, but it rarely happens one cue ball goes through another one. It is good solution for the server, anyway, the experience from that game is lower.
3. Please how you exactly mean client move? When a client will move an object, server may not get its position then, so if I understand well what you have written, it can't be done.

It seems there is no better solution than that timer though. I've tried OnObjectMoved, but looks like it's being called even more often, when I move objects to 0.2points distance and recalculate then collisions in that callback. I think callback would be better solution, but for unknown reason, it simply freezes the server when it has to calculate 15+1 balls (upon first turn naturally all 16 balls collisions are being processed). So I'm a way confused.
