problem hud.size

[sabixão]

deleteClientHudTextElementbyName( hud_text_name )
{
if( isDefined( self.txt_hud ) && self.txt_hud.size > 0 )
{
for(i=0; i<self.txt_hud.size; i++ )
{
if( isDefined( self.txt_hud[i].name ) && self.txt_hud[i].name == hud_text_name )
{
self.txt_hud[i] destroy();
self.txt_hud[i].name = undefined;
}
}
}
}

the hud[i] is destroyed successfully but, the problem is that the self.txt_hud.size does not decrease and remains allocated in the memory of the server! :/
is there any way to reduce the self.txt_hud.size?

createClientHudTextElement( hud_text_name, x, y, xAlign, yAlign, horzAlign, vertAlign, foreground, sort, alpha, color_r, color_g, color_b, size, text )
{
if( !isDefined( self.txt_hud ) ) self.txt_hud = [];

self deleteHudTextElementbyName( hud_text_name );

count = self.txt_hud.size;

self.txt_hud[count] = newClientHudElem( self );
self.txt_hud[count].name = hud_text_name;
self.txt_hud[count].x = x;
self.txt_hud[count].y = y;
self.txt_hud[count].alignX = xAlign;
self.txt_hud[count].alignY = yAlign;
self.txt_hud[count].horzAlign = horzAlign;
self.txt_hud[count].vertAlign = vertAlign;
self.txt_hud[count].foreground = foreground;
self.txt_hud[count].sort = sort;
self.txt_hud[count].color = ( color_r, color_g, color_b );
self.txt_hud[count].hideWhenInMenu = true;
self.txt_hud[count].alpha = alpha;
self.txt_hud[count].fontScale = size;
self.txt_hud[count].font = "default";
self.txt_hud[count] setText( text );
}

self.txt_hud[i] destroy();
self.txt_hud[i].name = undefined;
you destroy the hud[i] here, hud[i] is now undefined and size is decreased
however you set hud[i].name afterwards to undefined, therefore hud[i] is now more or less defined
(since it holds the undefined membervariable name)


self.txt_hud[i] destroy(); should do the trick, there is no need to set it to undefined

That is my code. Please credit me for it.

That is my code he is using, and I have found through experience that you have to undefine self.txt_hud.name once you have removed the element.

Other than that, it works perfectly fine. There is no need to further reduce sizes.

yes , is a TallyMod function() this is a beautiful shot to reduce many code line , this hud.size allocated in the memory of a server with many huds
would not be a problem?

[RobsoN]

BTW Tally is hud.hideWhenInMenu = true; built-in engine function?

BTW Tally is hud.hideWhenInMenu = true; built-in engine function?

The code method he posted was from one of my COD4 mods. It doesn't work in COD2.

When all elements have been destroyed, and you use the method again, it resets the array:


if( !isDefined( self.txt_hud ) ) self.txt_hud = [];

So, no: it wont affect server memory.
