Bailopan's CSDM has been doing it since 2006. An excellent example of silly programming.

All I wanted to get here is a response from someone with a unix server capable of spending a couple of minutes to test a very small plugin. All I got was a bunch of useless obvious advices and theoretical conclusions. I guess I'll have to try my luck somewhere else.

P.S.

That was my first PM ever on this forum since 2009. I am sorry for being THAT annoying. Have a nice day.

Could you please show me where it spawns n entities in a row and at the same place, please?
EDIT: I did not see origin was the not the same in your code. It doesn't change fact that dealing with entity is expensive. You can probably confirm it depending properties (like if not rendered, and/or not linked to the world, this should reduce the load since it doesn't interact with others things)

Unless I've misunderstood you, you're posting in such section because you think the CPU load is because of AMXX. I've answered you, it's not. This is not a theoretical answer, it's a fact. I've already answered you that what does AMXX from your code is just calling directly engine (game) functions. Just wrappers. AMXX does nothing else, once called, it's about how the engine handles things from this side and obviously there is nothing we can do for that. Still, the CPU load makes sense anyway, if you don't want to understand engine does a lot of things when you play with entities, please keep away your stubbornness. Considering you seems to know what is right or not, why are posting there? The best way is to learn how engine works, and you can consider looking at the code yourself (you can find it on github), this way maybe you will trust your own eyes.

I receive each day such kind of messages, so from my perspective, it's really annoying. It's just another random pointless messages to bring my attention on something.

claudiuhks, didn't help. Still the same, though now it just randomly jumps between 13% to 18%.

Out of curiosity, I tested code on my shitty test server under linux (small VPS).

Just used 'stats' command.

Started to 2%, with empty server.

- With the entities, I jump to +3% , so ~5% constantly.
- When I enter in the game, it takes ~ +0.5/1%, so ~6% constantly.

This looks like expected results.

As I've said, depending what you're doing, this will eat CPU.
For example, if you set MOVETYPE_FLY property, you're asking engine to check for collision, which is an expensive operation, and the more entities you have, the more it will cost CPU.

- For fun, tried to not set this property in the code, and I'm now at ~3/3.5%. Just by removing this property.


I don't know well engine, but for context where you want items on the ground, there are likely way to optimize things.
To make them more static from engine perspective, that's it.

What is your CPU brand and model?

[Jhob94]

You could just use 1.8.3 and use cs_create_entity to create a weaponbox entity since as far as i can see you want to create a fake weapon entity but you want it to be like a real one, so just create a real weaponbox..

For amxx versions <183 I have posted a native in tutorials section. Just saying, in case he wants to use 1.8.2

Answer the next questions.

By the way, this is why I hate Linux as well. Haven't tried OS X yet.
