[Solved] CPU usage

TBagT · **Author**

Hello,

I am using podbots to test my plugin, after setting that there would be 24 bots and the cpu usage becomes ~20% and then it just stabilizes between 4-6%, is this caused by podbots or the plugin ?
I also tested without any plugins it also goes to around 20% and then stabilizes to ~3% but faster than with the plugin.

Here's a profile from the plugin, I tried caching about every native call to use less of it. But maybe I missed something...

Code:

Bot logic is executed on the server, so yes, they do affect performance. The more bots you have, the more calculations have to be done each frame.
