[SOLVED] Artifical lag/slowing the game speed
I want to have a sequence in a cutscene right before the cinematic ends (which will also end the map) where the map slows down, for added drama. Is this possible? I have read that it's possible to create artificial lag. Is this possible in single-player?

If you're doing single player, couldn't you spam the "Pause Game" and "Unpause Game" actions?
You can create lag on units by moving units onto them via triggers (air units and burrowed units work best for this effect). You can lag the game by spamming the "Move Unit" action on a large number of units to an invalid location (which won't actually move the units) and other costly actions.
Finally, if you want to resort to EUD Actions, you can change the game speed using this address.

For EUD, which address is the Game Speed one? I can't find it.
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

I think spamming pause/unpause is a good idea (incl. hypers) if it is only Single Player.
If you don't absolutely need to use EUD, then don't.

Wait, how the hell does the unpause trigger run if the game is paused?

Triggered Pauses and Multiplayer/Menu pauses are quite different
IIRC, Triggered pauses only run until the end of the trigger in which it was initiated, so the game only stays paused for the duration of any waits/transmissions within that trigger, AFAIK the unpause action isn't neccesary (at least in patch 1.16.1)

PAUSE GAME
This action will put the game in a pause state. If a matching Unpause Game is not found, the program automatically unpauses the game when the current trigger is finished. Note that pause game has no effect in multiplayer scenarios or against computer controlled players.

I'm trying to lower overall game speed. Since EUDs are a pain in the rear end, I'll probably end up using pause/unpause.

RoyActually, the quoted suggestion isn't lagging the game itself, but slows the movement of the affected units. I guess I could have phrased that differently: basically, it's the result of constantly moving or creating a unit on top on another unit.

NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: NudeRaider I suppose that's one justification for pushing it to 1.00. I'm still messing with some novel concepts, I completely revamped the Shadowcraft hero in v0.18 and there's some kinks to work out with some of the other changes I made, but I suppose that doesn't mean I can't call the currently version 1.XX
indeed

NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: Imp UV3 is actually in the works with some major changes, but it's been slow going. I'd like to have a version of Imp UV for every tileset at one point.. hopefully it doesn't take until 2030
prediction: It will.

NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: NudeRaider Oh definitely fully playable. I used the first map as the shell, so it was basically complete from the first release. I've made some tweaks and improvements here and there based on nuances between the maps, like UV2 has more air units so certain ground-focused heroes like Psycho and Shadowcraft have needed some buffing. Other improvements have been little bug fixes or ways of stopping cheese strategies (like the bosses now spawn in a random location instead of at their lair so players can't just camp them with nukes. UV2 is definitely harder despite only being 4 levels + boss fight instead of 5. I'd say it's definitely worth a go, there's some unique mechanics that make each of the levels have kind of their own interesting spin
