What Wick Editor Version are you using?
I’m using 1.19.3

Describe the Problem
So, i was following @Jovanny 's tutorial on how to make a friday night funkin game.
It’s all good but when you miss the notes just go and never stop, and, if there are a lot of clones, the game starts to lag.

What have you tried so far?
I’ve tried to add a limit to the arrows so when they touch it they remove itself (this.remove()) but it just brings this error:

“Error: Cannot read property ‘hitTestOptions’ of null on line 58020 in script update”

#2

Please, post the project so I can support you on that. (if you want…)

#3

My guess is that the original copy got deleted, so a hitTest function where the original copy is being referred to threw an error (?).

Try using this code instead:

if(this.isClone){ // checks to see if the object is a clone
this.remove();   // Remove this object
}

It is related to the classes… the ArrowManager has an Arrow array. Every element of that array is not a clip, it is an Object from the custom Arrow class that I made. Those Arrow objects contains an arrow clip… you can’t just remove the clips without removing the Arrow Object from the Arrow array… If you do that, then the ArrowManager will not know and it will try to call that clip…

The solution is to remove that element of the array when the clip y position reaches negative something…

why not making an line that is the same color as the background than use hit code

#6

Hey @Youyou @Hamzah_Alani @Jovanny

Thank you all for your help!

I wasn’t able to reduce all of the lag but reduced it a lot by removing arrows that were already invisible.

Add these lines to your code, and it should be good to go in terms of performance…

can you copy and paste

#13

Nope, never… I will always want people to write it by themselves, so they can process it in their brain.

Algo que noté @Steven es que las flechas van muy rápido… debes bajarle la intensidad… Otra cosa… los cuadros de las flechas estan muy grandes, debes ponerlas mas pequeñas, pero en resumen, buen trabajo! Si añades las 7 lineas de código que te puse en la foto, el lag debe desaparecer, al menos que tengas un Computadora con pocos recursos. Saludos.

Something that I noticed is that the arrows go too fast… you should lower their intensity… Another thing, The rectangles are too big, you should decrease their size, but summarizing, good job! If you add those code lines, the lag should disappear. Greetings.

can you explain whats going on here?

#17

Gracias!

Si ayudo!

Y tambien, me gusta que vayan rapido, es mas complicado asi!

Y tambien pensaba cambiar el diseño de las flechas, lo hare en algun momento.

Y, con esas lineas de codigo si funciona, ahora desaparecen una vez se van de la pantalla.

Y tambien, ahi hay una falta de ortografia, es “desaparecer”

Bueno, muchas gracias por tu ayuda!
