arisaie Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) I am working on a script for my HUD, and finally figured out (I hope) how to use lists for storing data. Before that I was using a bunch of if statements [if (message == "" && string == "")] but that was using a lot of script memory (according to llGetUsedMemory()), so I thought..I cant use that. Well, I was done with the 3 main HUD options (COLOR, GLOW, LENGTH, using around 30 000 bytes of script memory) and I figured out how to save the data so the options can be clicked interchargeably - showing and hiding faces (length), applying glow only on shown faces, hiding glow on hidden faces. But then I got to the 4th option (DISPLAY - displaying and hiding a pair of 5 pairs total) and again I am going to run out of script memory if I continue. I included the integers and strings I am not using and the notes I have to keep track of some statements. At first I wanted to use the llList2CSV for descriptions (Lengths- short , medium, long) list descS = ["1", "2", "3"] but integer iDescriptionS = llList2Integer(desclist,1) and index 2 were returning 0 so I kind of bypassed it with the lists and integers and strings (just below listen event) and it worked it seems. I dont know why the llList2CSV works with the floats for the DISPLAY . As you can see in the COLOR (White and red only) section, I used the DISPLAY floats for alpha in PRIM_COLOR, to keep track of which pair is shown or hidden (Pairs LINK 2-3, 4-5,....10-11, LINK 1 is the ROOT PRIM). Without this, if I hid a pair and changed the color, it would become visible. But this additional 9 rows of PRIM_LINK_TARGET adds around 1 000B of memory per color (at least according to llGetUSedMemory()). I would have to add similar lines to keep track of which pair is shown or hidden to GLOW and LENGTH too (otherwise they all get shown when click in the HUD). Is there any way how to fix this, or am I worrying about nothing? The only way I could bypass it, is to make do with it and just letting the user SHOW or HIDE the pair last after setting the previous options... or making a button to delete the script after using the HUD and being satisfied with the settings(which I propably will do anyway) I hope I am making sense and this question is not very demanding and the answer too complex for wonderful help that is provided here...I am learning as I go. If it's above the help provided here (justified) I guess I'll have to look for an experienced scripter. I just like to figure out things myself and learn. I included the picture of my HUD layout.

primerib1 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hoo boy, lots of things to discuss here. First things first: Why do you create so many variables? Each variable consume valuable heap space Combine similar literal lists into one, varying only as needed through a variable or through list concatenation/appending Assign directly to variables using typecasts, don't go through a list. Use return results directly inside a function call if possible. For example: list descriptionS = ["1"]; string stringDescriptionS = llList2String(descriptionS, 0); integer iDescriptionS = llList2Integer(descriptionS, 0); Why? Do direct assignment like this: string stringDescriptionS = "1"; integer iDescriptionS = (integer)stringDescriptionS; If one form is used many times while the other is used only once or twice, consider storing onlly the type commonly used, and use typecasting when a different type is needed. Next the multiple lists that all differ on the color value. Why do you have to create several literal lists like that? Based on selection, you assign a value to a variable, and build the literal list only once: //WHITE-------------------------------- if (message == "KWColWhite") { vector KWCol = <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>; } //RED--------------------------------------------------------------------- if (message == "KWColRed") { vector KWCol = <1.0, 0.0, 0.498>; } // --- many snipped --- if (llGetSubString(message, 0, 4) == "KWCol") { llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(2, [PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, KWCol, SH23, // MAIN FACE PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 3, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, KWCol, SH23, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 4, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, KWCol, SH45, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 5, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, KWCol, SH45, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 6, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, KWCol, SH67, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 7, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, KWCol, SH67, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 8, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, KWCol, SH89, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 9, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, KWCol, SH89, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 10, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, KWCol, SH1011, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 11, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, KWCol, SH1011, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_SET, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength2, KWCol, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_SET, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength3, KWCol, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_SET, PRIM_COLOR, 0, KWCol, 0.0, //BASE COLOR PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_SET, PRIM_GLOW, 0, 0.0, //BASE GLOW PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 1, PRIM_COLOR, ALL_SIDES, KWCol, 0.0,//ROOT COLOR PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 1, PRIM_GLOW, 0, 0.0]); //ROOT GLOW llSetTimerEvent(0); } Every literal list you define in the code, consumes space. You created lots of literal lists. Similarly for the branches handling "KWDisplayShowN"/"KWDisplayHideN": Roll them into one like this: if (llGetSubString(message, 0, 8) == "KWDisplay") { integer which = (integer)llGetSubString(message, -1, -1); integer link1; integer link2; float link_glow; string link_desc; if (llGetSubString(message, 9, 12) == "Hide") { link_glow = 0.0; link_desc = sHidden; } else { // "Show" link_glow = glow; link_desc = sShown; } if (which == 1) { link1 = 2; link2 = 3; } if (which == 2) { link1 = 4; link2 = 5; } // // -- and so on until which == 5 -- // llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(2, [PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, color, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, link1, PRIM_GLOW, iIsLength1, link_glow, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, link2, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, color, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, link2, PRIM_GLOW, iIsLength1, link_glow, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, link2, PRIM_DESC, link_desc]); } Again, you end up with just one literal list. Saving a LOT of memory compared to previously when you created 10 (ten!) literal lists. For the "KWLen" part, you can also do the same: if (llGetSubString(message, 0, 4) == "KWLen") { string lenword = llGetSubString(message, 5, -1); string desc1; string desc2; string desc3; if (lenword == "Short") { desc1 = stringDescriptionS; desc2 = stringDescriptionM; desc3 = stringDescriptionL; } if (lenword == "Medium") { desc1 = stringDescriptionM; desc2 = stringDescriptionS; desc3 = stringDescriptionL; } if (lenword == "Long") { desc1 = stringDescriptionL; desc2 = stringDescriptionS; desc3 = stringDescriptionM; } llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(4, [PRIM_DESC, desc1, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 6, PRIM_DESC, desc2, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 8, PRIM_DESC, desc3]); llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_SET, [PRIM_COLOR, 0, color, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_SET, PRIM_COLOR, desc1, color, 1.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_SET, PRIM_COLOR, desc2, color, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_SET, PRIM_COLOR, desc2, color, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_SET, PRIM_GLOW, desc1, glow, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_SET, PRIM_GLOW, desc2, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_SET, PRIM_GLOW, desc3, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 1, PRIM_COLOR, ALL_SIDES, color, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 1, PRIM_GLOW, ALL_SIDES, 0.0]); } Again, just 2 literal lists, where before you created 6 literal lists. I'm sure there are other optimizations, but start from here. As I see it, the literal lists are the things that consume a lot of your script memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix Eldritch Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 You have a lot of extraneous PRIM_LINK_TARGET's in there that you could probably cull. Whenever you specify a link target, all params that follow will continue to target that same preceding PRIM_LINK_TARGET until a new one is specified. For example, this: llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(2, [PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, color, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 2, PRIM_GLOW, iIsLength1, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 3, PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, color, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 3, PRIM_GLOW, iIsLength1, 0.0, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 3, PRIM_DESC, sHidden]); Can be written as this: (indentation added for clarity) llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(2, [ //initially targeting link 2 PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, color, 0.0, //link 2 PRIM_GLOW, iIsLength1, 0.0, //link 2 PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 3, //now targeting link 3 PRIM_COLOR, iIsLength1, color, 0.0, //link 3 PRIM_GLOW, iIsLength1, 0.0, //link 3 PRIM_DESC, sHidden //link 3 ]); 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfie Reanimator Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) A small note about the short/medium/long options, AKA stringDescriptionS/iDescriptionS: Since stringDescriptionS seems to be intended as a link number, the code can be changed to make more sense semantically. Remove stringDescriptionS/M/L completely. Keep iDescriptionS (and maybe rename it to something more specific like iShortLinknum). While setting PRIM_DESC, use (string)iDescriptionS (or (string)iShortLinknum) as the value. This is a more meaningful way to do what you intend. 17 hours ago, arisaie said: At first I wanted to use the llList2CSV for descriptions (Lengths- short , medium, long) list descS = ["1", "2", "3"] but integer iDescriptionS = llList2Integer(desclist,1) and index 2 were returning 0 so I kind of bypassed it Do I understand correctly that you used llList2CSV(descS) for PRIM_DESC, and later got the description from a link, then tried to use llList2Integer before you separated with llCSV2List?

Without your examples I dont think I would be able to figure it out. I certainly learned new things. I did the GLOW the same way and all selections can be selected interchargeably. Even the script memory dropped by 10 000 bytes. Thanks a lot!

Even the script memory dropped by 10 000 bytes. Thanks a lot! Glad to help! I'll be happy to suggest other optimizations, though likely not as massive as the list consolidation tip I gave. Lists are the worst offenders in term of memory usage. Try to keep them in the stack where they will be cleaned up before every function call; keeping them in heap space means you're dependent on when the Garbage Collector gets triggered, and before the GC does its magic, you may still run out of space in heap. As a rule of thumb, everything on the right side of an assignment operator, and/or everything within the parameter list of a function call, are kept in stack. The assignment operator copies the result of the right side into the heap. (Some have suggested calling llSleep(0.01); to trigger GC. It _will_ add a (very slight) pause to your script, but might be worth it to be called at strategic places.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I was wondering and meant to ask what exactly adds to the memory and increases it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 If your script doesn't use a lot of memory, you never have to worry about the garbage collector. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
