Huge Lag when instantiate AI in runtime

[anarkitoParticipant]

We are experimenting a huge lag every time we try to intantiate any AI in runtime.

Unity version (5.1.3f1)
NodeCanvas version 2.5.6

Hope you can help us.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

When a gameobject with a graph is instantiated, there is bound to be some slow down due to initialization, but maybe you are experience more than it should. Does this happen for you with any graph, or just a specific one?

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay.

The problem happens with specific one. We try to use a generic FSM for all our enemies just changing the BTs that are inside the fsm.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Could you please post a screenshot of that FSM to check it out?
Also, it’s generally much better to pre-instantiate your AI and use them when needed if possible (enable/disable), instead of instantiating them on the fly while player is playing, since unfortunately, instantiation and thus initialization will always create a bit of overhead the more complex the graphs are due to deserialization.
Thanks.

Hi there, we just update to new version of node and now that huge lag have been decrease a lot.

We still experiment a bit of lag. But we are going to check it out to see if we can improve the performce of our FSM.

I will post if we can fix it or we still need help.

Again thank you very much.

Hey,
Thanks for letting me know. There were some improvements up from the previous version 2.5.6 you were using before.
Of course, if you need any further help or have any potential fixed, please let me know.
Thanks!
