Script performance testing - kalEd - 2021-03-08

How can I detect how fast a function is running using gettickcount??If anyone can give me an example, or if you know another method.

RE: Script performance testing - Radical - 2021-03-08

PHP Code:
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)

{

? ? new count = GetTickCount();

? ? //Rest of OnPlayerConnect

? ? printf("Time taken to execute OnPlayerConnect: %d", GetTickCount() - count);

? ? return 1;

}

You just get the tick count at the start of your code and at the end where it is supposed to stop.

Code:
new tickcountstart,tickcountend;

tickcountstart=GetTickCount();

printf("Start: %d",tickcountstart);

CreateDynamicObject(...);

CreateDynamicObject(...);

CreateDynamicObject(...);

CreateDynamicObject(...);

CreateDynamicObject(...);

tickcountend=GetTickCount();

printf("End: %d",tickcountend);

printf("Difference: %d - %d = %d",tickcountend, tickcountstart, tickcountend-tickcountstart);

You also may want to read this (and use y_profiling): https://github.com/pawn-lang/YSI-Includes/blob/5.x/YSI_Core/y_profiling/features.md

Using GetTickCount is not the right way to do this at all. It only tells you how long a single piece of code might take to run (and very very very inaccurately). It won't tell you which parts are actually slow, nor which parts are run a lot. You need the profiler plugin.
