How do i make a town look likes its on fire!!??

I have been trying to make my opening town look as though its on fire but, when i set events all over the place and make the "show animation" it slows the game down way to much!  what can i do to make my town look like its on fire!

Get an antilag script, try hbgames.org.

Thanks!

Not a problem man, anytime.

K i went to that site looked for the anit lag script but i can download it!  the link just sends me to the register page which i already did!  help please!

oh and also.... how do a use a script! im new to the scripts!

Open up the script editor, and scroll down until you see the script labeled "main". Click on it, then press the up arrow, and then press the insert key. Click in the SMALL text field and type in antilag or whatever will help you remember what the script is, and then PASTE the script in the LARGE text field. That should do it!

This one was made by sandgolem, it should work.

Anything else?

To use script, check blue's sticky topic

Ok i dont know what im doing but its still not working. i do exactly what you said!  open up the script editor. go to the main one push up then insert! i pasted the whole thing you have on here and there is stupid errors when i try to play the game. then i got rid of the last "end" of the script and the game runs, but its still really laggy when i have a fire animation going in the background!! whats going on!  why does it lag!

You must probarly have a hellllll lot of events then XD

any ideas on what to do! i dont have that many running at the same time! probably only one at a time.!!!

Did you make a town out of alot of maps or just one big map? If it one big map, and it has loads of fire... Then It's the fire's fault. Too many events.

EDIT:

Here is a working version of the Anti-Lag script, the one Arrowone posted crashes.

Hmm...Good to know, I'll replace that script in my projects then.

HOWEVER: Be warned that this requires the SDK script, which is attached. SDK Must be posted ABOVE Main, but any other new scripts you attach must be inserted BELOW SDK.

Sorry Arrowone, that was my Crash, the SDK incompatibality. I am sorry, yours are fine =)

it makes events that you cant see do nothing btw.

IT STILL DOESNT MAKE ANY SENCE!!

It does if I explain it, all the fires have animations, which are all 101010101 (Binary) processes, your processor can't handle all those 1 and 0's at the same time, the Anti-Lag script pauses the 1 and 0's, so the processor won't have to do a thing with them, improving game performance. It's that simple.

If you really can't do it, PM me a link to your project, I'll fix it up for you.

You confused the poor thing...

Yeah, I think I did....
