MTA:Eir/functions/engineGetGamePoolLimits

This function returns a table of game resource allocation limits. In GTA:SA resources are allocated on statically-sized pools. Pool information returned may look like this:

{
    { name = "Buildings", usedCount = 1132, maxCount = 13000 },
    { name = "Peds", usedCount = 2, maxCount = 110 },
    { name = "Objects", usedCount = 44, maxCount = 800 },
    { name = "Dummies", usedCount = 2199, maxCount = 8000 },
    { name = "Vehicles", usedCount = 2, maxCount = 110 },
    { name = "ColModels", usedCount = 2268, maxCount = 20000 },
    { name = "Tasks", usedCount = 7, maxCount = 9000 },
    { name = "Events", usedCount = 0, maxCount = 5000 },
    { name = "TaskAllocators", usedCount = 2, maxCount = 800 },
    { name = "PedIntelligence", usedCount = 2, maxCount = 110 },
    { name = "PedAttractors", usedCount = 0, maxCount = 400 },
    { name = "EntryInfoNodes", usedCount = 104, maxCount = 10000 },
    { name = "NodeRoutes", usedCount = 181, maxCount = 8000 },
    { name = "PatrolRoutes", usedCount = 23, maxCount = 6000 },
    { name = "PointRoutes", usedCount = 273, maxCount = 7000 },
    { name = "PointerNodeDoubleLinks", usedCount = 48, maxCount = 20000 },
    { name = "PointerNodeSingleLinks", usedCount = 3379, maxCount = 20000 },
    { name = "EnvMapMaterials", usedCount = 61, maxCount = 5000 },
    { name = "EnvMapAtomics", usedCount = 98, maxCount = 5000 },
    { name = "SpecMapMaterials", usedCount = 56, maxCount = 5000 },
    { name = "COLSectors", usedCount = 81, maxCount = 256 },
    { name = "IPLSectors", usedCount = 76, maxCount = 255 }
}

When certain limits (such as the "PointerNodeSingleLinks") are reached within the engine, the game will crash. Hence retrieving pool information during testing is important.

Client

This snippet prints out the engine pool information to the client console.

addCommandHandler( "debug_pools",
    function()
        local poolInfo = engineGetGamePoolLimits();

        outputConsole( "-- GAME POOL INFO --" );

        for m,n in ipairs( poolInfo ) do
            outputConsole( n.name .. ": " .. n.usedCount .. " / " .. n.maxCount );
        end
    end
);
