SCA: How to set buffer size

[Chromowolf]

Is there a guide about what is / how to set the buffer size?
My map has over 20 SCA variables, but the buffer size is 300 (default). I don't know whether this is proper. What consequence can be caused by improper buffer size settings?

[Buizz]

Usually, one variable consumes 4 bytes. If it consumes the maximum, it consumes 8 bytes.
There's nothing wrong with having a large buffer, so you can just leave it as it is.

If the variable exceeds the size of the buffer, an overflow can occur and interrupt the trigger flow of the map.

For example, I got 2 SCA variables, (1 variable and 1 array):

const x = PVariable();  // 1 variable
const y = EUDArray(40);  // Array of length 5

How many variables is this equivalent to? 6, or 48?
How many bytes does it consume? 4x6=24 bytes, or 4x48=192 bytes?

[Buizz]

x is 1
y is 40/8 = 5
So 6 is correct.

min 6 X 4=24 ~ max 6 X 8=48

However, it is good enough to leave it around 100.
The buffer size has almost no effect on the actual map capacity. Because this size is compressed.

I see. thx!

Is it possible to add a new feature: let EE3 automatically detect the number of SCA variables and calculate the buffer size needed?

[Buizz]

To do that, we need a parser that can keep track of the length of the array.

Maybe use regular expression? May not be hard to do :P
