Hi Buuuudzik,

I think the iterate of the result table is taking a lot of resources, especially when having the execution of multiple scripts in parallel from the tag group

You could try to do it with a direct query from DB to avoid the table iterate and speed up things a bit.

Code:

function tag_or(tag)
 local result = db:getall('SELECT id FROM objects WHERE datahex = "01" AND tagcache LIKE "%' .. tag .. '%"')
 if #result == 0 then
   return false
 else
   return true
 end
end

You can also add this script in the start of your script to kill previous script when executed multiple times in parallel.

Code:

--check for earlier started scrips
storagename = 'TAG_OR' -- Must be unique for every script

--check storage for tpid value
tpid = storage.get(storagename)  

--check if tpid has a value
if tpid == nil then
  pid = os.getpid()
  storage.set(storagename, pid)
else
 pid = os.getpid()  
 -- create new pid for next time to kill
 storage.set(storagename, pid)
  -- kill earlier running script    
  os.kill(tpid, signal.SIGKILL)
end

If this doesn't do the trick you can use the semaphore library making it possible to block parallel execution of scripts

See http://openrb.com/docs/semaphore.htm or http://openrb.com/event-script-which-can...rotection/
