@systemparadox I have one flag per creep (marking target location and the like) which is about 15 in total.

I noticed all Flag functions take that time.. even setColor and setPosition because they infact remove the old flag and create a new one

I guess that explains matters..

Hello fellow Screepers,

I recently started profiling and noticed that the createFlag functions have a lot overhead beyond the fixed 0.2 cost. I create unique named Flags btw..

From screeps-profiler output:

calls		time		avg		function
25		11.1		0.443		RoomPosition.createFlag
25		10.7		0.426		Room.createFlag 

I know 0.443 does not mean the world but is suprising for such a simple function though. Does anybody care to confirm/explain ?

@K-C: My proposal: id depends on most recent selection event, regardless of the instance.

Keep in mind this is supposed to be a debug feature, we can live with a few flaws I think. Visuals aren't perfect either, but are still great.

Hi gentlemen,

A nice debugging feature would be to provide the object id of the object that the user currently has selected in gui. Example: Game.getSelectedObjectId
One could log details, show extra visuals, etc with this information.
