I know that using local variables makes things MUI but when I use there waits it dosn' t create problems ? I just want to know it for sure.

EDIT: Oh... brake should be break >.>
 
The MUI-ness will only be broken if you use very long waits, such as 20+ seconds, with lots of players and their units that constantly fire the trigger in between that time.

And remember that local variables are usually good for being able to handle 7 instances of that variable being set inside their function.

Low duration wait would just lower the chances of failure it won't make a non-MUI spell any more MUI than what it is .

Use locals and be smart when coding, some guys actually think that locals are the only thing needed for a MUI spell, that's so wrong.

Could you make a bit more clear what are those other things, because I am one of those guys? :p

What that means ? When I use waits in functions (The small ones 0.20 sec) then it' s ok ?
 
local variables have nothing to do with the locals of the other instances of the same function.

A computer program or routine is described as reentrant if it can be safely called recursively or from multiple processes. To be reentrant, a function must hold no static data, must not return a pointer to static data, must work only on the data provided to it by the caller, and must not call non-reentrant functions.

end of story, locals are used in only THAT RUN OF THE FUNCTION

regardless of how many times it is run after during the waits

Could you make a bit more clear what are those other things, because I am one of those guys?

its situational

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
