Another trigger question..

[laxperson808]

the fastest a wait can wait that ive seen is somewhere around .01? i think. Even with call TriggerSleepAction ( X ) it wont go any faster. Is there a way to get a faster timer? that goes by mabye.. .001? or .0001?

Try this

• Wait (0.01/100000000.00) seconds

 

[laxperson808]

nope.. in the end all it does is make the wait = X and the max wait time i geuss is like .01 or .1 ... any other ideas?

Regular waits are somewhere around .27 seconds, depending on your comp's performance. Use a timer instead, or even a trigger with periodic events.

• Events
  • Time - Every .01 seconds of game time

(Handwritten)

Of course, it can't go a lot under 0.01, but 0.01 is already too low for good performance... it would cause lag in multiplayer games, most likely. .001 would be excessive. If you want WC3 to crash, use an infinite loop, instead. ; )

.01 seconds still occurs 100 times a second. You most definitely do not need something to happen more than 100 times a second. Even 100 times a second is wayyy too much. I usually use .04 or .03 for verrry fast events, such as moving a unit every "frame".

function TimerFunc takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
//same timer as in the other function
endfunction

function Trigger_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = CreateTimer()
    call TimerStart(t,.03,true,function TimerFunc)
//starts the timer as a repeating(true) timer that will execute TimerFunc in .03 seconds
endfunction

yea thanks.. i thought of that but i wasn't sure.. k heres another question..
I have a spell that runs through 100% fine and at the end resets ALL varibles needed for it to there start value.. when i cast the spell again it doesnt work..
here are the triggers..

ok i figured it out and now im quit frankly.. a retard..
