are single triggers usable in multiple instances at once?

[Inflicted]

that sounds kinda unclear, but i mean like can 1 trigger be used more than once during the same duration?

eg. with wait commands.

i do something like

Unit is attacked
wait 2.0 seconds
create 1 unit at position of attacking unit

now what if i moved and attacked another unit during that 2 seconds?

would it create the unit at the current position?
would it create 2 units, for 2 attacks? proving that it can run twice at the same time?
or would it wait till one has finished before the trigger restarts?

does anyone know how the order of the triggers works? i know there is trigger queues, but can a trigger be shown twice at once?

please give comment if you are sure of this. thanx

Triggers are MUI.

To add to what Jedi said, yes a trigger can run more than once, simultaneously. You will not have problems with them overlapping unless you are using global variables. There are of course solutions to this. That's why hashtables are so beautiful.

If a unit was attacked within those two seconds, only one would be created wouldnt it?

No, there won't be any problem.

There won't be any problem with the current example you've given. However, if you use waits, there are certainly times when it is not MUI (multiple unit instances).

Instant triggers are perfectly MUI though.

It is not a problem, user's fault.(except "Casting unit", that is Blizzard's fault )
