Discussion Efficiency : On Damage Effects

[13lade619]

efficiency wise, what's the best way to do this:

using Jesus4Lyf's Damage to register a damaged unit event.

call Damage_RegisterEvent(Trigger)

is it more efficient to have only one trigger registered to inflict on damage effects using functions?

ie

function Trig_Show_Damages_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call OrbEffect1(Damager, damaged)
    call OrbEffect2(Damager, damaged)
    call OrbEffect3(Damager, damaged)
    call OrbEffect4(Damager, damaged)
    call OrbEffect5(Damager, damaged)
    call OrbEffect6(Damager, damaged)
endfunction

function InitTrig_DamageType takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_DamageType = CreateTrigger(  )
    call Damage_RegisterEvent(gg_trg_DamageType)
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_DamageType, function Trig_Show_Damages_Actions )
endfunction

or have multiple full triggers (new event, condition action) registered?

ie

call Damage_RegisterEvent(gg_trg_Orb1)
call Damage_RegisterEvent(gg_trg_Orb2)
call Damage_RegisterEvent(gg_trg_Orb3)
call Damage_RegisterEvent(gg_trg_Orb4)

The first should be faster. Less triggers being executed.

 

[13lade619]

even if those functions have if-then inside of them?

like

function Orb1 takes unit Damager, unit Damaged returns nothing
    if GetUnitAbilityLevel(caster,'A000') > 0 then
        //act
    endif
endfunction

 

[Azlier]

Why not?

 

[13lade619]

ok.. i have another problem..

how do i make sure that the functions are always above the trigger?..

*avoiding writing all of them on the same 'trigger'/scope.

Elementary!

This is why libraries exist, good sir.
