Many Questions Most of them good

Now. Unlearn that bad habit you just learned.

Use (Entering unit), not (Triggering unit). It's just a cleaner way to do things. Of course, (Entering unit) only works when something is entering a region... you'd use another appropriate one for other events.

REP FOR YOU!

Long has it been going on, this war between me and the evil of "Triggering Unit", constantly corrupting newbs toward using it in all the wrong places...

People. Hear me, and repent your sins!

If you want a trigger to go off when a UNIT ENTERS a region, you use ENTERING UNIT.

If you want a trigger to go off when a UNIT CASTS an ability, you use CASTING UNIT.

Common sense, folks. Buy it.

That sounds like good advice, except that it makes no difference.

Yes it does. I've tried it before. If you use only one trigger in the entire game and use Triggering unit, then there's a good chance that it won't matter. However, if you have a lot of triggers with multiple actions and such, yes, it DOES make a difference.

Please know what you're talking about before you call someone wrong

I'm awfully sorry. I was just referring to the two examples you gave, both of which could be changed to Triggering unit and still work fine. As is the case with the vast majority of similar examples.
