What is better?

[MP®]

I have multiple triggered abilities which are partly the same... Is it better (for less lag, less cpu cost) to put as much as possible in 1 trigger, so it will be a few very big triggers, or just make many small triggers?

i'am not sure. but i heard that its bad to have too many triggers running from the same event. so the way i handle this is that i have one trigger that checks via conditions which actions actualy should be run

Even Unit Dies
----Conditions A then
--------Run Trigger With Actions A
----else
--------Conditions B then
------------Run Trigger With Actions B
--------endif
----endif

but don't take my word as a fact :/ like i said its just something i heard

Ok well that could be, but I think thats only when you don't have any main conditions to run the trigger..

But I want to know for sure..

More Events == More Work to do.

It is true that putting everything into a single trigger will make the game work slightly faster. But the editor will slow down when loading the triggers.
However, the gain is minimal since its just a little bit of overhead you would be getting rid of.
If you are really a performanceholic do it but better do it after your map is finished, working with such huge triggers is not easy and can lead to bugs more often.
