[General] Triggers and Abilities?

[Faestus]

I want to trigger multiple abilities. However I don't want to slow down the engine.

How is it better to make them?

1) Stack them all in one trigger, with a if/then/else, like this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to 1
  • Then - Actions
    • Do what you have to do
  • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Do what you have to do
      • Else - Actions
        • etc.

2) Stack them in same trigger, but not in one condition.

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to 1
  • Then - Actions
    • Do what you have to do
  • Else - Actions
    • Do Nothing
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to 2
  • Then - Actions
    • Do what you have to do
  • Else - Actions
    • Do Nothing

3) Make a separate trigger for every one of them.

Attach the trigger of the individual spell to its id and execute it from a single event. This would have the best complexity for mass spells. But no, the difference is marginal. Do not put them in a shared trigger as this would destroy readability and modularity.
