Calling Actions inside Condition.

[chopinski]

Hello Hivers, recently i saw in a post that its better to do:

scope Test initializer Init

private function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    Do Something...
endfunction

private function Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if Some_Condition_Check then
        call Actions()
    endif
    return false
endfunction
//===========================================================================
private function Init takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Test = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterVariableEvent( gg_trg_Test, "udg_AnyVariable", EQUAL, 1.00 )
    call TriggerAddCondition(gg_trg_Test, Condition( function Conditions ))
endfunction

endscope

Then

scope Test initializer Init

private function Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return Some_Condition_Check == true
endfunction

private function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    Do Something...
endfunction
//===========================================================================
private function Init takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Test = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterVariableEvent( gg_trg_Test, "udg_AnyVariable", EQUAL, 1.00 )
    call TriggerAddCondition(gg_trg_Test, Condition( function Conditions ))
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Test, function Actions )
endfunction

endscope

because trigger actions create threads and trigger conditions do not. I dont quite understand the concept. What are the pros and cons of each method? Will it impact performance? Will it break MUIness?

This might give you some insight ConditionalTriggerExecute vs TriggerEvaluate

Oh wow, so as far as i understood, doing the first is 25% faster. Damn that's a lot. Thx for answer.
