[General] Does "Wait for condition" works properly?

[streetpunk]

the tittle says it all, does "wait for condition" works properly or is there a catch, a leak or something?

 

[WereElf]

Nope, it doesn't leak.
It's just a bit inaccurate

Though be said that it's not the cleanest way of coding. For most cases writing an other help code or trigger is the better opporunity.

Very inaccurate. It's just a loop with a wait in it.

function SomeAction takes nothing returns nothing
    loop
        exitwhen MyCondition
        call TriggerSleepAction(RMaxBJ(bj_WAIT_FOR_COND_MIN_INTERVAL, someInterval)) //RMaxBJ makes sure the interval isn't lower than 0.1
    endloop
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_MyTrigger takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_MahTrig = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_MahTrig, function SomeAction)
endfunction

//I changed the code a little bit, so you can actually read it

If you understand JASS, this is how it works. If you don't, this is a trigger that has a single action, the Wait for Condition action, where the condition is MyCondition, the interval is someInterval, MahTrig is your trigger name and SomeAction are your actions.

I prefer "Real = 'specific value'" to check for a specific event.

 

[streetpunk]

how does that "real" thing works ? and how can I overcome the need for "wait for condition" ? I'm using it in an projectile spell and I need to wait to create the projectile so it fits with the animation!

 

[Arad MNK]

Use timers. What Zunariel said is... Somehow not related.

It's useful for triggers when the accuracy isn't that important, like checking if some objective is accomplished for victory, for triggering ai or cinematics, but not for very accurate systems which also usually need to be MUI and so on. Certainly not suitable for projectile systems.
