[JASS] Efficiency Question

[Preskooldude]

I would like to know whether the following system is efficient, and, if it isn't, how it could be improved:

We've got this triggered ball moving about, and need it to have certain actions that can be defined at the start of the level. When it hits something, it needs to execute a certain predetermined action. However, instead of hard-coding what actions happen when, we've decided to have it execute a trigger, and have that trigger be added and removed actions dynamically. This way, we can easily add and remove actions, and have the conditions coded as an if-else statement within the action.

Would this be efficient, or just a waste of time? If you need clarifications, let me know.

I say it's a good thing however to make sure..

When u say add and remove actions you mean turning a trigger of/ on that contains your actions right?
That would seem best to me.

It's fine, but if you're doing this you might as well use the vJass function interface syntax.

Ehhh? What's the function interface syntax?
And I mean TriggerAddAction and TriggerRemoveAction.

function interface testFunctionInterface takes integer i, real r returns nothing

function myFunction takes integer joe, real bob returns nothing
endfunction

function mySecondFunction takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

function test takes nothing returns nothing
    local testFunctionInterface fint = testFunctionInterface.myFunction //works
    local testFunctionInterface fint2 = testFunctionInterface.mySecondFunction //invalid

    call fint.execute(5,4.) //Threads, slower, can sleep, and does not return.
    call fint.evaluate(5,4.) //Does not thread, faster, cannot sleep, and returns.
endfunction
