Yes, I know its huge and bloated, and probably leaks quite badly. I tried adding local variables to the top of it using the same names as the globals but nothing happened when I cast the spell :con:

The spell works excelent when only 1 unit casts it. Fell free to use the code if you help me out. :thumbs_up:

First as you said it will leak a lot... you made a lot of positions without variables, the special effects are without variables too (beside main one).
If it would be 1-2 whatever... like this I think it would make a game lag pretty badly if cast many times.

Now just for general knowledge, what the CACHE helps with ? never used that thing so dunno what it does.

And now atlast for your question, obivously this skill has some cast time untill it finishes so if you cast it in the middle with another unit it will surely bug the variables.
You would need to make harray's for variables to make it flawless I think (now that will be nice to see... a ~1500 lines of code :xxd:).

Cache is to replace the unit atfer its had Aloc a.k.a. Locust added to it. It seems to bug when you try to remove it so it was just easier to replace the whole unit from cache.

Actually I had to add more variables to get all the effects I needed ><
Heres a cleaned up version that applies for 1 unit only, i guess im going to need 1 trigger per player along with a bunch of variables. If anyone can spot any leaks left plz tell me!

Since it only has a .04 second cast time, it should be MUI right off the bat.
(Unless someone can cast it twice in .04 seconds)

I forgot to mention, TriggerSleepAction, can't wait less then a certain amount. I don't know exactly what that amount is, but its certainly larger then .01
I'm almost certain its least amount of wait time is around .1+
I would suggest using timers. Also the gamechace is notoriously slow.

We had a discussion of this in anouther thread, I think it came out to be around .125- to .1 depending on the demand on the processor, atleast on my machine.

I just tested 0.01, with this:
  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set int = 0
  • Untitled Trigger 002
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set int = (int + 1)
  • Untitled Trigger 003
    • Events
      • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(int))

And every time it was exacly int+100.
How do you explain that ?

Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I made a trigger like this:
  • Actions
    • For i = 1 TO 100 DO
      • Set integer = integer + 1
      • Wait 0,01 seconds
After 1 second I displayed the current value of integer, it was at 8. I did the same with 0,1; the value of integer was 5.
It's clearly not a "simple" function, considering the fact waiting 0,1 doesn't result in an integer value of 0 but in an integer value of 5. That's also why waiting 1 second probably results in actually waiting 1 second instead of 2.
Try to explain that to me with 0,27 wait times?

erm...

that would mean that 0,01 actually IS 0,01. Because if you add 0,01 every 0,01 seconds, after 0,27 seconds you would get a value of 0,27 if it actually updated 100 times per second.

EDIT: I tested your triggers in WE, and after 0,27 seconds, my real value is 0,03. If waiting 0,01 seconds is waiting 0,27 seconds in real time, my real value would've been 0,01 or 0,02, but NOT 0,03.

Besides, what the hell does it matter if you use a real of 0,01 or an integer of 1? the testing principle is just the same.

That 0.27 thing isn't true.
  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
      • Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 100, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set Real = (Real + 1.00)
          • Wait 0.01 seconds
      • Wait 2.00 seconds
      • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(Real))
End results: Real=100.

it DOES make a difference. even in a FOR loop. a FOR loop does iteration after iteration (until your integer becomes 100). If in 1 iteration you have a wait, it'll wait 0,01 seconds before it proceeds to the next iteration.

Ghostwolf, you need to wait 1 second instead of 2 seconds after the for loop, else it still can mean that waiting 0,01 "means" waiting 0,02.

Anyway, I'm very sure it's NOT 0,27. What the exact value (if it is a constant) is I don't know.
In the end, it doesn't really matter, as long as you keep in mind that waiting short intervals might have different results than you expect to see.

It's a FOR loop. No matter how long that wait is, it'll get to whatever the second number is then stop and display it.

Your logic makes no sense.

Your logic makes no sense either. You say that waiting 0,01 seconds actually is the same as waiting 0,27 seconds. As a proof you add 0,01 to real every 0,01 seconds and display your real value after 0,27 seconds. How the HELL can real be 0,27 if you only add 0,01 ONCE to real?

By the way, this is what I did:
I made 1 trigger displaying "real" after 1 second.
Then I made another that add 1 to integer every 0,01 seconds. Yet, it displayed 8 after 1 second. If waiting 0,01 seconds was equal to waiting 0,27 seconds, the displayed number should have been 3, not 8.

I'm right, you're wrong.

Because that's what the Wait thing does. You can't wait for less than 0.27 seconds. I know it's stupid, I know it may not make any sense. But that's how it goes.

Must I go and get PurplePoot or DSG to come here and prove it?

Actually, Wait works faster in Singleplayer mode than in multiplayer due to syncronization. What appears to be a 0.2 second wait in singleplayer may be as long as 0.5 seconds in multiplayer (+ or - depending on ping). Do not quote me with figgures, but fact is fact.

Howerver using game time wait (polled wait) tends to be more accurate as it uses a timer so it is recomended to do so even thoe it uses more resources to run.

There is no argument here, as others have done it before and all agreed with the above.

However pyritie, I disagree with your 0.27 thing as in multiplayer I have see wait running slower than when playing the same map (same timers and timmings) in single player.
