How to Wait for a very very short time

[RobertMKD]

Wait obviously isn't accurate, waiting 0.1 second and waiting 0.01 seconds is literally the same. How do I wait 0.01 seconds without using a timer? Cause my trigger won't work with a timer..

Post it.

Timers always work correctly if used correctly.

Custom Script "call TriggerSleepAction(0.01)"

There is no way without timer, it is a limitation of waits.Convert your trigger such a way that it works with timer.

Well, if I use a timer, how do I detect when it expires in the very same trigger I create it? I need this Wait for actions that execute more times.. (the "For Each Integer A" action)

Custom Script "call TriggerSleepAction(0.01)"

Isn't it just the same as the GUI 'Wait'?

There is no way to do that. TriggerSleepAction is limited at 0.1 seconds best case (single player, more if multiplayer).

You cannot. You need to either use the timer callback or a trigger that runs when it expires. You then need to instance the local state so that it follows the timer around as it expires. I forget the programming term for this sort of pattern but there is one I am sure.

A real pain it is, but that is the only way to do it.

Yes it is the same as a GUI Wait. Wait game time also uses it but in a leaky way that is more accurate for long timeouts.

So, how do people move a unit so fast that you cannot even notice? I'm talking about Move Unit (Instantly)

 

[Ceday]

Lets say you want to move your unit 600 range forward.

• Trigger 1
• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • Ability being cast is blablabla
• Actions
  • Set MovingUnit = Triggering Unit
  • Set MoveCount = 40
  • Trigger - Turn on Trigger2

Trigger 2 is initially off.

• Trigger 2
• Events
  • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of the game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Move MovingUnit instantly 15 range forward
  • Set MoveCount = MoveCount - 1
  • If (MoveCount equal to 0)
    • Trigger - turn off this trigger
  • else

The idea is basicly this.

So the Periodic event is accurate? Nice to know, thanks..

Periodic, and one shot evets run on timers, not on waits, so they are as accurate as timers(very)
