[Spell] need info on the wait trigger

[paleto123]

i've been doing some basic map triggers, and my friends says i shouldn't put wait triggers in them. especially if its more for multiplayers over lan or battle.net. if i cant, then is there a better way to replace the wait trigger? i know this isnt the first time a person asked, so if there is a lnik to somewhere like a tutorial that be good.
the search if kinda flooded if i type in "wait"

Use timer instead. . U should learn something about MUI. It's really easy.
Here is some tutorials in this forums that may help u:

Basically:
1) timers
2) a looping game time event with custom built-in periodic values.

Waits are asynchronous

many thanks, will try

reasons why wait or TriggerSleepAction() are not recommended are because they're not synchronous, which even if one player lags it will continue.

I recommend the method the other two mention, Timers are far better than Waits and it's more secure.

u can look at my tutorial things a guier should know this has a chapter on waits and a chapter on making things MUI. the MUI chapter is called how to index the other one is waits.

wait trigger doesn't wait when game is paused..
and when you cast a triggered spell with wait in it.. with two units, the second unit who cast after the first unit will replace the first unit..
ex:
1. you cast shockwave with first unit
you cast shockwave with second unit
everything is fine, it's called MUI

2. you cast shockwave with first unit it's fine as usual
you cast shockwave with second unit then BANG!
the first unit's shockwave will either keep moving or stop moving
but the second unit's shockwave is fine as usual.. it's called non-MUI (i don't know the name either xD)

how to solve this:
1. use timer
2. use periodic timer / loop

i hope it's help

Waits do not make things non MUI look at my tutorial to see some examples of MUI triggers w waits.

MUI means multi unit instancable. That means that u can have several instance of a spell running without bugging up an instance of that spell

 

[DivineLight]

yes, i know Waits do not make things non MUI but sometimes they do..
depends on the use of it

MUI means multi unit instancable. That means that u can have several instance of a spell running without bugging up an instance of that spell

you're explain it to who? xD
i don't know what non-MUI's name xD but i do know what is MUI xD jk

Lol non MUI means not MUI. An just because u use arrays doesn't mean it's MUI or non MUI either. It's all by how u use things. The way u worded it was just misleading that's all.
