[JASS] PolledWait vs TriggerSleepAction

[Hoernchen]

I have a question.
What is the difference between

call PolledWait(dur)

and

call TriggerSleepAction(dur)

and which one is better to use for what? Please don't answer with x is better. Explain it to me if you can.

One of them waits GAME time and one of them waits REAL time.
This means that if for example someone lags, the one that waits GAME time will continue waiting and the REAL time will stop waiting (if they were supposed to end at the lagging time).

I do not really remember which is which but I would guess Polled is game time and TSA is real time.

On a side note, waits are not encouraged to use. They have some evil side-effects in many cases.
Usually you would prefer to use a timer (not always, but usually).

Omg thank you, that is very useful information.

PolledWait is not only affected by pause, etc, but it is also less inaccurate than TSA can be (Though it often makes little to no difference).

In general, just try to avoid waits.
