[Trigger] Question about multiple events

[DarkDenizen]

Just wondering, exactly how do multiple events in one trigger work? Does the trigger run when any one of the events happens, or does it need them all to happen at once?

 

[Dil999]

Only one needs to occur.

Thanks.

Firgive me, but this is a stupid question. An event is only a blink of an eye. Two events can never happen exactly at the same time.

(To Paskovitch) Yes, they actually can, though it's rare.

If you have an event A Unit Dies, and War Stomp kills 2 units, they'll die at the same time. Thus, if XXY and XXX died at the same time, and the 2 events were XXX dies and XXY dies, then they would both simultaneously occur.

The same thing happens if 2 units were teleported into a region together, and a few other situations.

Actually, Even if 2 units die at once, one dies before the other and thus at a different time. You can not have 2 events run at the same time, unless you have a multi core processor where each processor runs 1 event but WC3 does not support this.

Technically, they HAPPEN at the same time in how we would consider time passing... They dont 'happen' at the same tiem according to warcraft though, because it would damage or kill one at a time at a very fast rate.

Meh, I guess it depends on how you interpret 'time'. (what inteval)

All in all, this discussion is sorta pointless, so let's move on ><
