Quick question about Waits

[X-Death]

We all know Waits tend to be inaccurate, but if I use this Wait in a trigger, will the Wait be the same length each time while playing on Battle.net?

• Wait 1.00 seconds
• -------- Actions --------
• Wait 1.00 seconds
• -------- Actions --------
• Wait 1.00 seconds
• -------- Actions --------

No, each wait function can have different duration.

I was told that the time difference from the number you want to wait, and the time actually waited changes each time the map starts by some offset, but all waits will have the same offset.It is best to assume that it would be different each time.

Thanks guys!

it should be different, cause of how is wait implemented. If your wait only waits for 1.00 seconds but by 0.99999 second mark your game runs other trigger or maybe some rendering, that takes more than 0.00001 seconds, which most of things do, your Wait will already be longer than 1.00 seconds. Timers are a lot better, but one can argue they may also be inaccurate, but not so much as wait(0. second timer will still take at least 1 iteration in game logic to execute which means your current running function must end before the function attached to the timer can run)
