[Trigger] Will many triggers cause lag ?

[operator]

Ofcourse I know that many triggers in a map will lag more than just a few triggers. So without explaing what I mean I will just give you an example:

1#
_________________
One trigger

• Actions
• Unit - Remove Unit
• Unit - Remove Unit 2

__________________

2#

__________________
Two triggers

• Actions
• Unit - Remove Unit

• Actions
• Unit - Remove Unit 2

__________________

So, look at those two "examples". Would "2#" cause more ''lag'' than ''1#'' ? Guessing this will be silly to read, but I'm just wondering : p

#2 will lag more.
Since 2 triggers = 2*triggering+2*function running = more lag.

But if the triggers were triggered at different times they would lag less since it would allow time for the CPU to finish one and then finish the other but in such a short example more power would be used to fire the triggers than the actions require them selves and so no benfit would be gained by STT(Syncronized Time Triggering).

STT would only be usefull for making 10 units slide for 12 players, allowing you to run the slide actions for 1 player at a time.

So my answer is use #1. . .

I think, it depends on your intervalls, periods in which you TRIGGER activating or deactivating ...

If so, one TRIGGER with a period of every 1 sec. and 2 actions lags less than 2 TRIGGERs with a period of every 1 sec. and 1 action each ... so use #1

I'm creating a tutorial which explains what takes extra space, what causes extra loading time and causes extra lag .
But yes like dr super good said: #2 lags.
Those two triggers(#2) also take more space then just #1.

 

[Dr Super Good]

triggers like num2 are best used for player generic actions like every 12 seconds do blah for player blah.
That way by having them each 1 second out it will lag less than firing all at once every 12 seconds. But overall num1 method is the most efficent.

Basically, its more triggers more lag, and more triggers more functions more lag, and less triggers, more functions will cause less lag, depending on the size of the trigger, and what functions you enable into that trigger, will vary on the lag, say, on one trigger you tell it to create 200 soldiers, and then wait 10 seconds and kill the 200 soldiers, this will cause lag of creating the soldiers and killing them, but if you throw it into 2 seperate triggers, you will have to make the triggers link, which would take more time, and cause alot more lag, as it would have to create the soldiers, link to the secondary trigger, than kill the soldiers.
