Are they needed in SC II?

Or did blizz speed up trigger check loops?

@zeldarules28: Go

Yes, I too would like to know what hyper triggers are.

@Vexal: Go

Triggers on speed?

Speed is illegal.

Back in the Starcraft 1 days you could make your triggers stack by adding a whole bunch of "wait 0 seconds" triggers so they pretty much fire simultaneously instead of one after the other - which was very slow. But you don't really need that any more. The closest thing you can get to that now is a While loop.

What...

@Vexal: Go

It was necessary for SC1, but in SC2 I think it's fine. Triggers already fire extremely fast.

@Vexal: Go

In Starcraft 1 triggers fired very slowly and only 1 trigger would process at a time. So someone found a way to make it so all the triggers fire extremely fast and the process of doing this was making 3 triggers that consisted of nothing but "wait for 0 seconds" and a "preserve this trigger"

Preserve this trigger? What does that do?

I barely used the SC1 editor.

I barely used the SC1 editor.

Means it loops, basically (iirc).

As stated, Hyper triggers were used to speed up triggers in SC I maps.

campaigncreations.org/starcraft/resources/staredit_tutorials/hyper_triggers For those curious.

Thank you for the heads up on SC II trigger speeds. I'm an old school SC mapper under a new name, new to SC II.

@zeldarules28: Go

there are still no for loops in sc2. if you create one in the editor, the editor creates a big pile of crap of while loops

I'll never understand why people think a bug from SC1 would transfer over to SC2 over a decade later.

It's a possibility for that to happen... just isn't really needed anymore, due to everything being much faster.

Ill never understand why people think its necessary to reply to a thread that already got its answer over a 'decade' earlier.

its interesting how dickish ppl r here...i guess I might just be a ghost mapper then. Glad I got one clean answer before ghosting tho.

Someone lock this (if possible).

@IlIIllIIIlll: Go

I believe you can lock your own posts.

Really? Oh crap. So it is essentially better to do while loop on every occasion instead of for?

Yes. Press ctrl+f11 to view your code. The conversion of for is awful

Pick is okay too
