Computers in general and therefore every program running on it (such as sc's trigger engine) cant execute 2 operations the same time.
The obvious exception are dual or quad core processors but every individual kernel of these is again only able to execute 1 command at a time. But I think its a safe bet to say sc is not capable of using multiple processors.
Thats why the triggers must fire one after another and cant be processed the same time.

Nervertheless, thanks to all for their contribution. You fully answered my question.

I don't even know how triggering would work if that were the case.

Lets say you have:
Always enable invincibility for protoss zealot at anywhere for p1.
Than you have:
Always create 1 terran wraith at anywhere for p4.

So they will both be done at the same time, that is, when you first start the map.

Well... u THINK its done the same time because the computer does both actions within milliseconds or less.

But try the following:
Place a zealot for P12 in a region.
Then the following trigger:
P1, P2
Always
Give all Zealot owned by P12 at region to current player

Then you will see that always P1 will get the zealot.

So pls stop your argument, you are definetely wrong which I already tried to explain you with technological background and logic.

From what I remember, All Players triggers activate first, and THEN it goes to Players 1-8 in consecutive order. But I'm not totally sure because I never used All Players or Force triggers because they cause lots of bugs when using create triggers.

As for you guys who are arguing over map editors, I use Xtra, SCMDraft, and Starforge, on each individual map I make. I need all 3. No bugs when switching.

To correct the people that blatantly don't know what they're talking about..

1. When you have always: do x, do y, they both occur simultaneously but in order from top to bottom. So if you had an observer and you did "center location x on observer," "create 1 unit at loaction x," "remove all observer," "center location x on observer," "create 1 unit at location x," two units will be created at exactly the same time; one where the observer was and one in the middle of the map. NudeRaider is right when he says it happens during "miliseconds or less"... it happens, for all practical purposes, instantly
2. Read the posts on the first page of this topic, specifically those of me, falk, kenoli, and hugel, to tell you how trigger order works with different players. So note that what shiz and akar said is completely wrong.
3. Shiz, there are a ton of bugs that can arise between switching editors, most obvious being a lot of doodads, goliath/tank turret damage, player colors, and Trasmission triggers messing up literally every time you go from SF to xtra. Second, using All players or Force triggers doesn't "cause a lot of bugs," you the mapper making mistakes causes "a lot of bugs," but using all players and force triggers just make it a lot easier to make stupid mistakes since they're harder to sort with the players' triggers.

xtra is useless when scmd is available, and switching between scmd and starforge is just begging for string corruption.

Yeah.. Use ScmDraft.. its available in starcraft.org .. I dont think it has virus or somthing cause i have Nod 32 and .. it didnt detect anything

Yea I don't think it has a virus or something either cause I have been using it for over a year and so have hundreds of other people and SI is a respected member of the community.

Kinda funny considering the first reply exhausted this topic.

Looks like starcraft.org isn't big on updating their mapping stuff. SCMDraft2 Beta 0.6.0 is lol.
Stormcoast-fortress.net is the place to get SCMDraft2.

Omg seriously guys... SOMEONE CLOSE THIS TOPIC!

The whole page 2 of this topic does not contain ANY useful information that has not already been said.
When you like to discuss go another forum...

But I have something to add:
When you mark all every player, forces and all players in scmdraft you DONT see the real order. Because triggers for all players that run for P2 are executed AFTER ALL other triggers of P1 have fired even if the "all players"-trigger is the very first in the list.
Same for Triggers for forces.

No.... Post a test map, because I don't think that is true..

Yes, it IS true... I indeed made a test map for it. I wouldn't say that if I weren't sure.

Selecting multiple players is useful for when you select, for example, All Players and P1, because it shows you that trigger order. Nude is right though in that if you select both P1 and P2, P2 triggers will appear as above P1 triggers if they are lowered numbered triggers, even if they fire after P1's triggers.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize what he meant, okay, I know .
