Detecting Speed
You know how there are different speeds? Well, I want to know if there is any way to detect them. Then, if so, what are the different rates a count down timer goes down?
Deaths go at about 8 times a second on normal speed when you have hypertriggers, from there it's quite easy to figure out. And no, you can't detect the game speed, since the trigger speed also changes with the game speed.
None.
But I remember a tutorial before SEN died the first time... it involved a unit being order or something like that.
None.
Just here for the pie

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Waits always wait the same time (real-time) on any speed.
So you can make a 10s (or w/e) wait and set a switch after.
And as long as the switch is cleared you let a dc run. Depending on the value of the dc you can determine the current game speed.
Do waits really? Then how come hypertriggers run at different speeds for different game speeds?
None.

Yes, they do.
As you know sc doesn't wait exactly 0ms - which wouldn't be possible anyways - it waits 84ms.
Hyper triggers force the sc engine to check the triggers as fast as possible.
Which is every game tick. And this game tick depends on the playing speed.
Again, if you don't believe me, I can attach a test map. I wouldn't claim such things if I weren't sure.

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.[09:25 pm]

NudeRaider -- UndeadStarUndeadStar shouted: https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope.
