What are wait 0 milliseconds for?

The only actual use I know of them is that if you want to kill a building and instantly replace it, you'd need a wait 0 in between or the space is technically still occupied and the respawning unit would receive an error for unplaceable unit.



None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

hypertriggers?
waits 0-83 are equal...

@falkoner, sorry I did not test that. so I think you will be right.
so it should be 0-43.

Oh yeah, I meant aside from using them for hyper triggers.

Sometimes you'd have something like

C: Current player has suffered at least 1 death of Terran Marine
A: Create 1 Terran Marine at 'Spawn'
A: Wait 0 milliseconds
A: Preserve triggers

All that does is cause a minor wait in that trigger which sometimes can be good.

Actually, it's 0-42 which is equal time, not 83 like most people keep saying.. And if anyone wants to discredit that, you'd better come up with some good evidence.

And it doesn't necessarily create a Wait Block, I'm pretty sure you just meant a Wait, a Wait Block is when 2 waits block eachother up.

does it force the game to skip the rest of the actions in a trigger and come back to it on the next cycle?



None.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
