I have a stargate spell system, and I want to know which condition detects units faster: bring or commands.



None.

bring.
It updates in the same trigger loop when you do either of these actions:
Quote
Kill Unit
Kill Unit at Location
Remove Unit
Remove Unit At Location
Move Location
Move Unit

Normally, it's bring, like Nude said, if you do any of those actions he said, both bring and command update, so if you want to detect new units in the same trigger loop as they are created, you have to run one of those actions, even if it does nothing.



None.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

So the wiki is wrong? It says bring and command detect units killed in that trigger cycle.

If they're killed by using triggers, it will, but manually, no, not unless one of those actions run.

Also, you have to remember that there isn't an updating problem unless you're using HyperTriggers, if you aren't using them it updates just fine.



None.

All right, I'll use bring. Thanks!

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[06:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
