Unit spawning slower?

I have a trigger that spawns 4 zerglings, and 2 terran SCVs . For some odd reason the zerglings spawn a little later, even though they spawn from one trigger and the zerglings are before the SCVs... ( order matters ! ) Any idea why???



None.

If it's exactly how you're saying, they should spawn at the same time, are there any waits in the trigger?



None.

No, i mean like the zerglings spawn around 8/12 seconds later than the SCVs and there are no waits ( using hypers )
If no one knows, it's not that big of a deal ( atm )



None.

Could you post the exact trigger?



None.

It could be possible that I have some random trigger that may be stopping it, but I have a very similar trigger to this one that works just fine...
I doubt you'll find anything, but here:

Trigger("Player 1"){
Conditions:
Bring("Player 1", "Vespene Orb (Protoss Type 1)", "Player 1 ", At least, 1);
Switch("Player 1 Attack ", set);
Deaths("Player 1", "Protoss Unused type 1", At least, 1);
Deaths("Player 1", "Terran Science Facility", Exactly, 1);
Deaths("Player 1", "Zerg Lurker Egg", Exactly, 0);

Actions:
Set Deaths("Player 1", "Terran Science Facility", Subtract, 1);
Create Unit("Player 1", "Zergling", 4, "P1 TF");
Set Deaths("Player 1", "Zerg Lurker Egg", Add, 5);
Set Deaths("Player 1", "Mineral Field (Type 3)", Subtract, 1);
Create Unit("Player 1", "SCV", 2, "P1 TF");
Preserve Trigger();
Comment("TF");
}

Hm... I have no idea. Maybe another trigger messed it up or something.

Maybe it has something to do with your switch, or you accidentily used one of those death count units for something else and don't realise it.

I hate when theres some random trigger interfering with stuff :(



None.

The switch wouldn't cause the problem, if the trigger runs at all, both units will spawn. Add a text display and make sure that the correct trigger is running.



None.

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

Yes, since this trigger is owned by only one player and you're creating for the same player they will both spawn exactly the same game time. Lags could make it a realizable real-time difference but even that is doubtful.

My bet is that there's another trigger removing the ling sin the same trigger loop.

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
