[Help] Can I get Waits accurate?

Tide-Arc Ephemera	Trigger: Wait 0.01 seconds That wait goes for longer than 0.01, around 0.2 it feels like.. Is there anything more accurate than that? Big what the fuck? I selected the Scripts & Triggers section... ugh... could somebody move this or do I have to make another topic?

darkwulfv	It'll get moved. Regarding your question: Waits have a limit of like, .21 or something close. I thought it was only for PolledWaits, but I guess not. Anyways, your best bet would be timers.

Tide-Arc Ephemera

Poop nuggets of anti-awesome. Well since my super special spectacular dream just got crushed by something so simple, I may as well post what I had which was theoretically perfect...

Variables used:
HS_Angle, arrayed real
HS_Boolean, arrayed boolean
HS_ChainLimit, arrayed integer
HS_ChainPieces, arrayed integer
HS_ChainType, arrayed unit-type
HS_LeadInteger, integer
HS_LinkPoint, arrayed point
HS_TempPoint, arrayed point

JASS:

function TideAE_Checker_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer LIMIT = 40
    local integer i = 0
    local boolean b = false
    loop
        set i = i + 1
        if udg_HS_Boolean[i]==false then
            set b = true
            set udg_HS_LeadInteger = i
            call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i)+" has been set to true.")
        endif
    exitwhen b==true or i==(LIMIT+1)
    endloop
    if b==true then
        set udg_HS_Boolean[i] = true
    endif
endfunction

Trigger:

EC Energy Chain Copy

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to (==) Energy Chain

Actions

-------- DO NOT EDIT ANY OF THE BELOW --------

Custom script: local integer leader = 0

Custom script: call TideAE_Checker_Actions()

Custom script: set leader = udg_HS_LeadInteger

-------- DO NOT EDIT ANY OF THE ABOVE --------

Set HS_TempPoint[1] = (Position of (Triggering unit))

Set HS_TempPoint[2] = (Target point of ability being cast)

Set HS_TempPoint[3] = (HS_TempPoint[1] offset by 80.00 towards (Angle from HS_TempPoint[1] to HS_TempPoint[2]) degrees)

Set HS_LinkPoint[HS_LeadInteger] = HS_TempPoint[3]

Set HS_Angle[HS_LeadInteger] = (Angle from HS_TempPoint[1] to HS_TempPoint[2])

Set HS_ChainLimit[HS_LeadInteger] = (10 + (5 x (Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit))))

Set HS_ChainPieces[HS_LeadInteger] = 0

Set HS_ChainType[HS_LeadInteger] = Energy Chain

Unit - Make (Triggering unit) face HS_Angle[HS_LeadInteger] over 0.00 seconds

Unit - Create 1 Energy Chain for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at HS_TempPoint[3] facing HS_Angle[HS_LeadInteger] degrees

Unit - Add a (5.00 - ((Real(HS_ChainPieces[HS_LeadInteger])) x 0.20)) second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HS_TempPoint[1])

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HS_TempPoint[2])

Game - Display to (All players) for 1.00 seconds the text: (String(HS_LeadInteger))

Custom script: call Intboo()

Custom script: loop

Custom script: set udg_HS_LeadInteger = leader

Game - Display to (All players) for 1.00 seconds the text: (String(HS_LeadInteger))

Wait 0.01 seconds

Set HS_ChainPieces[HS_LeadInteger] = (HS_ChainPieces[HS_LeadInteger] + 1)

Set HS_LinkPoint[HS_LeadInteger] = (HS_LinkPoint[HS_LeadInteger] offset by 30.00 towards HS_Angle[HS_LeadInteger] degrees)

Unit - Create 1 Energy Chain for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at HS_LinkPoint[HS_LeadInteger] facing HS_Angle[HS_LeadInteger] degrees

Unit - Add a (5.00 - ((Real(HS_ChainPieces[HS_LeadInteger])) x 0.20)) second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Custom script: exitwhen udg_HS_ChainPieces[udg_HS_LeadInteger]==udg_HS_ChainLimit[udg_HS_LeadInteger]

Custom script: endloop

Set HS_Boolean[HS_LeadInteger] = False

If waits worked for the advertised amount, that would've been mighty freaking perfect. Shoddy quality, but I just made that today 'n' I was trying to get the concept right before leaks and timings cleaning.

Rising_Dusk	Moved for you.

Vexorian	Just use timers like everybody else does already.

Tide-Arc Ephemera	Thanks, Dusk. I was bored and I was trying to make a spell that's very popular in a very simplified form so that anyone could use it... oh wells...

Vestras	Is there anything wrong with having 2 triggers, one with the actions above the wait, and one with the actions lower than the wait. Then use a timer to run the second?

Tide-Arc Ephemera	Y'see, that's the logical thing to do so... starts working EDIT! Vexorian, if it seems like I ignored you I apologize, 'cause RoD_I reiterated what I had in my mind 'n' it sparked the method on how I could do it.
