"Every X seconds of game-time"

Pyrogasm	I know that TriggerSleepAction() has a minmum time of 0.10 seconds or something like that. Does that minimum time apply to triggers that run "Every X seconds of game-time"? If, for instance, I used this event: Trigger: Time - Every 0.06 seconds of game-time Would it actually run only every 0.1 seconds (or whatever the minium time)?

Time - Every 0.06 seconds of game-time

Runs every 0.06 Seconds

call PolledWait() and TriggerSleepAction() wait atleast 0.27 seconds

give or take a few 0.01's

so no I dont belive it does effect it

to test

Trigger:

Events

Time - Every 0.06 seconds

Conditions

Actions

Set X = X + 1

Trigger:

Events

Time - Every 0.27 seconds

Conditions

Actions

Set Y = Y + 1

Trigger:

Events

Player 1 red chat message containing the text -test as an exact match

Conditions

Actions

Game - Display to all players the text X + " Vs " + y

Pyrogasm	Why thank you, Mythic Fr0st. They do indeed run at different intervals. Rep'd!

Mythic Fr0st	Hmm, Thanks Mr Grammer. I guess I must talk perfectly now lol. (Feel's his typing being watched) I've never been +repped on here before lol Darn, my grammer still is horrible lol

Feroc1ty	Yes, it does not apply because the trigger actually creates a repeating timer, which calls back to the function you have made in that trigger.

Spam.

That it is. It's rather atrocious; but at least you're better than:

Oh, and I have a tendancy to rep people for being nice and all that jazz, you know.

wyrmlord	Mystic Fr0st seemed to cover everything. However, I believe I was told the minimum wait time was around 0.10 seconds and not .27. I'll have to double check to be sure. EDIT: I believe this defines the minimum wait time. JASS: constant real bj_POLLED_WAIT_INTERVAL = 0.10

Mythic Fr0st	Hmm, either way, I was told 0.27, but either way, its a sad 'extra" amount of wait time:( Your probably right

I think 0.27 is the time, BJ_POLLED_WAIT_INTERVAL is used in this:

JASS:

function PolledWait takes real duration returns nothing
    local timer t
    local real  timeRemaining

    if (duration > 0) then
        set t = CreateTimer()
        call TimerStart(t, duration, false, null)
        loop
            set timeRemaining = TimerGetRemaining(t)
            exitwhen timeRemaining <= 0

            // If we have a bit of time left, skip past 10% of the remaining
            // duration instead of checking every interval, to minimize the
            // polling on long waits.
            if (timeRemaining > bj_POLLED_WAIT_SKIP_THRESHOLD) then
                call TriggerSleepAction(0.1 * timeRemaining)
            else
                call TriggerSleepAction(bj_POLLED_WAIT_INTERVAL)
            endif
        endloop
        call DestroyTimer(t)
    endif
endfunction
