ok, so, I like the original 3-pack hyper triggers, but does, lets say, 10-pack make any difference? also, does making less then 62 or 63 waits damage the effect? say 50 waits instead? thanks.

The formula for number of seconds before the NEO (when there is a 2-second delay between trigger checks) is:

0.084(x[sub]0[/sub]+1)(x[sub]1[/sub]+1)(x[sub]2[/sub]+1)...(x[sub]n[/sub]+1)

Where (x[sub]0[/sub],x[sub]1[/sub],x[sub]2[/sub]...x[sub]n[/sub])

is a series of triggers with x[sub]n[/sub] wait actions in each.

If you have the standard 3 triggers of 63 wait actions, then you have 0.084(63+1)(63+1)(63+1) = 0.084(64)[sup]3[/sup] = 22,290.096 seconds until the hypertrigger effects take a 2 second coffee break, then begin again.

22,290.096 seconds is about 6 hours, 7 minutes.

Changing the number of hypertriggers or the number of waits simply modifies the wait until the NEO.

Err.. A shorter answer is that if you expect your game to last a few hours or less, then 3 hypertriggers with 50 wait actions each will have no different effect to 10 hypertriggers with 63 wait actions each.

The only difference is in how long it takes for the hypertriggers to run out and have to restart from the beginning (the 'NEO') - but even with only 3 hypertriggers it takes several hours (as dtbk calculated).

hmm im 12, and the only time i new algebra was at 7 for a month, so.. yeah :/..

You know what really grinds my gears? knowing that i cant make triggers faster than 1 pack hypher triggers, especially when a map needs... well... almost 2000 triggers a sec -.- yeah..........

Ummm if thats what you call algebra then shoot me! Yo can have less than 63 waits, It just changes the amount of time for the triggers to take as DTBK said their 2 second coffee break. If you had 50 the coffee break would be about every 10,500 seconds which is about 2 hours and 55 minutes!

Set notation is generally taught as part of an Algebra II course.

all triggers run 12 times a second. so you'd get 12 times what you want.
