I need to be sure, so if you don't know or not sure, don't answer this question:

After running 1 (any) trigger, all the other triggers ( for all players) get scanned ?

Don't be mad for me asking but what do you mean by scanned?

I think he means checked. However, I don't know the answer, so I'll go now.

Yeah, just search one of the million posts Bolt Head posted...

Ok, I found it. It's got stuff about Hyper Triggers attached, free bonus.

Go nuts.

EDIT: reading that post I've realized that Bolt rambled a lot about Hypers and not much about trigger execution. Let me just sum it up for you:

It runs player 1's triggers, top to bottom.

Then player 2's triggers, top to bottom.

etc.

DOUBLE EDIT: Removed a paragraph full of wrong information. That tutorial lies tongue.gif

The tutorial by blizzard I linked to above also states that player 1's triggers going first actually becomes an issue because if two people bring a unit to a location at exactly the same time and whoever it brings it first gets something, the higher numbered player would get it, since their triggers go first. Of course, hyper triggers would basically fix this problem, but it's just an example of how the trigger order works.

EDIT: Forgot to mention wait blocks. These pertain to single players, so even if player 1 is executing a wait block, it will still go on to player 2-8's triggers. You'll get the hang of how those work after working with them, though.

All Players and stuff like for Forces is NOT the same as having the triggers checked for every player. All Players and Force triggers run AFTER the triggers that are assigned to each player. This is in the tutorial above.

The tutorial by blizzard I linked to above also states that player 1's triggers going first actually becomes an issue because if two people bring a unit to a location at exactly the same time and whoever it brings it first gets something, the higher numbered player would get it, since their triggers go first.

All wrong, Blizzard's FAQ lies.

If it's wrong, you should remove that tutorial from the database.

I had actually always thought that the group triggers were incorporated into the player's trigger orders, but I went off that tut and made my last post, thinking "hey, blizzard can't be wrong." Shame on me for thinking that, especially after playing D2 for so long tongue.gif

Edited my last post, removing all the wrong information.
