I know the basics about wait buildup, that if more than 1 wait fires off at once for the same players set of triggers then problems happen, but what happens to the waits, do they just start screwing up the trigger, do both waits get added together, will the triggers with the waits eventually end anyway?
I'm just wondering, because right now i just have no idea.
So, experts, ill just sit back, eat my pie and listen

well, the triggers fire from top to bottom, if you have one trigger with a wait in it, followed by a trigger w/o one, the second trigger will not wait for the first trigger to end. but if, the second trigger has a wait in it, it'll wait untill the first one ends, then the first one will wait for the second one, so if u had two triggers like
wait(0);
blAH
wait(500);
wait(0);
blah2
wait(500);
they would take turns
wait(0);
blAH
wait(500);
wait(0);
blah2
wait(500);
they would take turns

Waits do strange things. Before a "wait", other triggers are checked to see if their conditions are fulfilled, and if so, they are run.

You mean that triggers with waits doesn't run in order they are listed but they are run last for the players? Weird.

That can't be true because the Waits are in the Actions, so the Conditions must be checked first, so the trigger has to be scanned in the regular ordering.

Yet again, 2 people are telling 2 damn different version. Now how do I know which one is true?

The entire trigger isn't delayed. Conditions check and actions execute untill it hits a wait action. The actions remaining after the wait execute later.
