He is talking about combat, I guess.

The event, handled first by the engine, will happen.

You unlock a secret where like 50 ninjas come out and stab pirates in the face, then your CPU explodes into candy.

lol.

Let it snow, your question isn't complicated enough. You are supposed to ask what happens if the cc and hive are destroyed simultaneously, and the timer runs out at the same moment.

It's impossible.

By definition, commands are executed sequentially, so one of them <b>has</b> to happen first.

A time window where they define it, or the internal clock is just not too accurate which automaticlly creates a time window.

It's like you going out and buy a loaf of bread that says the weight is 500g. Now the chances of you getting a bread that's 450-550 might be 99%. But the chance for you to get exactly 500.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000..... is so little that it can be ignored.

Faskalia

Which leads to the question:
Can things happen simultaniously (spelling <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->) or is everything happening step by step and the time intervals are soo small, that it just seems to happen at the same moment?

Sandstorm

Of course, Half-Life isn't multithreaded. The game goes through the list of entities sequentually every frame, so whichever entity has a lower value would be updated first. I suspect the CC would die first, as the game seems to spawn team_command before team_hive.
