      @wc_sumpton Yeah, this is a good suggestion so you can use multiple resources in the same trigger. I believe to achieve this now you'd have to make multiple triggers on the same condition.

        If this was implemented, I would have to "clean up" a lot of my XMLs ... 😃 It has really annoyed me to make multiple triggers.

                  @wc_sumpton I remember Veqryn said that one should not use a same trigger to make multiple things, but make multiple different triggers, one for each thing; tho I don't know why is that and if that would apply to the case of giving different resources, as well, or not.
                  Myself, I'm not sure if I would prefer making multiple triggers, one for each resource, or putting multiple resources into the same trigger.

                    HOW I CODED MY XML TRIGGERS:
                    Each of the triggers in my maps does only 1 thing.
                    If I need to do 2 things, I made 2 different triggers.

                      @cernel Nevermind, I understand he clarified that:

                      so long as there is only 1 effect from the trigger, (in your case, "placement"), then your trigger would be considered a "well-coded" trigger

                      So, having a bunch of "resource" would be good practice, if I got it right. So, I guess making 2 triggers to give 1 resource each or 1 trigger to give 2 resources is just a matter of preference; not sure about myself.

                        I wonder if "activateTrigger" and another effect within a basic trigger, fall into bad practice category. Or political actions and user actions that fire multiple effects via "activateTrigger". Actually Political action can't even use "activateTrigger".
