more questions about leaks

[caleman]

i read somewhere that the stun of the warchief hero leaks, so i want to ask are there effects that leak? you know the effects we use to make spells have some eye candy, if yes, which ones?

and second, when using the ping minimap at a location, do we need to use a variable instead of just "center of region"?

thx

Do you mean war stomp? I think it causes that because of the terrain deformation.. I remember all skills that have terrain deformation causes severe lag..

All locations/points leaks, so yes.

You need to use a variable and remove it.

well yah, you have to make it constant

 

[Almia]

Constant?

i use the following 2 effects often in my map

Abilities\Spells\Human\Thunderclap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl

Abilities\Spells\Orc\WarStomp\WarStompCaster.mdl

of course i destroy them with "destroy last created effect etc" but do they still leak because of terrain deformation?

Yep, the terrain deformation is hard coded in the spell so basically you can destroy that effect.(although I remember a spell that you can set the terrain deformation but I think that wasn't war stomp)

I don't know if it's exactly "leaking" but I do know that it will cause extreme lag and will also cause desyncs. so it would be better if you use another spell or trigger the thing.. :3

hmmmm, well im kind of confused here, dont know what ill do...

another question, will using the origin of a unit to create a special effect cause a location leak?

• Efecto especial - Create a special effect attached to the origin of Beetarget3 using Abilities\Spells\Orc\WarStomp\WarStompCaster.mdl

If you want an alternate AoE stun, you could use channel and every time that spell is casted, it will create a dummy that will fire stormbolt to all affected units..

I don't think so, as long as you remove the effect after..

That will leak the same as every other special effect, you have to save it to a variable and remove it.

No... He said he was using the effects. Using the plain effects of the skill in triggers will not cause any leaks, but using the skill itself (with effects or latter) will.
