Buff expiration check {killing a unit after buff expires}

[Ale_tuskarr]

I want a trigger to go something like this:

If Buff expires (or is dispelled)

Kill the unit

something like that

 

[doom_sheep]

add it to group

pick every unit in buffgroup every 0.06 secs

if unit doesnt have buff [do action]

 

[Ale_tuskarr]

I dont understand please explain

 

[doom_sheep]

make a unit group variable

when the buff spell is cast add its target to the group

make another trigger that picks every unit in the group every 0.06 secs

make if, then, else action and have it check if the target has the buff

if no then kill the unit

In my opinion, running a trigger every 0.05 seconds is going to suffocate your map, so if you find it's getting laggy, don't be surprised.

Yeh, I periodic time like that has no use being so small.
0.5 is plenty small for such a task.

 

[doom_sheep]

it lags if u pick every unit with the buff. if u add them to a variable theres zero lag.

I've never had an issue with periodic triggers over .03 seconds, unless many of them are used at once; I find .05 to be safe as long as it's used sparingly.

Nah I made spells with triggers grouping units in area 3 times at same time per 0.035 seconds
its completly fine
