Do games have love life?
He knows you meant "crash" and not "crush" (you always say "crush" when you actually mean "crash").
Just making sure: I said it was not the most efficient way to do this. This means it can be improved.
No but by the sounds of things they are very prone to being crushed by something or other. Probably by a newer game I am guessing.
There is some procedural coupling in it. A large part of Chaos L trigger is same actions duplicated twice. One could argue that in the case of JASS this is "loop unwinding/in-lining" and thus an optimization but as far as good programming practice goes this is very bad.
Yea.

Start by limiting the causes. Does it crash on cast or on loop? Does it crash if all lightning parts are disabled? Maybe the crash is caused by hashtable interactions of incorrect/null type (although those should have been fixed, I remember how easy it was to crash the game using them when they were being beta-tested).
