You may have the same combination of spawning units but just in WE, you will not have it in multiplayer for shure.

(Center of VAMPIRES <gen>)

This location does not exist by default, so the game will first have to create it, but unfortunately, it won't delete that location. The game will create the location again and again, and those locations are little pieces of memory that slowly begin to pile up, causing your map to lag.
So you should create a point variable, set it to "(Center of VAMPIRES <gen>)" and then call this custom script:

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_NameOfYourPointVariable)

• Set MyPointVariable = (Center of VAMPIRES <gen>)
• Unit - Create 1 units[(Random integer number between 1 and 6)] for Player 11 (Dark Green) at (Center of VAMPIRES <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MyPointVariable)

I dont understand i mean that VAMPIRE<gen> is just a region why should it make lags?Anyway i think it will not make lags becouse i turned off the triggers after 55 seconds.

It's not the region I'm talking about. Have you heard of memory leaks? It's exactly as I said: they're pieces of unused memory.
By referring to the center of a region, you are referring to a location. To refer to it, the game first has to create that location, and only then run the action that is using it. See it as an invisible object. That object will remain there, because the system does not delete it, but another one is still created each time the trigger refers to it. In that case, you have to delete it yourself.

If you're turning the trigger off after 55 seconds, I guess it won't generate a lot of memory leaks, but still, it's preferable to be as clean as possible, and remove that unused memory (which also affects the loading time following your map's end).

Does any other positions make lags?Like position of unit....

every location.

Just use rui's way, it may take 2s more but it's worth when you won't have disconnects and votekicks on your map all the time.

You mean every location makes some lag???

ye, every time you refer to location directly(not using variable), and not destroyed afterward, it will cause a 'memory leak' (it still on memory, but you can't refer to it, and will be there until the game end or restarted). well, 1 or 2 leak is not so lag, but imagine if there is a 10.000 leak, it will crash the warcraft.

And, you can use a variable to save it at map initialization. And, you refer to that variable every time you use it. it's not leaking

Please keep the thread clean so other people can use it, else I'll have to mark it as [Ignored].
