I am trying to make a damage over time trigger for a spell and when ever it is activiated it causes the game to lagg. The time could be similar the trigger which only lasts for 10 seconds.

-Events-
-Unit casts a spell

-Conditions-
-<spell being cast> equal to <DoT>

-Actions-
-set <DoTDmg> = 80
-set <DoTDmg> = 80/10
-loop actions from interger 1 to 10
--wait 1 second
--cause <casting unit> to damage <target unit of ability being cast> with damage <DoTDmg> with attack type spells(other one is normal)


I have heard that this can be a problem with a wait time being in the loop, or is there some other problem.

its about GUI and Waits
you cant use Waits in GUI loops
convert your trigger to custom text - post it here, I'll post you a working version
