edit: I've seemingly solved my issue: it seems to have been an unrelated bug
Hello fellow modders,
I am having an issue which I suspect is caused by one of the following libraries. As the title says, something about these two code snippets is causing lag that gets progressivly worse as the game goes on. It seems to affect the host less compared to other players thought that might just be because I have an exellent computer. Note that some of the trigger comments are out dated since I modified Retro slightly from its original version. I changed Retro to use UnitEvent (linked here: GUI Unit Event v2.5.2.0 ) and linked here among other small changes: The original Retro can be found here:

However, the lag only seems to happen when this spell is cast during the game.

[System] Retro (time travel)
The coolest system on the market, Retro logs a unit's status for any amount of time, then restores them to the unit instant by instant. Stats include: x, y, z coordinates, optional facing, optional HP and optional MP. If you want more, ask, this system is very flexible and can easily handle...

/* Requirements
* ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
*
* Description
* ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
* Retro provides data retrieval and callback operators for use in simulating a time-travel effect for units.
* While there is no promise that this is an easy system to implement, I will try to label everything as easy
* to read and as simple as I can. If you have any questions, just ask.
*
* To Know
* ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
* On its own, the retro struct indexes every unit that passes through AutoEvents. It records a unit's data
* during each lapse of RETRO_TIMEOUT and saves it all in a three-dimensional hashtable. Simple array values
* record the current-moment's data aspects: x, y, z and, if you desire, facing angle, HP and MP.
*
* To allocate your own struct and have access to Retro's excellent callback features, the struct(s) you use
* must extend array and implement the module named RETRO. This module uses allocate and deallocate as method
* names to regulate those events. You are welcome to call allocate/deallocate freely as they have built-in
* foolproofs. <deallocate> is also automatically called when a unit is loaded into a transport or dies.
*
* You can only instanciate for a given unit once per struct-type. You can create numerous structs which all
* implement the RETRO module.
*
* Events
* ¯¯¯¯¯¯
method onLoop -> called during each iteration of RETRO_TIMEOUT.
method onLoopForward -> called for only one struct per iteration, if it's in forward-mode.
method onLoopReverse -> called for only one struct per iteration, if it's in reverse-mode.
method onStart -> if you specify a "capture" real value, this will be called after that time has expired.
method onFinish -> is called by the deallocate method. deallocate is called automatically if you specify a
real value for "capture" or "initiate". It's basically your "onDestroy" method.
*
* Syntax Example
* ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
struct timeStruct extends array
method onFinish takes nothing returns nothing
call BJDebugMsg(GetUnitName(.subject)+"'s stats:\n")
