[Trigger] Global Immolation

[blancfaye7]

Greetings Hive.

I have a trigger that damages all units globally by 5 every 5 seconds, seemingly like an Immolation skill. The problem with using Permanent Immolation is that the skill kills any unit with an odd reason that I cannot discover. I just found it out when a wall building with 40% HP just died because of the immolation; no other sources of damage was detected. So I decided to make a triggered Immolation. But the thing is, it lags. Can anybody here give me advice of what to do?

Currently, my trigger's event is a periodic event 5 seconds game time. It turns on when the unit having the skill spawns. And when it dies, the trigger is turned off. Actions is I pick all units in range of 20000 (not really global but still...) from the unit, then I pick every unit within the unit group then damage it by 5. Then i destroy the unit group to avoid leaks.

Thanks Hive

You might have some memory leaks.

Post your trigger.

If you're picking everything in the map, you might rather want to use "pick every unit in region", and select "playable map area" as the region.

Here. The trigger I have.

• Koishi Immolation
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set UnitKoishiDamagePoint = (Position of UnitKoishi)
    • Set UnitKoishiVictimGroup = (Units within 20000.00 of UnitKoishiDamagePoint matching (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitKoishiVictimGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause UnitKoishi to damage (Picked unit), dealing 5.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitKoishiVictimGroup)
    • Custom script: set udg_UnitKoishiVictimGroup = null
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_UnitKoishiDamagePoint)
    • Custom script: set udg_UnitKoishiDamagePoint = null

Also, the lag is caused when this trigger is turned on. When it gets turned off, the lag will disappear, so it's most likely in this trigger.

---Edit

Though the trigger above is also turned on with another trigger. The other trigger is as follows:

• Flandre Immolation
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set UnitFlandreDamagePoint = (Position of UnitFlandre)
    • Set UnitFlandreVictimGroup = (Units within 250.00 of UnitFlandreDamagePoint matching (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitFlandreVictimGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause UnitFlandre to damage (Picked unit), dealing 125.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitFlandreVictimGroup)
    • Custom script: set udg_UnitFlandreVictimGroup = null
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_UnitFlandreDamagePoint)
    • Custom script: set udg_UnitFlandreDamagePoint = null

Best would be to create a global group including all structures matching your filter condition.

Dont destroy this group, just add/remove new/dead structures.

What may causes laggs is that you have filter out a lot of units when enumerating every unit of the map.

Ah! I get it. So I just have to create this said Unit Group, and just destroy it when UnitKoishi dies. How about UnitFlandre? I should just retain it as is because it isn't the "global."
