I'd call a priest and your local police department. But in all seriousness, I don't know. Maybe try reinstalling the game and updating to a newer version.

Also, please edit your original post if you want to add anymore screenshots, you don't need to post multiple times.

i tried litteraly everything...from removing certain doodads whom i thought were the cause of the problem then i tried remodeling the terrain but to no avail i guess my best bet is to call the priest if no one else thinks of something

AFAIK this happens if:
1. there are too many polygons on screen
(thus look out for models with too much detail)
2. a model has faulty/loose bones/attachments

Looks like 1. to me. You have how many units, perhaps over 1000 on screen?

I know when I use "show all map" with lots of doodads (especially custom imports and "effects" like flames) I have those sort of spiky visual glitches that stop showing once I zoom in enough, so it looks like too many elements on screen for poor old worldedit to handle.

you are probably right although for what im going for here i unfortunately do need a lot of units...the main problem is those spikes appear in game cinematic aswell and only at certain angles...

I've seen battle cinematics with loooots of units on screen and I've never seen those "spikes" in-game*, only some lag. Could be dependent on your hardware though, but I remember back when warcraft 3 was still new and your PC is probably not 15-20 years old.

Have you tried testing without the doodads ? Select them all, delete, save & test the map and then just undo to avoid losing your work.

* well once or twice with some custom models glitching, nothing to do with the number of stuff on screen

ok i just tried deleting all the doodads and it did nothing but once i deleted units on my right side of the screen it dissapred? Dont think its hardware related since my pc is not older then 3 years anyways thanks for the help.... i guess my best bet is to just redo the enitre thing...btw loved Rise of the lich king altho i played the older version

Play the new one, it's much better !

It's not like you NEED to pre-place units. Check this out:

Saving/Deleting Preplaced Units to improve Editor performance

This is a rather simple and possibly unnecessary idea but I figured it might be of use to someone. I've created a small system that allows GUI users to save all of their preplaced units in the World Editor, and by that I mean save each unit's player-owner, unit-type id, x position, y position...
