what did you mean by "it will lag" ?

When I add warror's power, the extra ability, flaming sword, will also add to my hero. After i add it sudden lag and no more.

what i suspect as the cause of the problem is :

• Set Preload_Ability[2] = Flaming Sword

why did you need these ?

and

(Learning Hero) could be changed into (Triggering Unit)

i have tried several times to do this and it worked fine for me ..

i think the cause of the "lag" is because you add the ability to that unit :3
my map has a similar thing where a unit gains a item, add ability to the unit and it causes a slight lag for 0.3secs

You should preload all abilities via Map Initialization.
It will lag when the ability first enters the map (via add the ability to a dummy unit and instantly remove it).

The "lag" is normal and you have successfully preload it, congratulations.

alternative to the dummy unit, you may add it to a building or even your hero at map init, not only abilities will lag but special effects and units...

You have to be smart with preloading. You don't want players to wait during loading screen for something they will hardly use nor find in the game.

Abilities with 4 levels are loaded pretty fast, and the lag spike isn't really noticeable; like in DotA; you experience a 0.01 lag spike no one cares about when a hero is picked because it just has 4 abilities with 4 levels. Even if you play in Deathmatch where you get a new hero everytime you die, the lag spike isn't important there.
