and if its neither of those then it may be this trigger but i doubt it

      - Trigger - Add to Cyclone aura <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Takes damage)

First cast lag will probably occur as it references abilities and units which might not be fully loaded yet.

If it still causes frames to be dropped, then it could be because you make 4 units at the same spot, try making them randomly in an area so the game has an easier time displacing them.

Reducing the procedural coupling might make it more efficient. An example could be making the same code to handle all levels instead of mirroing code.

Using JASS to create proper functions and more efficient code structures than those GUI makes would also cause the code to execute more efficiently so prevent the liklyhood of frame skipping.

hmm im afraid its more sinister than that i have just done some testing and am now finding that all my spells seem to be increasing lag so i seem to have leak that is happening every time I cast a spell :vw_wtf:

I have tryed disabling all my pereodic triggers (didnt work)

Choggers · Jun 23, 2011

and 2-3 hours of fiddling around later the lag is caused by a triggered spell that I had accidently deleted the Dummy spell for so it was doing this

Tiger Roar
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to Value
- Actions
  - Set Tiger_Roar_Ugroup = (Units within 1000000000.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) matching ((Race of (Matching unit)) Not equal to Night Elf))
  - Unit - Create 1 Dummy FTW for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at Dummy_Spawn_Pos facing Default building facing degrees
  - Unit - Add Dummy's Roar to (Last created unit)
  - Unit - Set level of Dummy's Roar for (Last created unit) to (Level of Max Mana Modifier for (Casting unit))
  - Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  - Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Druid Of The Claw - Roar
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in Tiger_Roar_Ugroup and do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Unit - Remove Roar buff from (Picked unit)

so every time i cast an abillity it would leak a location, create a unit, and order it to do a spell which would in turn repeat the trigger and hey presto theres my problem :ogre_haosis:

Is this trigger leaking or why is it causing lag
