Lag Problem with one Ability

[Cr34p]

Hi you,
I have a little problem with one of my ability. It increases the strenght of a unit by 5 every second (i did it with the attribute ability) but every time the ability is used the first time in the map there is a 4 second freeze on my monitor and then the map goes on without problems.

So, this is the first trigger, it adds the attribute ability to the casting unit

• Rampage Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Rampage
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Rampage(Str) to (Casting Unit)

this is the second trigger, which is increasing the level and stop if the rampage variable reaches a specific number

• Rampage
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in(Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) esle do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) has buff Rampage) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set TempInt = (Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit))
            • Set rampage[TempInt] = (rampage[TempInt] + 1)
            • Unit - Set Level of Rampage(Str) for (Picked unit) to ((Level of Rampage(Str) for (Picked unit)) + 1)
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) esle do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • rampage[TempInt] Equal to ((Level of Rampage for (Picked unit) x 4)
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Remove Rampage(Str) from (Picked unit)
                • Set rampage[TempInt] = 0
              • Else - Actions
        • Else - Actions

I hope someone can help me, because the lag realy sucks :O

create a dummy in initakization trigger and add it an custom ability that you use for your spell like this(this is on my map)

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Neutral Passive at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 1.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Taste of Death(dummy) to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Unholy Frenzy to (Last created unit)

also remove unit group(when you dont need it anymore)

re

i think you didn't understand me correctly

this ability increases only the strenght of the casting unit, it would be imposible with a dummy

Well, which units shall be affected, then if not only the caster?

Was für units sollen dann von rampage betroffen sein? Alle auf der map ?
Ich denk das problem is, dass du alle units auf der map in ne Einheitengruppe packst.

its the same thing a custom abilities cause lag when you firs cast it. it lag because u use add ability action just add all those custom abilities to some unit. and clear unit group
