Lag problem

[DoctorReza]

i dont know why my map lags on weaker computers its totaly ok with fast computers but many players have been complaining about lags and i found out that they all have slow systems it happens in my laptop as well. i would realy appretiate if someone tell me what causes lags or a way to fix it.

Lags are often caused by

• Memory leaks. -> http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/
• Inefficient triggering/coding. -> http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ials-278/importance-efficiency-coding-120105/
• Special effect/unit concentration. This is caused when a great number of units or effects are present at the same time. Only you can fix this.
• Abilities are added to units for the first time. You have to preload them to fix this. -> http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/preload-abilities-238991/

I think there are a few more causes for lag spikes but I can't remember them at the moment.

This thread also talks about Lags in wc3 and offers solution. They are not all and some might be said out by Doomlord already.

Lags and Reducing them

You can also look at my tutorial things a guier should know as it will help with a lot of the efficiency part and some other useful info for map makers.

1- When does it lag?
2- If 1, Show us some Init triggers
3- Some Advices :
#1# : I have a weak computer . Maybe the weakest on the hive . So , Just a few leaks or a few special effects may cause it .You can try Ctrl + Alt + Delete and cancel every useless processor .
#2# : Check your triggers' leaks . ITE and GROUPS with Loop integers will cause a huge lags . Just make separated triggers. Never use ITE and Loop integer groups with loop points . Even by using custom scripts , You won't recude those lags on a weak computer .
#3# : Wtf would it be but Viruses XD? Anyways , Try to reduce special effects as you can . :/

@DIMF
Ah yes, learned some things that causes lags there.

So to the OP, I would recommend DIMF's tutorial also!

Never use ITE and Loop integer groups with loop points.

What loop points? What loop integer groups?

@Wrathion
I mean Like this:

• For each (Integer LoopInteger) from 1 to 120, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (UnitGroup[LoopInteger] is empty) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup[LoopInteger] and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Action
            • Set TempPoint[LoopInteger] = (Position of (Picked unit))
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint[udg_LoopInteger])
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitGroup[udg_LoopInteger])
        • Else - Actions

Some triggers that contain these functions in a row cause a big lag for me , EVEN WITH CLEANING LEAKS!!!!
