Lagc during the effect

[ZiGOR]

Hi there! I've seen this problem several times before, but solved it by changing the nature of the spell, but now it's impossible for me because I don't have any options.

The spell I'm using is Shadow Strike based, but from time to time it starts to cause terrible lags and makes it impossible to play. And when unit that has this buff dies - lags stop.

Maybe someone knows how to overcome this problem without changing the spell...

Here are 3 triggers that are connected with this buff:
1. When unit is attacked it recieves this buff (kind of poison):

Hidden

• Poisoned Weapon init
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • And - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Level of Poisoned Weapon for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
        • (Poisoned_Weapon_Target[Player_Number_Int] is A structure) Not equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set Player_Number_Int = (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • Set Poisoned_Weapon_Owner[Player_Number_Int] = (Attacking unit)
    • Set Poisoned_Weapon_Target[Player_Number_Int] = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Poisoned_Weapon_Point[Player_Number_Int] = (Position of Poisoned_Weapon_Owner[Player_Number_Int])
    • Set Poisoned_Weapon_Damage[Player_Number_Int] = (((Real((Level of Poisoned Weapon for Poisoned_Weapon_Owner[Player_Number_Int]))) x 2.00) + 4.00)
    • Unit - Create 1 Regular Dummy for (Owner of Poisoned_Weapon_Owner[Player_Number_Int]) at Poisoned_Weapon_Point[Player_Number_Int] facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 0.20 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Poisoned Weapon dummy to (Last created unit)

    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Warden - Shadow Strike Poisoned_Weapon_Target[Player_Number_Int]
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Poisoned_Weapon_Point[udg_Player_Number_Int])

2. This trigger deals periodic damage to all units across the map that have this buff:

    • Set Penetrating_Hit_Damage[Player_Number_Int] = ((Real((Strength of Penetrating_Hit_Caster[Player_Number_Int] (Include bonuses)))) x (((Real((Level of Penetrating Hit for Penetrating_Hit_Caster[Player_Number_Int]))) x 0.15) + 1.35))

[Alright]

Shadow Strike has the notorious bug where setting the casting time to 0 in object editor makes the game lag really bad.

Casting time for Shadow Strike = rate of damage tick.
Hence setting it to 0 makes it tick as an extreme rate.
