There's a terrain type condition. You can use that.

• DPS
  • 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) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Terrain type at (Position of (Picked unit))) Equal to Underground - Lava
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - 100.00)
          • Else - Actions

BTW, I didn't remove the leaks there coz I assume you know how to do that already. (But here's a tut to clear leaks just in case: Things That Leak)

I think the leak is the group, use this to clear them :

Before the pick every unit :

• Set Temp_Group = unit in playable map area

And end them after the damage with :

• Custom Script : call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group)

Also, I notice point leaks as well.
After the group picked, use this before If/Then/Else action :

• Set Temp_Point = position of Pocked Unit

After the damage and group removed via the custom script, remove the point with this :

• Custom Script : call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point)

Thx ill try it)

Forgot to add, use the variable for the pick every unit action and use the point in the condition, so they are leakless.

Add this before the pick action saves you an extra variable.

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

Good alternatives Doomlord ^^

I would rather make a region with all the lava places in it, and detect when a unit enters, add to a group and start the loop. Detect when leaves, and remove from group, check the units in group, if 0, stop the loop.
