[General] Need solutions for 2 annoying things

[jonhysone]

Hello guys

I have two small annoying things I want for them a fix


1# Periodic event with damage area lags so much although i didn't use any points or groups

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • Unit - Make Caster damage the area of radius 300 after 0.00 seconds dealing 100 of type Hero kind Spell

1# Note : It just lags in the first cast

2# Why is the font of the game like this! It's unreadable!?! Its width is decreased, the letters are so slim...
NOTE: Only the chat text font ! Game messages and other fonts of titles ( like quests' ) work properly
2# ==> Solved : Warcraft Options => Gameplay => Chat support => Default instead of Japanese ...

Help is appreciated, +REP

1 try using pick every unit and then damage target instead. Then if that doesn't change anything turn the trigger off and then test your map. It could be some other trigger causing the lag.

2 could be the map's custom font?

1# Would be worse but i will tr

2# Nope I have two games folders (1.24 and 1.26) Both have the same issue and all maps have the same issue too :'(

1. It is most likely, since it is GUI, to use some faulty ForGroup that has to be cleaned by set bj_wantDestroyGroup, or worse; cannot be cleaned.

Avoid GUI-only functions.

1) The damage area function is reported to be faulty and async to Mac. And you cannot properly select the targets with it anyway. The lag however probably comes rather from damage events you trigger.

2) Well, what did you change? The fonts are under Font\, the scaling data etc. under UI\FrameDef\ but those should not get altered by themselves.

Next time make separate threads for independent questions and pick appropriate thread titles.

Dude you saved me , How come I not notice that ? xD , That was the simple solution anyways.

Do I use normal groups with variables and destroy them afterwards ?
PS: The spell doesn't lag but in the first casting time .Second and third don't lag...

Preload abilities at 0.00 game time by adding it to a dummy.
