BTW yay i know their was a faster/easier way to do the effects but this was before i knew how.

I don't see the reason of freezing just now, but some general things:
-generally, use action "Unit starts the effect of an ability" to create spells
-Just put your condition to "Conditions" of the trigger instead of creating a new if/then/else and using only the then of it

I don't know what you know and what not, please post an actual version. You can do the special effects in a loop. Anyway, I'd write Creating/Destroying in one JASS line. To do that, create a trigger, copy one of the Create SFX lines to it and convert to custom Text. Copy the whole line with CreateEffect except the "call" and make a custom script function in the old trigger this way:
call DestroyEffect( insert copied text )

Maybe this works. Another tip for testing: Insert a "Skip remaining actions" at the beginning of the trigger and just move it downwards to see what works and what not!

I believe what is happening is because of

A unit Begins casting an ability

Before the mana is deducted to cast the spell its mana is set to 0 and so when the spell finaly is cast it removes the spell mana cost from 0 mana and sees.

WTF "-" Mana? ERROR DOES NOT COMPUTE! ABORT GAME!

Since its obvious you can not have negative mana in the game.

I get to see all the effects and the spell does do the right damage but from then on lag increase very rapidly about 2 secs after the casting and within bout 5 secs the comps just freezes

The lag increases? I'd say its due to the neglect to remove the points, therefore causing massive massive leaks, lagging your game into oblivion.
Fix your point leaks with a

For each integer a 1 to 10
Set Var_AntiLeakPoint = (Target point of ability being cast) offset by 400.00 towards ((Real (integer A)) x 36) degrees)
 Special Effect - Create a special effect at Var_AntiLeakPoint Abilities\Spells\Items\AIre\AIreTarget.mdl
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
Custom Script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Var_AntiLeakPoint)

Will leak about 40 locations and 20 SFX every cast.

 

[BlazeLancer]

i have custom spells in the same map with much with leaks that this one and they don't lag like this one, but ill try fixing the leaks

 

[BlazeLancer]

one cast of this spell will give doom to WC while a 36 point leak and 50+ effects leaks from another dosen't?

 

[BlazeLancer]

o wait NVM the other spells i used the code Donut suggested so less leaks

 

[PurplePoot]

Some SFX themselves are more laggy than others, and as super said, fix the Begins Casting An Ability thing. (change it to Starts the Effect of an Ability)
