Deceptive it may be, but the Title is quite literally what is happening.
Basically, this kahmehahehaheauhea spell I have creates a literal line of dummies to simulate the 'beam' effect, but this line has massive and random holes within it, and by random I mean random. Some times there are holes in the beam and sometimes there is none. Also, the beam isn't flying its full length randomly aswell.
I have tried so many different methods to fix this, Heck. I've even tried using the script method of moving the unit to the set point.
Anywho, here's the offending trigger: (NOTE, I HAVE NO IDEA if it is this trigger or another that is in my map thats screwing everything over, Also, I know this spell is not mui. It does not need to be for this purpose)
Edit: Here's the lingo:
Also, if anyone could fix the 'lag' present in my map, I'll give them my first born child.
Map is attached for reference, requires newgen.

Edit: Here's the lingo:
- Dummy effect 3: Is the leading 'Head' of the beam, basically a larger ball.
- Dummy effect 1: Is a smaller version of the 'Head' beam.
- Khamehame_Number: Is an IDX of the type of Khame, basically 0 or 1 which changes the beams color.

, then just use the triggers to apply the effects of the spell, similar to what you do (meaning damage, terrain destruction, deformation so forth). So basically I would try to skip most special effects and dummy units - however as I have only the jass version currently, and have made no real test with a GUI one, I figure I might have to add more than I currently consider.
