Why does this trigger cause 1 sec lag?

[Ninja_Duels]

Very easy trigger. U use a spell and suicide after 10 sec.

• Suicide
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to AA Suicide
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add a 9.80 second Generic expiration timer to (Casting unit)

Why does this cause lag?

 

[vAnKaTa_G.G.]

What do you mean by lag. It didn't lag when I tried it.

 

[Ninja_Duels]

I mean a kinda freaze for like 1 sec maybe less

Edit: For standard spell i u Berserk.

 

[vAnKaTa_G.G.]

Hmm yes I see. There really is a small "lag" but I don't think it's in the trigger.

Sorry but I don't think I could help you out here

Final edit: My idea is that the dalay is caused by the ability. More precisely when you cast it. But I'm not sure if the triggers have anything to do with it...

 

[Etzer]

That should not lagg. Are you sure you have checked for leaks elsewhere?

 

[vAnKaTa_G.G.]

It's probably because the beserk I think that it usually "stopped" your hero for less than a second.

 

[Ninja_Duels]

What abilty could I use insteed?

 

[Berb]

Berserk doesn't interrupt orders in any way. Is the unit created or preplaced on the map?

 

[Ninja_Duels]

Hmm Bolth not only 1 unit

Either use Channel or try this one:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
  • (Issued order) Equal to (order(berserk))
  • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to X
• Actions
  • Unit - Add a 9.80 expiration timer to (Triggering unit)

If you have a large number of units in the map your using it on,
then it could cause a lag whenever you add anything to a unit or create a unit.

I've had this problem before and if yours is caused by lots of preplaced units,
then only fix is to either remove units or spawn them via triggers.

Ofc, if I'm wrong then whoops

 

[Ninja_Duels]

Hahaha, its a Footmen so yea there are a lot of units.

Make sure the delay occurs after initial casting only.
WC3 is prone to initial cast delay (sometimes caused lag as the game freezes not allowing input) some times due to it having to load a model inorder to progress. As such only if it occurs after a second cast is it really a problem.

First time casting lag can be reduced by preloading used models. However ultimatly people will just have to put up with a bit of it. Most modern PCs do not really notice it even due to the imprvements in hard disk transfer rates.

Could it be that the ability just has to load for a while in your Computer? Like, certain abilities, when used in-game, would cause a bit of 'Lag' because it's usually very erm... 'Big'.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The delay ususally is barly noticable on modern computers and it is only so long because your WC3 mpqs may be fragmented or background processes hogging up backing storage read / write requests. That is if this is the right cause for the delay.

 

[Ninja_Duels]

Thx for your posts, but could U give me a solution?

 

[Berb]

I believe a solution has been giving a few times now.

 

[tjordell]

Meaby (Triggering Unit) instead of (Casting Unit) is the problem. But still i dont see why it should be an problemow...

 

[Ninja_Duels]

I believe a solution has been giving a few times now.

Arh ye think I just missed something

Thx all for your help
+rep will be giving to the helpers
