AoE Frost Attack is Causing Movement Lag

[sevensc]

I have been playing around with a frost tower for use in a TD of sorts.

I want it to have an AoE attack that slows all the damaged units - and I can get that going easily in any number of ways.

The real problem is that when a player has a number of frost towers attack a group of units, the units appear as though they are being stunned, over and over again.

The only "group slowing" that I can find that doesn't produce this effect is a reverse 'endurance aura' - but that is an aura and not an attack.

Any help with figuring this out would be appreciated.

You can add the buff/effect "Slowed" to the towers attack for a Blizzard spell type slow, or use triggers:

 ColdTowerAttack
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        (Attacked unit) Equal to "ThatRoundsCreep" <gen>
        (Attacking unit) Equal to "ColdTower" <gen>
    Actions
        Unit - Set (Attacked unit) movement speed to ((Current movement speed of (Attacked unit)) - 100.00)
        Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Attacked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\FrostDamage\FrostDamage.mdl
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

'Slowed' is what I have been using without success. When it is applied to a group of units, it stuns them repeatedly.

Well, "Slowed" itself does nothing, a buff is there just to tell you whats happening, try setting the towers attack with a heavily modified "Cold Arrows" spell.

Or find another spell that slows.

An orb, modify a poison/frost orb ability for your tower, try that out.

No good? Use triggers.
