can't destroy effect

[Nyph]

set spec = AddSpecialEffect("Abilities\\Spells\\Undead\\Impale\\ImpaleHitTarget.mdl",x,y)
call TimerStart(r,0.05,false,function spikedam)
call TimerStart(t,0.05,false,function highspikes)
call PolledWait(2)
call DestroyEffect(spec)

That doesn't seem to destroy the effect and it stays there forever and causes lag.

Please give the whole function, I can't see anything wrong with your code...

function highspikes takes nothing returns nothing
local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
local timer r = CreateTimer()
local real x = GetHandleReal(t,"x")
local real y = GetHandleReal(t,"y")
local real a = GetHandleReal(t,"a")
local real l = GetHandleReal(t,"l")
local effect spec
local integer i = GetHandleInt(t,"i")
local real d = GetHandleReal(t,"d")
local unit u = GetHandleUnit(t,"u")
if i < 60 then
set x = PolarProjectionX(x,l,a)
set y = PolarProjectionY(y,l,a)
set a = a + 18
set l = l-2.5
set i = i+1
call SetHandleInt(t,"i",i)
call SetHandleReal(t,"l",l)
call SetHandleInt(r,"v",0)
call SetHandleReal(r,"d",d)
call SetHandleReal(r,"x",x)
call SetHandleReal(r,"y",y)
call SetHandleHandle(r,"u",u)
call SetHandleReal(t,"a",a)
set spec = AddSpecialEffect("Abilities\\Spells\\Undead\\Impale\\ImpaleHitTarget.mdl",x,y)
call TimerStart(r,0.05,false,function spikedam)
call TimerStart(t,0.05,false,function highspikes)
call PolledWait(2)
call DestroyEffect(spec)
set t = null
set r = null
set u = null
set spec = null
else
call FlushHandleLocals(t)
call DestroyTimer(t)
set t = null
set r = null
set u = null
endif
endfunction

thats the whole function

call PolledWait(2)

You can't have waits in timer callbacks (or in ForGroup/ForForce/boolexpr callbacks).

That's one possible solution, yes
