Does using the function "Triggering Player" cause lag?

Because i have a trigger that is very simple but as soon as it comes into action it causes the game to freeze for about 2-3sec on my computer. (Which is pretty fast so for anyone with a lesser computer i don't want them to drop or server split)

Heres the trigger:

Events
    Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for LoadorNewDialog
Conditions
    (Clicked dialog button) Equal to LoadorNewDialogButton[2]
Actions
    Unit - Create 1 Basic Mage for (Triggering player) at (Center of Start <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

There is no reason that trigger should lag. Do any other triggers go off with the same event? Do you have any triggers that run when units enter the map?

 

[J3LADE]

nop just this one and the unit isn't even a custom model and has no custom icons either...

I know it shouldn't lag because ive used the same kind of thing before...

Is the mage unit totally decked out with some sweet-ass effects?

Yeah I will stop talking like that.
But is he? Is the mage unit a normal kinda unit or is there something special about him..? (something about him is huge, some kinda strange model file...)

nop hes the Apprentice Wizard from normal wc3 games

The only thing I can think of is to add a wait before you create the unit. If that doesn't work, upload the map.

Nup the wait didn't work

Maybe if i tried it with another unit?

Edit: Changing unit didn't work... i'll try it by trying to refer to the triggering player a different way.

Edit 2: I can't find a worth while solution to not using Triggering Player maybe i should just let the lag stay but imagine what would happen if all 12 players clicked the dialog button at once 12 x 5sec = 1min of instense lag :O (Which is highly likely as the dialog is at the very beginning of the game)

> Maybe if i tried it with another unit?

You could do that. By the way, when you used the wait, did the lag happen before or after the wait?

 

[J3LADE]

after the wait im pretty sure (kinda hard to tell when the wait is 1 sec and it's gonna lag for 5 sec.

 

[elmstfreddie]

Make a 10 sec wait then and get back to us

Well you do have a leak there... Fix it as well as all the other leaks in your map and report if you got it.

 

[J3LADE]

yep 5sec lag after the 10 sec where i can't even move my mouse or do anything else on the computer until the 5 seconds has elapsed.

Edit: There are absolutely no other triggers acting at the same time as this trigger does so i really think it has something to do with triggering player.

 

[elmstfreddie]

Maybe the script is messed up... Convert it to JASS and show me what it has.

function Trig_Creating_Character_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetClickedButtonBJ() == udg_LoadorNewDialogButton[2] ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Creating_Character_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call TriggerSleepAction( 1.00 )
    call CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1, 'H005', GetTriggerPlayer(), GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Start), bj_UNIT_FACING )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Creating_Character takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Creating_Character = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterDialogEventBJ( gg_trg_Creating_Character, udg_LoadorNewDialog )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Creating_Character, Condition( function Trig_Creating_Character_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Creating_Character, function Trig_Creating_Character_Actions )
endfunction

 

[elmstfreddie]

Seems fine to me...
Can you attach the map so I can get a closer look?

nvm
