Lag Issues..

[Juno**]

Hey guys! I need your help again.. This spell, whenever cast makes the game little bit laggy. this adds up when I cast the spell a few more times making my computer really lag. I don't know if it's a memory leak or something else but It always does that. and If it is in the trigger, I have no idea what it is because for me, there is nothing wrong with it.

I really need your help guys! The lag really bugs me!

 

[thorhunter]

Usage of waits in this way may potentially cause leaks.

 

[SouLEDGE]

The waits shouldn't effect the lag, but I'm not familiar with that "damage circular area" trigger, try adding all units you want to damage into a unit group and damage them like that, remembering to remove unit group etc.

 

[thorhunter]

Depends if he spams the spell which point leaks.

 

[SouLEDGE]

Well I'm assuming that he doesn't try casting the spell within 1sec of each other, or has multiple players casting the spell at the same time.

Juno try removing the waits to see if they're the cause of the lag, but I doubt it

 

[Juno**]

well, I have tried replacing the damage circular area with a pick every unit then damage target action but it didn't seem to remove the lag (I also remove the group at the end of the trig).. I have also removed the waits but it didn't have any do anything at all... my computer still lags after every cast...

here's my new trigger:::

 

[SouLEDGE]

Cant see the trigger:?

[dracolich]

try to insert actions "display text to player" with 1-.... numbers.
so, you will find out when exactly lag happen

 

[SouLEDGE]

Lemme try test it out, ill get back to you

Hmm, aside from shortening it I couldn't see any reason for the lag

Well, I copied your trigger and tried it but the problem still persists (Although my skill's main purpose was to damage through the distance bet points)
Is it possible that my icon is the problem here?

 

[Juno**]

Uhmmm... It seems that I solved this problem by changing the base skill...The original base skill was shockwave, I removed all of it's field value and changed them to zero.. I even removed the buff and maybe, just maybe.. removing the shockwave buff in the first place was a bad Idea ... Anyways, the new base skill is channel an the lag was removed and the trigger was never the real problem.. thanks for the people who tried to fix it...

Edit : Sorry for the double post...

 

[dracolich]

well, shockwave have irritating ground transformation which case great lags.
so u had to say base spell at start

 

[Juno**]

oh ok...
