Lag when call UnitAddAbility

[Skippy]

Hello,
I have one simple question:
There is a lag in my map when I use call UnitAddAbility(GetTriggerUnit(), 'A002') in my spell trigger for a first time ('A002' is endurance aura).
Why and is there any way to fix it?

Thank you for answers.

Do you have a large number of levels in the ability? That causes lag. If this is going on a dummy you can give it to him as a default ability rather than add it as a trigger. Then I would suggest preloading it to stop in-game lag.

The spell have 12 levels.

Then I would suggest preloading it to stop in-game lag.

How can I preload it? I don't know anything about preloading.

All you need to do is create one of those units at either map initialization or elapsed time 0.01 and then remove it. (forgot which)

 

[the Immortal]

local unit u = CreateUnit(Player(15), 'hpea', 0, 0, 0)
call UnitAddAbility(u, 'A002')
//add other abilities if ye need to preload 'em as well
call RemoveUnit(u)
set u = null

That's what it should look like. Freehanded so am not sure about CreateUnit parameters.
