Phoenix fire based ability lag problem

[Exide]

Either use pludge (?) or, as already mentioned, Permanent Immolation.

I've never seen Phoenix Fire cause any lag (except maybe if they cause a lot of special effects, which might cause weak computers to lag.)

I can't edit your map, so I can't test these things myself. Gl, hf.

For the last time, permanent immolation doesn't do damage over time...
It just burns nearby enemies.

Burning nearby enemies; doing damage over time.

If the lag doesn't occur without the ability, then it IS the ability and there is apparently nothing you can do about it. Firing 100 times a second is a lot, but the fact that the lag stockpiles up doesn't seem like it would be the ability.

From what you've explained though, the lag you're getting is the same from that of a looping leak... But you've already said it isn't that so it has to be the ability. Use a different ability or make the attack occur in lower intervals and higher damage.

Spoiler

...
Immolation damages nearby units, when they are nearby.

Phoenix fire can damage them when they are near, it shoots a projectile which can have an initial damage, something that I do NOT need, and do NOT use.
I want them to take damage when they went out of range... That is the point you know.

And I also said I tried lower intervals, right now it's at ONE projectile in ONE second, it has low range, units spawn each 7.5 seconds.
Same lag.

If I act quick enough, and lag doesn't kill me, I can destroy the towers and the spiking slowly goes away.

Nevermind, found the problem.

Apparently there was another trigger concerning the buff the ability gives... But I didn't think of it, beceuse the function should have never ran. And it never did.
But I had a custom filter function, that, apparently, leaks like jesus christ oh wow. Thanks all. Now a few reps.

This is just so easy to manipulate. when the tower gets the upgrade create a unit on the tower which has no model file but shoots the additional projectiles.
