Problem with trigger, makes everything lag and I have to close Warcraft

[neckcuttabob]

I don't see what the problem with it is, I have 2 other triggers basically like it the only difference being where the dummy spawns and the type of command I give it. Anyone see a problem with this trigger?

Spoiler

Does the "War Stomp" ability have a cooldown? How much dmg does it deal? How much mana does it cost? What's the aoe on it? How long does it stun for?

The trigger doesn't seem laggable to me. But it should not be able to work. Try adding/replacing the bolded stuff.

The lag should be caused by some other trigger. Try to post any possible trigger that will be run at that particular instant.

The problem is probably with the Dummy Unit or the Dummy Spell. Just because the trigger brings forth the problem doesn't mean that it always has to be the sole of the problem.

I don't see how that simple trigger could cause any form of lag. I agree with vypur that it's probably caused by another trigger. Or maybe even triggers.

It's probably because you have another spell trigger, that lags horribly, that doesnt have a condition checking which spell was cast. Check all triggers that could possibly trigger when a spell was cast.

I fixed it, well more or less I deleted the trigger and the base spell, made a new base spell from channel and made the new trigger so It was just like my other spell triggers, except of course the names of the spells and where the dummy went.

You could have kept the trigger

You made it create the unit for the triggering player

Unit - Create 1 Dummy (Freeze) for (Triggering player) at (Target point of ability being cast) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))

Who the heck is the trigegring player?
Shouldnt it be owner of triggering unit ?

Some base spells have information in them that if you set it to 0 just casting the spell will lag the game like crazy.

For instance if there is something like a "Time between damage" that was set to 1 or .5 or something.. if you set that to 0 then it causes warcraft's code to run a loop over and over and over lagging your game like crazy

All you have to do is not set those certain things to 0.. they don't have to be.. just set them to 1 or something and set the damaging portion to 0
