Alright, I start to get a good deal of lag about five minutes into a game using these triggers, but I can't seem to figure out what is doing it. Any help would be appreciated.

Trigger:

Why am I still playing this game...?

Haven't looked thoroughly, but already I found this:

Set Random = (Units within 800.00 of Tpoint matching ((((Matching unit) is Magic Immune) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is in (Units owned by Neutral Passive)) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is in (Units owned by (Owner of (Attacking unit)))) Equal to False

Bolded unit group leaks. For the first one use "owner of matching unit =/= neutral passive", and for the second one use "owner of matching unit =/= owner of attacking unit".

Alright, I fixed that one. I'm still getting lag though, and I'm pretty sure it is caused by one of those three as the lag only occurs after I have been using Frenzy Fire for a while.

Your unit attacks very fast? Doesn't seem much laggy to me from the triggers.

Second trigger can be quite disastrous though. May set up a chain reaction if you're careless in setting custom value for units, since the condition is a rather loose one. Try 'unhide' all your dummies and see how many of them spawn in a period of 5 minutes. If there are too many, then there's your problem.

ah, yes. I hadn't realized where just using greater than zero would lead me. I haven't used any custom values anywhere else yet, but I was planning on doing so. Perhaps I will instead create a unit group and put all the units with the buff inside. And my unit does attack quite fast, a few times every second actually. But would my dummy units really be a problem? The spell can't be cast unless the unit has 100 mana and it's mana is reduced to zero every time it casts it.

Units owned by (Player) is a unit group comparison, but you haven't created that unit group so the game automatically generates those (very large) groups every time it runs your conditions. Instead of a boolean comparison, run a player comparion ("Owner of Matching unit Not Equal to Neutral Passive" and "Owner of Matching unit Not equal to Owner of Attacking unit").

If the trigger runs often, lower the life span of the dummy units so that many dummy units don't exist at the same time. It really only needs time to cast the spell, which only takes time if you made the dummy unit so that it needs to spend time turning (a dummy unit which cannot move turns instantanously, like a tower).

Trigger:
  • Set Random = (Units within 800.00 of Tpoint matching ((((Matching unit) is Magic Immune) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is in (Units owned by Neutral Passive)) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is in (Units owned by (Owner of (Attacking unit)))) Equal to False

wouldnt it be easier if you compared players directly?

like
Owner of Matching unit is not equal to Neutral Passive.
