Faster special effects placement?

In this test map, I am trying to get a spiral of fire or whatever go out from the guy, but the trail is going REALLY slow, I set it to wait 0.01 seconds, and yet, it is spiraling very slowly.

Run the map and select the hero and order him to stop, and the effects will fire.

Any help on getting it to spiral faster?

If u cast the spell five times quickly it goes fast

what i would suggest is not running the wait every time the loop goes through an iteration

maybe something like

If ( Integer A mod 3 == 0 )
Then
+wait 0.01 seconds
Else
+Do nothing

of course a few would appear at a time, but it would be faster, and you probably wouldn't notice it anyways


+ u might wanna remove the trigger from the trigger queue after its done

I have seen it done before, where it goes much faster. I have thought about skipping the wait, but that looks too choppy

I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

And by the way, why would I remove a trigger from the trigger que? It gets removed automatically when it gets executed.

Im not sure it does.. someone correct me..

But if you dont remove it... casting it over and over and could create a big queue list and the map could be slowed down very much halfway through the game.
