Creep problems

The creepspawn I am using is causing an server split or dropping people when the creeps spawn. Can you help me to understand why it is doing this? I checked several other maps with creep spawns and mine does not look that different from them. What is the best way to fix the problem?

Here is the triggers involved:

Perhaps it is not the trigger but the creeps themself who are causing the desync, check if any of them have massive hit points

Well, you ARE spamming, so knock it off.

The tool you need, you already have - WarEdit comes on the Warcraft III CD. There's nothing in the trigger that was posted that couldn't be done with WE. Check out faqs at Elilz to get you started.

Mephisto, why the HELL couldn't you just edit one of your posts 3 times instead of quadruple posting?

This button is your BEST friend:



Let's look at that super happy fun magical button again! Don't worry, it won't hurt you when you click it.



Let's see that button just a few more times, just to get it through your head...





GET IT? Click that button when you want to edit your post instead of posting messages 3 times. Unless you're just spamming for points, which is most likely the case. Are you trying to get banned? Because you're going down the right path if so.
