Why should this cause a server split after the 5 second grace period, when the hero gets booted to their base?

Trigger:

Relocate Trespassing Heroes

Events

Unit - A unit enters BlueHome <gen>

Unit - A unit enters RedHome <gen>

Conditions

gameModesSetable Equal to False

Or - Any (Conditions) are true

Conditions

And - All (Conditions) are true

Conditions

(RedHome <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True

((Owner of (Triggering unit)) is an ally of Player 2 (Blue)) Equal to True

And - All (Conditions) are true

Conditions

(BlueHome <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True

((Owner of (Triggering unit)) is an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True

Actions

Custom script: local effect udg_e

Set u = (Triggering unit)

Custom script: call CS_Error(GetOwningPlayer(udg_u), "Trespassing into the enemy base is not allowed. . .")

Wait 5.00 game-time seconds

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Or - Any (Conditions) are true

Conditions

And - All (Conditions) are true

Conditions

(RedHome <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True

((Owner of (Triggering unit)) is an ally of Player 2 (Blue)) Equal to True

And - All (Conditions) are true

Conditions

(BlueHome <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True

((Owner of (Triggering unit)) is an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True

Then - Actions

Set u = (Triggering unit)

Set i = (Team number of (Owner of u))

Unit - Move u instantly to RevivalPoints[i]

Camera - Pan camera as necessary for (Owner of u) to RevivalPoints[i] over 1.00 seconds

Unit - Pause u

Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of u using Abilities\Spells\Human\Thunderclap\ThunderclapTarget.mdl

Set e = (Last created special effect)

Wait 10.00 game-time seconds

Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)

Special Effect - Destroy e

Else - Actions

I do not see any server split material.

Back when i actually used Warcraft III i found a very good debugging technique. After each line in the danger zone (when the server split occurs) create 2 more lines of code (or gui) the first stating what just happened and the second being a one second wait. Then the last message you see before everyone goes bye-bye is the culprit, get the other tester to tell you what the last message said then correct the line of gui. It may be a lengthy process but will give you the soloution.

On a second note, try looking at deleting the local shadow 'e' if that is the culprit make a workaround, that looks suspicious.

Ammorth	Pan camera as necessary causes desyncs. Use pan camera instead.

Really? Dang. I figured it might be that. Since getting the location of a players camera causes desyncs that makes sense. As luck would have it all my other Pan Cameras are the regular kind. Thanks for the advice too Mapz_Maker.

RaveEye	I think you shall move this to the top of the trigger. Trigger: Custom script: local effect udg_e

It is at the top. And the cause of the split is the pan camera thing, because it's well known to do so.
