[Trigger] About leak.

[CreatorD3292]

I already know how to deal with leaks but.... we use the
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_templocation) at the end of trigger or behind the set variable

Before setting it to null, otherwise your removing a null location and leaking an object.

You can remove leaks if you're not using it in some stuffs. Like

Set Leaks = Position of Unit
CreateUnit ( Footman, Player Red, Leaks, 0 )
blabla.......
call RemoveLocation ( udg_Leaks )

You will remove it when you don't needed it anymore.

Only use it after all actions where you need this udg_templocation.
Or in case after some actions you wanna set udg_templocation to a new location, then also use it.

nulling locations? what for?

leaking an object, what? please elaborate

 

[chobibo]

Depends, if you're going to use global variable, the one on GUI, you don't need to null them, but you still need to destroy the said objects your triggers create.

 

[deathismyfriend]

You can null global variables.
It is negledgible help tho.

Also post triggers if you already made them.

 

[Malhorne]

Null global variables don't really make sense or am i wrong ?
Because there is already an allocated place when using a global.

Nulling is done do reduce the handlecount and allow the game to reuse the same memory space. With globals variables it is mostly pointless, because they already have a predetermined memory space, so they can be overwritten without problems(except handles).
The problems with handles(such as locations) is that the variables don't really contain the values. Instead they point to the value somewhere else in memory. Due to this, nulling or overwriting a location doesn't really help, as the actual value will still be somewhere in memory.

OT: Remove the location after you have finished using it. This pretty much equals to saying that "Alright game, I don't need this location anymore. Clear it up, okay?"
