Adding unit to Unit Groups

[nerdcafe]

Does this one

• Set Temp_Group = (Units in (Playable map area))

equal to this one?

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Temp_Group

If not, what's the difference? Been wondering for a while.

Temp Group can be destroyed afterward, 2nd one is adding to Temp Group that can be destroy afterward but the initial Pick Every Unit Group created can't be destroyed

1) Creates 1 unit group
2) Creates 2 unit groups

In fact, it is possible to destroy the second one through custom script by placing set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true on top of the "Unit Group - Pick Every..." action.

The first one will just create a group, then add all units in playable map area to it, and the group is assigned to a variable. The second one will internally create a group, and enumerate all units afterwards - perform actions, like adding them to another group.

First one uses a native to fill a group with all units the playable map area.

Second one does the same as the first one, then for each unit in that group adds them to another group. This is likely several hundred times slower than the first one due to not only repeating the first one's actions, but then using very slow JASS to process every unit on the map.
