[Trigger] Bad trigger?

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Howdy, I wanted to create a simple expansion mod for warcraft 3 maps but after x amount of time (usually after 15 or 30 minutes or such) the game crashes and I get a memory error. I think it has to do something with my triggers that mostly involve giving AI orders when they have enough resources as an easy way to let them train/upgrade to custom units & buildings. Luckily nothing too complex, but probably badly clicked together. It had been years that I created warcraft 3 maps so my own memory is a bit cloudy especially with triggers, I do remember that memory leaks need to be prevented so I used the guide on world-editor-tutorials to try to remove them.

Does anyone know what is wrong with the triggers below?:

Please post your trigger in [ trigger ] [ /trigger ] tags.

 

[Devalut]

Here's a shot in the dark, check your map boundaries, if you have any units touching the edge it may cause a crash if you view them in game.

 

[Warseeker]

Try turning off your triggers one by one. You'll probably identify which one is causing the crash.

Howdy, I wanted to create a simple expansion mod for warcraft 3 maps but after x amount of time (usually after 15 or 30 minutes or such) the game crashes and I get a memory error. I think it has to do something with my triggers that mostly involve giving AI orders when they have enough resources as an easy way to let them train/upgrade to custom units & buildings. Luckily nothing too complex, but probably badly clicked together.

Does anyone know what is wrong with the triggers below?:

I took a quick look mysef, and the only thing I noticed was that you're using the "units of type" action, which leaks a little bit of memory that can't be cleaned. However, with how far apart your periodic events are, I'd be very surprised if that was causing the memory to crash at 15-30 minutes.

Thanks all for replying. I replaced the code tags with trigger. Tnx Cespie for scanning the code. I just noticed that the game crashed when I train a custom unit from the sacrificial pit so I am guessing the crashes earlier are related to the AI Undead cpu's trying to train that unit. I duckduckgo'd and found this thread [Crash] - List of WarCraft III Crashes where it indeed is mentioned as a bug.
