[Trigger] Best way to avoid leaking created units from spells.

[ryanshowseason2]

Not really a spell persey, but under certain conditions when a unit is attacked I spawn a sorceress to cast silence.

Problem is I have multiple units attacking very fast so I'm guessing the cause of my slowdown is excess spawned sorceress's that aren't being destroyed.

My first defense against this is adding an expiration timer to the hidden units.

Anymore suggestions to avoid this?

Remove units with action "Unit --> Remove unit".
And don't forget to remove location leak when you create units.

I've seen the things that leak thread... But where can I find the custom scripts listed in those triggers? are they already built in?

Can't you just make them decay?

Try dummy recycling. Instead of making new ones each time, use a few which you purly recycle.

hm, use expiration timer

it technically is attached only to the unit supposed to be and you wont have to use w8s and timers to use the unit - remove unit from the game action which would be dumb if you dont want to instantly remove it

Expiration timer is your answer. However, I'm not sure if expiration timer only kills units without removing them from the game. Therefore, you may want another trigger for when an unit dies, and if it's of the dummy types, remove them.
