Yes, it leaks: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/

Position of a unit is one point, the offset point is another. It leaks nothing else.

Use "Starts the effect of an ability" event. That's when cooldon and mana cost take place.

tutorials are readable for people who alredy knows

man i alredy use "begins effect" :/ (i have game in spanish i translate it manualy)

You need to set the locations then remove them using custom scripts

any help with loop instead of wait?

 

[xIceShotx]

Listen to them up there
Or i can rephrase it.
1: Event: A unit starts the effect of a ability
2: Every point you use, make them a variable then use call RemoveLocation (udg_PointVariable)
3: If you use (Last Created Unit) twice on a unit, instead of slowing down the trigger make a unit variable (Last Created Unit) it will fasten the trigger. (This could be useful for your loop to fasten the trigger)

I'm reading your trigger (man i'm never good in this...)
Pass the leak cleaning, people discussed about that already
Tbh have you tried this on your map already? Because normally for me, triggers that need recognizing "triggering units" or such does not work after a "wait" thing (I can be wrong)
But, to avoid "wait" trigger, I have an idea: You can devide you actions into many triggers; at the end of each trigger, where you are supposed to place a "wait", you starts a countdown timer that has 0.4 seconds to countdown; and on the triggers later you have event "time - a countdown timer elapses" (This timer is actually a variable)
For example
Trigger 1

• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Nova
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6 do (Actions)
    • Unit - ...............
  • Countdown Timer - Start CT as a one-shot timer that will expires in 0.4 seconds

Trigger 2

• Events
  • Time - CT expires
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from ... to ... do (actions)

hashtables is the key to remove replace the waits with a loop.

there is a example spell in the tutorial that shows how to use hashtables in loop spells

EDIT @falzelo its not MUI
