Custom Script help needed

[Garfield1337]

How should i write custom script to destroy unit array variable with variable index as not only number,but for example "(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))"

I would guess that it might look something like this

• Custom Script - call RemoveUnit(udg_Unit[GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellAbilityUnit()))])

Assuming you were talking about getting rid units assigned to a unit array and not destroying the entire unit array itself, that should work.

You can't destroy a unit-array. You wouldn't need to anyways, since an array is not an object that will cause a memory leak. The only value that will cause a memory leak is the unit itself, which can be "destroyed" as Darkness-4ever has stated:

• Custom Script - call RemoveUnit(udg_Unit[GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellAbilityUnit()))])

Well,what i wanted is to clear unit array variable from 1 unit - so the variable is empty (atleast 1 index of that array variable) like in the start of the game,not to destroy/kill unit and this isn't for leak purposes.

EDIT: I've found another way for thing i needed,but thanks for the efforts anyway ^^

You can't destroy a unit-array

set unit[0] = null

Oh shit I did the impossible.

Changing a variable reference isn't destroying anything. By the way, Garfield1337, when a unit-array is initialized all of its indexes are null.

set unit[0] = null

Oh shit I did the impossible.

You didnt even destroy the array, you just nulled one part of it.

That's what i wanted anyway,though it's not in GUI custom script,but i don't need it anymore since i found another way to solve my problem.

since i found another way to solve my problem.

The only reason I can think of as to why you would want to "destroy" them all at map initialization is so that you can distinguish between indexes that have and have not been used. In such a case, you can check if a unit variable is equal to "No unit" in which case it has not.

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • UnitArray[4] Equal to No unit
  • Actions

I didn't say i want it "destroyed" at initialization,also i saw another guy asked same question in trigers and scripts forum.

 

[Berb]

what i wanted is to clear unit array variable from 1 unit - so the variable is empty

Sorry, not destroy, "clear".
