when you use a location somewhere (like create a unit a a point), this location is stored in you computer memory
the problem is that warcraft keep this point in memory after using it, this is what we call a "memory leak"

a custom script is nothing else but a line of JASS in your GUI trigger
this one call (key word for saying wc we are calling a function execution) RemoveLocation; RemoveLocation remove the parameter location (dng_AngrySouls_HeroPosition here) from the computer memory.

the custom script removelocation works like this:

RemoveLocation (udg_PointVariableName)

basically, all you have to do is copy that line and replace "PointVariableName" with the name of your variable, which should be a point variable found in your variablelist. (I don't know if this only works with globals or not, but I only use globals in GUI for safety anyway)

so for what else can i use custom script ?

 

[Eleandor]

if you use GUI, you should use custom scripts to remove memory leaks. That's all. It's all explained here or here.

Eleandor:
- RemoveLocation works with local (i guess it's required)
- RemoveLocation also works with "null"

- you should use custom script for memory leak only, but in fact, you could use it for any JASS function
