Custom Scripts

[Vunjo]

Just want to know some things. Is it really important to "remove a variable" after it's all done? If I don't have it, is it called a leak? Does it causes a crash in map after some time?
Current status of map:
800 triggers with almost no such thing as removing variable

If you don't understand what I mean, here's the thing:
CallRemoveLocation"udgName of trigger" maybe I am wrong, cause I don't know anything about scripts. But I hope that you get it.

Is Call RemoveLocation(udg_YourPoint of variables)
It remove leaks or it will cause lag @@

it should be like this...

• call RemoveLocation(udg_Nameofvariable)

the custom script is case sensitive, any caps/space/variable etc... that is wrong then it will cause an error...

i think removelocation is for point only?

• Custom script:call RemoveLocation(udg_yourpoint)

I think its ovious that Location reffers to point, so the Nameofvariable I mentioned is 'point' variable ...

yeah, I think that it is only for location. But for so many triggers, and yet almost none removing of location, still, when I play the map with my brother (Local Area Network), it didn't lagg to him at all.

So, what are the others, like for real, unit, trigger?

Ok thanks guys ^^

"udg_" is meant by "user-defined globals" where we can assign own variable name by doing "Set Variable" action

You need to Remove Location and Destroy Unit Group and Destroy Player Group
for it will leak somethings and cause lag to the PC. (Well, for your brother's case I think it is a Miracle.)

You must also null locals in your JASS code for objects that get destroyed. GUI fails to do this so GUI code will always leak handle IDs.

The only fix is to optimize with vexorians optimizer (it replaces the GUI BJ calls with custom function calls which do not leak (null local handles) or to write everything in JASS (or JASS compiling languages) and null all local handles of objects that get destroyed or removed.

LOL, I am using vexorians optimizer. Does that mean that there are no leaks like that anymore?

There is leaks even though you got an optimizer.

It helps fix some of the leaks (atleast it did at once stage). Forces (player groups) locations (points) and groups (unit groups) are the most common forms of leaks, make sure you did not overlook any.
