Does ((Automatic Memory Leak Destroyer)) really work ?

[13lack_Ro$e]

Sorry if I'm asking a lot & sorry if it is not related to this part , but there is a system in the link below , it says automatically removes leaks, I mean how can it be possible? Just copy it into my full GUI map and it will do the rest ? no configuration needed?Is it Magic??? I mean It has no problems? It doesn't remove my defined variables and ruining the spells? ex : set variable ((MyPaladin)) to ((Casting Unit)) , does this system make MyPaladin null?

And again sorry for my noobness!

I've never heard of it, I doubt it would work but if it does that would be amazing!!!!

There is a leak checker here on the Hive to verify if that program does anything.

Use that program, then run this leak Checker

It catches only some popular leaks. There are a lot of functions it doesn't cover, e.g. distance between two points. And if you want to control when something is destroyed or not, e.g. a spell effect that lasts X seconds, you have to call this function:

call ProtectHandle(udg_MyVariable)

That way the system won't automatically clean it up. (but if you do that, then it is your responsibility to remove the leak)

So if you put it in your map right away, you may or may not see bugs. It might destroy things too early for you, but it depends on what types of spells and triggers you have. That's why it is still worth it to learn how to remove leaks yourself.

Such systems may be very interesting indeed, though it's in any case not adivsed to use it over getting knowledge about how to prevent memory leaks on your own.

That's actually really cool, never knew it existed. Someone should update it with any missing functions.

Thanks all.

Yes, though I haven't looked at it and tested it.
