      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_NonBrainwashed_Units[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))])

NOTE: I have cleaned the following leak in another trigger:
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_BrainWashed_Units[1])
 
We cant really say if group "BrainWashed_Units" leaks because, as you said you destroy it in another trigger.

If you can ensure that you destroy the group before a unit by the same player casts this spell again, then it's no leak.

If a second unit by the same player casts this spell before you destroy the group you have a leak.

Also, why is it called "call DestroyGroup (udg_BrainWashed_Units[1])"? That lets us think that you again use a big If/Then/Else construction to check the correct player.

You should use arrays instead. Here for example it could be:

  • Countdown Timer - Start Brainwash_Timer[PlayerNumberOfTriggeringPlayer] as a One-shot timer that will expire in ((2.00 x (Real((Level of Brainwash for (Triggering unit))))) + 5.00) seconds

Also if you use same function more often in a trigger, it is worth to store it into a vriable.

GOOD
  • Set Unit = TriggeringUnit
  • Unit - some actions with Unit
  • Unit - some actions with Unit
  • Unit - some actions with Unit
BAD
  • Unit - some actions with TriggeringUnit
  • Unit - some actions with TriggeringUnit
  • Unit - some actions with TriggeringUnit
