First Created Destructible Detection

[Risk™Master]

I have a trigger which creates a destructible, and removes it 4 seconds later. It is triggered when an ability is first cast. The ability has no cooldown (and I won't add one), so using Last Created Destructible will work only if that ability is cast one time. Is there any short way to only remove the destructibles as they were created and not the last one that was made? If it must be made with Jass, please put down the exact code. I haven't used Jass before except in custom script in the World Editor.

Assign a destructible variable to the last created one after creating the destructible. This way, the reference is saved and you can do with it as you wish.

If I do that and the trigger runs again before the 4 seconds have passed, the destructible variable will be replaced by the new destructible from the next trigger and it will only remove the new destructible.

2x Solutions:
A) Use local
B) Index each cast

Okay, I don't exactly know what a local variable is, so could you explain it to me? (It is a variable, right?) And I also don't know any easy way to index each cast. This is why I'm asking for help.

Local variables can only be referenced in the function it was made (it cannot be modified by other triggers, unlike global variables). It's exclusive to JASS, though.

Have a look at this tutorial for dynamic indexing.
The way I see it, you want to index an integer that goes +1 every second and the destructible itself. If the integer >= 4, then remove the destructible, reassign the indexes.

Yes and No.

There is an action called "Custom script". it would look very similar to:

• Custom script: unit u = gg_trig_unit // of BJ_GetTrigUnit() or GetTrigUnit() ???
• ...
• Wait 5.0 sek
• ...
• Custom script: udg_tempUnit = u
• Unit - Kill tempUnit

Time is real, not integer.

Ah, I forgot about that.

That depends. I'd use a real if I wanted to use decimals for a timer, personally.

I think it looks like this:

• Summon Tree
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Summon Tree
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local destructable tree
    • Destructible - Create a Summer Tree Wall at (Target point of ability being cast) facing (Random angle) with scale 1.00 and variation 0
    • Custom script: set tree = GetLastCreatedDestructable()
    • Wait 4.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call RemoveDestructable(tree)
