[Trigger] How come this doesn't crash?

Following http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/there-way-remove-event-256539/index2.html

From past experiences on what people have said about doing it this way as well.

Test the demomap as well if the triggers don't say anything.

code

[trigger=]
Untitled Trigger 001
Events
Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
Conditions
Actions
Trigger - Add to Display Damage <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)
Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to lol
Set lol = (lol + 1)
Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(lol))
Hashtable - Save 0.00 as 1 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in table
[/trigger]
[trigger=]
Spawn Copy
Events
Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Create 1 Rifleman for Player 1 (Red) at DemoMapPoint facing (Random angle) degrees
Trigger - Add to Display Damage <gen> the event (Unit - (Last created unit) Takes damage)
Unit - Add a 0.10 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
[/trigger]

Use flame strike to test it when values are past 8200, it still doesn't crash.

I'm not sure about the OP limit. I think it also affects how much stuff is actually put into the block.
For example if you have 6 actions in the loop block, then OP limit may be 4200 times, but if you have 30 actions in the loop block, OP limit may be 1200 times, etc.

It is definitely the op limit. You need to split that into multiple triggers.

The thing is though, why doesn't it crash with the adding events?

Hitting the op limit causes a thread crash. These are handled by wc3s game engine. That is why it does not crash the game.

I thought event leaks eventually instant shutdown the game?

Yes but I believe you need a lot more than 8000 events.
