How many leaks mater

[Kamulec]

If some function is run once per game does leak matter?

Depends on how much of a perfectionist you are.
Really 1 leak at the beginning of the game isn't going to affect the game - leaks are the most dangerous when they're on triggers that run multiple times, like spells or periodic, or you have a trigger that could generate numerous leaks in 1 run, like a loop with very high numbers (like looping 1 to something in the hundreds)

Leaks do matter a lot and the games will lagg if you add much systems.


If you read this you learn how to remove some of them

Various object leaks in your map has several memory consumptions. The location(point) leak will not consume of more than 1kB of RAM, same as group(unit group) and force(player group). The greatest consumer of memory is the effect(special effect) leak which consumes 3~11kB.


Minor leaks should be also cleaned before they become dominant in your map and cause fatalities.

To make it short: Leak is a leak and need to be fixed in any way!

Matter, mate.

Technically, all leaks matter, they all cause lag. It just takes a considerable amount of them to cause any visible lag. I suggest getting rid of every leak possible, even ones that do little difference in the short-term, as they do build up, using the tutorial TKF linked.

I haven't told "I cannot remove leaks" but I have asked how much does it matter.

1 leak will cause minimal effects. But as they stack up over time, they can cause awful lag.
