hi, i am having trouble with my waypoint trigger
it orders units that reach their WP to move to the next one
and units that are stopped to move again

the problems:
it is verry ineficient, when the number of units it checks is above 100 the games performance decreases
another thing is the leaks with location when(i think its here) Unit_Rally_Point is set to the next waypoint. if i try to remove the location all other units that are moving to the same WP have the location removed also and stop. i added a comment where i put the RemoveLocation

i'm using the original world editor, but you can suggest JASS, i don't know JASS if needed i can look into it

Edit once again: Unt_Array is like a simple index system
Unit_Array is an array with all the units created, when the unit is added to the game it is also added to the Unit_Array. the Unit_Rally_Point is a point array variable with the current destination of that unit, it is first set when the unit is created. units are always on the same position in any array variables used.

hello again, i have been able to improve the trigger!
i disabled the collision of all units on the wave
and i also removed array variables that did not need to be array, like the For_west int array. i changed it to a simple int and made new variables.
now the trigger can control up to 480 units without performance decrease and there are no leaks that i can detect (i made a 100 waves of 320 units and the game closed with no delay)

how do i make the thread [Solved] ?
