[General] Is there a need to delete local integer?

[LightningZLaser]

Just a simple question here. If I do for example

local integer i = udg_tempInt

Do I need to clear it?

No..

You only need to clear local defined local handles because of the handle reference counter that is used by the handle garbage collector. It only allows a handle index to be recycled once there are no references to it. The problem is that although argument defined locals do decrement the counter automatically at the end of the function, local defined locals do not which results in the counter leaking an increment (and thus becoming unrecyclable).
