Is there a Possible way to Remove Terrain Defomation Leak?

[Skyflash]

as the title indicates i want to know is there any way to prevent or fix the Terrain Deformation Leak? i read somewhere that terrain deformation cause Reference Leak but there was`nt any solution for that

thanks in advance

i think it's not possible

But it can be fix it tho.

The solution is to not use terrain deformations. Aside from lacking a destructor, they throw off the return value of GetLocationZ which can cause desyncs.

The value is not synchronized anyway. You should never use it for anything that requires synchronous results.

I am not sure but could this possibly act as a hidden destructor?

native TerrainDeformStop takes terraindeformation deformation,integer duration returns nothing

I would imagine it freeing resources after the deformation is stopped.

thanks i`v created a cool spell with terrain deformation but it seems not worth it if the function causes desyncs , probably the other players get disconnected from game after using this spell

From what I undestood - it may cause desync only if you are using "GetLocationZ" in your scripts.

Isn't terrain deformations purely cosmetic anyway? I've seen units move right through hills created by those in multiplayer maps. As if they didn't register the change at all.

LOL if thats so this spell causes desyncs for sure ! l used GetLocationZ along with this spell
but you can`t imagine how much this spell turned out pretty alas the blizzard`s bugs

Even with regular spells like warstomp and shockwave, I've seen units that spawn while the crater is down and the ground raise up through them, leaving them partially in the ground. This is for 0 speed units, mind you.

Anyway, I'll probably spend some time to make sure I remove all the terrain deformations in my map lol. They lag, leak, and desync haha. They're atrocious.

They do not desync unless you use GetLocationZ in an unsafe way (to calculate game changing results). No one has confirmed if they do leak or not.
