Is there such a thing as Remove Event

[I_H8_U_M8]

I have always seen add event in actions, but I was wondering, is there such a thing as remove event? or to clear trigger events? Its just out curiosity. If there is though, could you also show me where that is, or the custom script for it? This could be usefull. Too bad you couldnt make a hashtable for the events to a trigger and add and remove them for it .

You cannot remove an event handle.
The only way to clear a trigger of it's events are by destroying the trigger, which you shouldn't do in the first place.

which you shouldn't do in the first place.

Basically Destroying triggers can result in a major handle allocation/deallocation bug and thus cause a fatal game error (crash). The exact cause is not certain but a lot of map crashes have been attributed to this.

You could CnP the trigger, remove the events you don't want from the second one, and then deactivate it. Course you couldn't do this in-game so if your adding events this is useless.

If the trigger is destroyed, are the event handles destroyed, too? There are a lot of loopholes in Blizzard's programing, so this seems to me like events will not deallocate.

Even more slick, does anyone know the best way to check whether handles are being recycled?

I thought it was good to destroy the trigger when its no longer used..?

Custom script:

call DestroyTrigger( GetTriggeringTrigger() )

Personally if a trigger was used once off, then it is probably ok to destroy it. The problem arrises if you create and destroy 100s of triggers dynamically for a damage system for example but still those crashes are not too common.

Well thanks anyways, too bad for that though.
