I've got a function I want delted after its called, how?

[Pinzu]

^above should I place it in a trigger and destroy it?

its called through TriggerExecute(name)

Trigger-Turn off(this triger)????

 

[rulerofiron99]

Put it in an if/then/else, checking a boolean. After use, set the boolean to false.

 

[Pinzu]

Okey so there is no clear action block or anything of that sort?

 

[Geries]

call TriggerClearActions( Trigger )
call TriggerRemoveAction( Trigger , Triggeraction )

Functions are static text.

If you don't want it to be able to be executable until you start the map again after you execute it through a call then use this as a custom script.

call DestroyTrigger(gg_trg_TRIGGERNAME)

if you have spaces in your triggers name the replace those spaces with the character '_'.

Why would you want to delete a function? You do not have to call it ever again but functions cannot be deleted.

 

[Xonok]

If it doesn't lag when using it, then it never lags. That's how it is with functions.
So as Dr Super Good said, there is no point in deleting functions.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The only time you would want to delete a function is if your program used dynamic code generation for optimization (such as a JAVA virtual machines). This however is a very limited use case since dynamic code generation is generally considered unsafe. Since JASS does not allow dynamic code generation (officially atleast) then there is no need to delete a function.

One could argue that removing the function decleration from the namespace would speed up the JASS interpreter by possibly reducing the number of hash collisions. In practice the same effect could probably be achieved by declearing all "limited usage" functions at the end of the map script to assure they are the hardest to reach in the case of a hash collision. This however is mico-optimization which will have limited effect on game performance. In reality reducing commonly called function name length will improve performance much more than any such optimization could.
