Killing units made by triggers in region.

[PapaRoach]

I'm having an issue where after i spawn 3 units within a region named "battlefield" I am unable to kill them.

I have no idea how to go about this. From what I know, units spawned with triggers are read only and make it impossible to add them to a unit group. Thus, all of the ways I know of getting rid of multiple units are void. The only way I can think of doing it is assigning each created unit to a variable after it has been spawned and then kill them by referencing the variable. This seems a little excessive though. I'm hoping someone can tell me an easier way.x

Edit: Sadly aware that I posted in the wrong section.

Alright well I tried to do what you were doing and here is what I came up with
(note it does work but it lags)

• Events
  • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (Integer B) from 1 to 15, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Set Unit = (Last created unit)
      • Unit Group - Add Unit to UnitGroup
  • Wait 5.00 seconds
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 15, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Unit - Kill (Random unit from UnitGroup))
          • Set Unit = (Dying unit)
          • Unit Group - Remove Unit from UnitGroup

Don't need to assign each one to a variable. Add them to a unit group. If that doesn't work, try using array variables(there are some tutorials on THW about arrays).

You also do not need the IntegerA before the UnitGroup pick. Picking every unit in a unit group really picks every unit in the unit group

My opinion is that variables remove leaks and lessens the lag and it DID work but it only lessened the lag slightly.

Variables don't remove leaks. Custom Scripts do.

Variables store data and ok lets say HELP to remove leaks?

Yep.
