[Trigger] Leaks

[Peacehagen]

Hi, was just wondering a little about leaks. I have a trigger which creates a unit every 7 sec at "position of unit x". Unit x is a building. Will this leak? Should I make a variable at the buildings poistion then create the units at that variable and then remove the location?

Thanks for any help on this

Yes that will leak and yes, you should set the point into a variable and use the variable and remove the point with RemoveLocation().

You can either create & remove the point at the position of the building every 7 seconds, or you can create it once from a map initialization trigger and never have to remove it. If the building moves, I suggest the first one. If it doesn't, I recommend the second.

Thanks, the buildings wont move so I'll make an initial trigger for the variables

Everything that you can remove or destroy will leak including units, locations, rects, special effects so on. Most of them can be deleted through GUI but the rest must be deleted with custon scripts. To prevent Group leaks put this code before Pick every unit funtions: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true. For others save them into variables( units , points ) and remove/destroy them after use.this maybe useful for you
