[JASS] List of variables that need to be nulled pls

[Trigger.edge]

Hi ^^ i need a list of variables that need to be nulled.... would greatly appreciate your help.

 

[Wietlol]

all?
except integer, real and boolean... maybe string too but I dont know.
However this is only required for local variables.

If you are referring to leaks, then its these:
Unit Group : DestroyGroup()
Player Group : DestroyForce()
Location : RemoveLocation()

You have to null agents. And only if you will destroy it potentially.

Well thanks to iceman now i know local timers must not be nulled, however globals if..... The same applies to player variables right?

Then, which other local variables must not be nulled?

Actually timers need to be nulled. As said all agents. Exception is only if you never remove/destroy the object, so there is no sense in nulling it.

Players will be never removed. -> no sense to null players
A static trigger gets usually never destroyed. -> no sense to null it. (if you really never destroy it)

With not nulling timers... You probably mean if you use the library TimerUtils. Then you don't really need to null the timers, too.
The reason for it is simple that the system will re-use the timer instead of destroying/creating it each time.
If you use timers just normaly, you also have to null them.

Local timers must not be nulled?
When you do "DestroyTimer(timer whichTimer)" you also have to set the timer to null.

Players do indeed not care a lot about it.
Triggers are mostly not destroyed so dont have to be nulled either.

However I suppose that nulling the local variable has no effect on the value anyway.
Nulling local variables is never bad and most times good. So nulling all of them is not a bad thing to do is it?

Local timers must not be nulled?
When you do "DestroyTimer(timer whichTimer)" you also have to set the timer to null.

If you use a periodic timer, only null it in the callback function when you destroy it, not after every loop.
