[Trigger] Making Spawn / Death Leakless

[BlackEnvyX]

• Spawn Main Units
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Foot Soldier for Player 4 (Purple) at (Random point in Cragdallen Military Spawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Orc Runner for Player 10 (Light Blue) at (Random point in Serdafen Military Spawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Flesh Demon for Player 11 (Dark Green) at (Random point in Demon Spawn Main Entrance <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Flesh Demon for Player 11 (Dark Green) at (Random point in Demon Spawn Small Entrance <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

There's several other triggers involved with movement, but every 10 seconds of game time each side automatically spawns these to run towards a battlegrounds point on the map. How would I make this leakless (especially upon death, because a LOT of units die and not just these)

It's simple using custom scripts (I think you already know this). Or maybe you want an automatic leak fixing code?

 

[DaneTheBeast]

PointVariable = Random point in region 1
...use of the variable
call RemoveLocation(udg_PointVariable)
PointVariable = random point in region 2
...use of the variable
call RemoveLocation(udg_PointVariable)

And so on..

I was more referring to the custom scripts, how could I go about implementing them properly. In their own trigger or what?

As DaneTheBeast said:

• UnitCreation
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Point = (Random point in Cragdallen Military Spawn <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 1 Foot Soldier for Player 4 (Purple) at Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)
    • -------- ... --------

Only the points are leaking in this trigger.

If you are worrying about leaks when units die, units do not leak.
A unit that dies will be automatically removed by the game once it decayed.
However if you have a lot of units in your map, it can be helpful to remove units as soon as they die, instead of waiting for them to decay. The corpses can cost a lot of performance if many of them are there at the same time.

Yeah, as Jampion said, if you have a lot of units in your map, remove them with "Unit - Add Expiration Timer" action.
