  • 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?

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?

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.
