MUI and variable array size

[Spacebuns]

Does an array size of 1 for a variable affect its use for a MUI spell?

No it does not. However you will need some JASS to initialize some types of variable as you need to use it. For example timer arrays need manual initialization of indices above the size.

You don't need to increase array size beyond 1 for any var type except timers and dialogs I think.

What other variable types that need JASS to initialize? I'm aware of the timer array needing manual initialization.
To be specific, I'm using Bribe's unit indexing system that gives each unit a unique custom value to identify.

Arrayed unit groups require a variable size to make them MUI.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think so..I never needed to

Well it wouldn't be an array if it didn't have a size? o.o A unit group variable with "Size: 1" will have index 0 and 1 initialized on map init.

You have to use custom script to dynamically create unit groups in an array if you don't want a bunch of arbitrary wasted group handles. The biggest problem is that the "main" thread will crash and prevent any of your triggers from initialising if you set an initial array size (or multiple arrays) too high. A combined total of 30+k array indices aught to crash it, so I recommend not initializing any array in GUI above 16 (for MPI stuff).
