Multiboard Set Item Leak?

[ShadowFlare]

I have isolated that the MultiboardSetItemValue is causing my handles to go up, even though I destroy the multiboard later on, the handles stay the same. This function is called whenever a player presses the DOWN arrow key. And they will use it quite a bit x 10 players. And each press causes the handles to go up from 20 to 100 handles.

Is there a way around this?

private function NextAtt takes nothing returns nothing
        local integer pID = GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())
        local CharDat dat = LoadInteger(CD, pID, 1)
        call MultiboardSetItemValue(MultiboardGetItem(dat.Instructions, dat.Attribute+2, 0), " ")
        call MultiboardReleaseItem(MultiboardGetItem(dat.Instructions, dat.Attribute+2, 0))
        if (dat.Attribute < MAXATT) then
            set dat.Attribute = dat.Attribute+1
        else
            set dat.Attribute = 1
        endif
        if (dat.Attribute==5) then
            if (dat.name == false) then
                set dat.name = true
            endif
        endif
        call MultiboardSetItemValue(MultiboardGetItem(dat.Instructions, dat.Attribute+2, 0), ARROW)
        call MultiboardReleaseItem(MultiboardGetItem(dat.Instructions, dat.Attribute+2, 0))
        set dat.name = false
    endfunction

MultiboardGetItem creates a new object everytime, referencing the cell.

Then how would I get the cell without creating a new object?

You should just destroy it with MultiboardReleaseItem or recycle it. Do MultiboardGetItem once in the beginning for a cell and then store it globally or save it in a local variable til end of the function/thread to finally destroy it (do not forget to nullify the variable afterwards).

This is what I got:

    method setmbitem takes nothing returns nothing
        set .mbitem = MultiboardGetItem(.Instructions, 0, .Attribute+2)
    endmethod

And I call the method after the multiboard is created. It is still not working.
Also, the first thing I tried was a local variable and nulling it. And it still leaked.
(And yes I used

MultiboardReleaseItem

)

    local multiboarditem mbi = MultiboardGetItem(GetLastCreatedMultiboard(), 5, 6)

    call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetHandleId(mbi)))

    call MultiboardReleaseItem(mbi)

    set mbi=null

does work for me. So show whole code plz.
