MultiboardSetRowCount and multiboarditem

[Zeatherann]

If I have amultiboarditemvariable and set it to some element of a multiboard and then resize the multiboard viaMultiboardSetRowCount()and/orMultiboardSetColumnCount() will it invalidate (and/or leak) the multiboarditemvariable?

No, as the multiboarditem is a standalone object that can be applied to multiple multiboards. It's kind of like items and units: just because a unit drops an item doesn't mean the item got removed from the game.

Hope you get the analogy.
If you want the multiboarditem to be properly cleaned, you need to do that manually.


Btw, if you expand your multiboard again, the multiboarditem will still be there, so expanding/shrinking a multiboard is only a visual thing.

So I can continue to use the same multiboarditem to update the value? Even after making it beyond the row/column count via shrinking and then re-expanding?

If you don't release the multiboarditem, then yes.

Sweet, thanks.
