My Question is Leaking!

[neo_sluf]

I have a condition..


If distance between position of Unit X and position of Unit Y is greater than xxxxxx


Will the position of Unit X and Unit Y will leak?...


I have a trigger..

Every 0.01 seconds

Set Position_1 = position of random unit of units of type XXXX

Then i have another seperate trigger

Order Unit to move to Position_1

Will the Position_1 will leak?..

Position of unit creates a location regardless in which manner you use it. And Pick units of type provides a new group.

reals does not leak. or well not in a big scale

What?.. do you mean it leaks?..


But tell me if i assigned a position it a trigger and use it on another trigger then how can i prevent the position to not leak?..

He is saying that your locs leak. Cache and then clean them afterwards. For the unit type thing, use set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true to avoid the group leak.

edit

Scratch the custom script. The GUI func for GroupEnumUnitsOfType doesn't work with it. Better cache the group beforehand and then clean it later (credit to Troll-Brain for mentioning this)

The pick random unit from group function uses the bj_wantDestroyGroup though, ofc it would not make sense to implement it in the create function without doing anything.

If you still need a location/object elsewhere and have access to it (like a global variable on it), of course that's not a leak. Only get rid of it when it becomes superfluous.

Ah thanks for sharing that. Which method should he use then?

 

[WaterKnight]

Since OP does not seem to have any insight, better do it the basic way. Store the group in a variable first, request that variable content, then

Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_var)

 

[Doomlord]

Agreed. The basic is always useful (Not like I know about all the advanced stuffs anyway :/ )
