[Trigger] Need some help with some memory leaks [GUI]

[angelx]

ok so this is the problem:
I made a variable tip: "Set Temp_Cast = Casting Unit"

I donno how to remove the variable.... i know that for temp_points is "cal udg removelocation(temp_point) .... need help...i'm a bit confused...

just simply remove - Temp_Cast from the game
and you may set it to no unit after that

 

[xD.Schurke]

set it to no unit and try to nullify it with custom script: set udg_Temp_cast = null

1. Don't null globals.
If you want to null it, set it as a local in jass and nullify it at the end
2. Use triggering unit instead of casting unit.

 

[angelx]

hmm....yeah...i guess i'll try to nullify it ...its not global

 

[Squiggy]

As long as you set the variable in the variable editor, it's global.. to prove that, make a new trigger and only set a variable in it.

• Set bla = (Triggering unit)

It will look like this

Then convert the trigger into jass and it will look like this

Set udg_bla = GetTriggeringUnit()

or similar.
udg stands for user defined global (as far as i know and is therefore global

 

[LightBloOD]

to set globals to locals in GUI
custom script local variabletype udg_variable
and use it in your trigger

Max 1 per trigger.

set it to no unit and try to nullify it with custom script: set udg_Temp_cast = null

Blah, please look into reference leaks before preaching how they work.

Removing an object only is necessary when you want to remove it from the game's memory; in the case of locations, since you won't be using them again but they are objects, this is required.

However, since a unit won't "leak" the same way in most cases (Since you still want it to be running around doing stuff), you most likely don't want to remove it.

 

[Squiggy]

Exactly why i have put 'or similar' behind - i doubt, he doesn't understand it because of this slight difference

 

[PurplePoot]

Your way would just cause massive syntax errors

 

[angelx]

k so i guess that i dont have to remove the object's variable, huh

btw: are u administrator ?!?!?!?!?

?
