Question about leak.

[MarshMello]

I got a question about leak like the title says. When a unit dies ingame does it go away? and if it doesnt is that leak and will ti cause lag? for example i have an rpg map. units spawn and units die. but after awhile thousands of units die will this cause leak and lag?

Would be pretty inefficient of Blizzard if they failed to clean up dead units.

i know they leave corpse and the corpse are still the same units but whne the corpse disappear is the units still there?

Ok well if your really concerned about it...and u dont have a spell that requires a corpse make a trigger like...

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Dying unit) from the game

Even if you do have a spell that uses corpses, you can set the trigger to remove the corpses after a set duration.

For your information, last time I checked (and this is a while ago) the corpses do drain quite a bit as the game continues to keep track of them. I don't think this is a leak as much as just a complete lagfest: you'll know when theres too many corpses.

The unit wont leak. But it will stay in game until its completely decayed. (thinks that 60 sec). No need to remove them i guess. It wont cause more lag, than when they all were living.
