Question: is this leaked?

kruzerg · Aug 8, 2015

is this leaked? if leaked, teach me the right things to do :vw_love:

shd blink
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to Treant Hide
- Actions
  - Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
  - Unit - Add Shadow invi to (Last created unit)
  - Unit - Set level of Shadow invi for (Last created unit) to (Level of Treant Hide for (Casting unit))
  - Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Sorceress - Invisibility (Casting unit)
  - Wait 2.00 seconds
  - Unit - Kill (Last created unit)

You should create a variable for the position of casting units since location leaks
after than you destroy the variable.

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)

You shouldn't use wait and then kill the dummy unit. You can generate an expiration timer for your dummy unit.

Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

if im not use variable, instead i just use:
Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

its already good for my trigger?

and i dont need trigger: Unit - Kill (Last created unit)
anymore?

You should use the variable for the location. Locations leak.

Yes you don't need to use it. The expiration timer removes the dummy unit.

thanks =) and so here we are

treanthide
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to Treant Hide
- Actions
  - Set TreantHidePoint = (Position of (Casting unit))
  - Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at TreantHidePoint facing Default building facing degrees
  - Unit - Add Shadow invi to (Last created unit)
  - Unit - Set level of Shadow invi for (Last created unit) to (Level of Treant Hide for (Casting unit))
  - Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Sorceress - Invisibility (Casting unit)
  - Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  - Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TreantHidePoint)

good?

That does not leak, but you should use Starts the effect of an ability event. With the current event, you can give Stop order right after casting the ability, the trigger will run but mana cost and coodown will not apply.

kruzerg · Aug 8, 2015

thank you, you good on this thing

Btw, for good practice since you're still learning, it is preferable to store Last Created Unit to some variable. Makes the spell runs faster.

Set dummy = Last Created Unit
Unit - Add ShadowInvi to dummy
...

I didn't know that you can make your trigger faster with this.

It doesn't matter if you only use (Last created unit/Triggering unit/etc) once, But it matters when Using Multiple Actions with a Unit. (such as here)

So do What Shadow Flux said, kruzerg.

Yes, by a very little amount. It helps controlling OCD.

kruzerg · Aug 9, 2015

okay thanks guys, but i have new trigger
is this right? i want this trigger leakless and remove any units in "any condition"
i worried if the dummy stuck on map, and more stuck can caused fatal error (too many units)

or i must making variable region and making :
Set flaregroup = (Units in (Playable map area))
and the customscript: Custom script: call DestroyGroup( udg_flaregroup )

this is my current trigger:

wrathdummy1
- Events
  - Time - Every 61.00 seconds of game time
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Central explosion
        
        (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Flare Star Segment.
        
        (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Flare Summoner
        
        (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Flare.
        
        (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to invisible Flare.
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
        
        Else - Actions

Maker · Aug 9, 2015

You need to destroy the group:
https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/complete-list-things-leak-126761/

Use Or - multiple conditions. Now you are requiring a unit to be five different unit types at the same time.

Flux · Aug 9, 2015

^What exactly will that trigger achieve?
And there is a leak,

(Units in (Playable Map Area))

creates a group but it is not destroyed.
And as Maker pointed, use OR.

No no, the Playable Map Area is a constant, it doesn't leak. Your previous trigger is already leakless.

kruzerg · Aug 9, 2015

ohh thanks shadow =)
btw my hero pick trigger already ok?

Flux · Aug 9, 2015

I'm not sure.
Why use unit groups? And why do you have those long list of condition?

In terms of leak, there is none.

kruzerg · Aug 9, 2015

thanks, the unit group for add hero to the group for condition

i read sound have leak too
and my trigger:
play - sound
set volume last played sound to 100%
destroy last played sound
then after that my sound doesnt play
so i cant do without being leak?

Flux · Aug 9, 2015

You don't need the Unit Group since you didn't use Picked Unit
Don't destroy Sounds created at Sound Editor

kruzerg · Aug 9, 2015

then my sound leak?

the unit group not affected or making lag my game right sir?

Flux · Aug 9, 2015

If you created Sound via Trigger and don't need that Sound anymore, then yes your Sound leaks. If you detroyed a sound, you can't play it anymore so don't destroy it, especially Sound Created at Sound Editor. Bottomline is, destroy sounds that you will no longer play.

I said you don't need the unit group because you directly refer to the Sold Unit and not the Picked Unit.
After defining REGION1, your next code should be the If-Condition. Unit group was unnecessary.

kruzerg · Aug 10, 2015

thank you very much sir for the lesson

Question: is this leaked?
