Removing Memory Leaks, Does Wiping over work?

[PossiblyMatt]

I have read the basic tutorial on memory leaks and am now in the process of cleaning them up from my GUI triggers. What I would like to know is do i have to destroy the group/point reference after each use or can I overwrite it. i.e. If I were to create a line of units could I do

SetVariable: temppoint = position of triggering unit offset 100 towards 90.0 degrees
Unit: Create 1 footman at temppoint
SetVariable: temppoint = position of triggering unit offset 200 towards 90.0 degrees
Unit: Create 1 footman at temppoint
etc.
Custom Script: RemoveLocation( udg_temppoint)

Or should I remove the point each time

SetVariable: temppoint = position of triggering unit offset 100 towards 90.0 degrees
Unit: Create 1 footman at temppoint
Custom Script: RemoveLocation( udg_temppoint)
SetVariable: temppoint = position of triggering unit offset 200 towards 90.0 degrees
Unit: Create 1 footman at temppoint
Custom Script: RemoveLocation( udg_temppoint)
etc.

Any help will be appreciated.

Wait wait wait... how can you set 2 temppoints in 1 trigger? That sounds like it will bug like heck, use a array if your gonna use both of them in one...

Um, that was his question.
Remove them each time. It you overwrite it, your access to that handle (in your case Location) is gone.
USe the GUI tags next time bro.

Tau Empire, you can set a variable infinatly as long as WC3 does not hit the opt limate, in which case the function will bug.

The answer to the question asked here is you have to destroy the object before you lose the reference to it.

What Dr Super Good really means, every time you set temppoint, you have to remove the point before you re-use the variable.

This is exactly what causes the memory leaks in the first place.
