[Solved] Single unit variables

[blackrat5521]

Are there leaks in single unit variables? I'm just wondering if my trigger is going to be leaking at all or not. I attached it below. I was looking around and found some custom script solutions, but they come up as errors when trying to save the map.

Unit variables don't leak, no.


Notably your trigger won't work if run twice; the unit group variable is destroyed but never recreated. You can't add a unit to a null unit group.

If you want to create an empty group, there's no GUI action for this, but there is a simple custom script:

set udg_GroupVar = CreateGroup()

Then you can destroy it later in the trigger.

The only reason I am using a group variable here is because it is the only way I know how to make a single unit attack move to a target and not just go straight for the target. The trigger re-runs many times because it goes off on a popular unit death, why would it not work?

You are looking for this action "Unit - Issue Order Target A Point":

• Unit - Order (Killing unit) to Attack-Move To Point2

As Kaijyuu said, you can't add units to groups that don't exist. If you intend to keep using a specific group, use this function instead:

Unit Group - Clear

• Unit Group - Remove all units from YourGroup

You only need to destroy/remove things when you don't need them anymore.
