[Trigger] Some questions about memory leaks (player groups/timers)

[Marine]

Hey guys!

In my game, I have a player group that I use often, and it always will have a different number of different players when used. Is it necessary to destroy the group every time I use it to prevent lag? I've found that destroying the group prevents the triggers from working correctly, so is there a way around this or will the game just eventually get laggy?

Another issue I have is with a timer. I have a 90 second timer that I use repeatedly, but it doesn't work if I destroy the timer after I finish using it. Will this also cause lag eventually? If so is there a way around it?

Thanks!

If you re-create you group again and again, then you also need to destroy.
If you only add/remove players from it, then it's totaly good.

If you need the timer, never destroy it. If you use the same timer always then there won't be a leak.
