[Trigger] Special Effects and a certain leak

[Squiggy]

Okay, here's the thing.

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 12 (Brown) of type Doom) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Set (Picked unit) acquisition range to 0.00
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Doom\DoomDeath.mdl
    • Set tempeff = (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call DestroyEffect(udg_tempeff)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\BreathOfFire\BreathOfFireDamage.mdl
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the head of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\BreathOfFire\BreathOfFireDamage.mdl
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the foot,left of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\BreathOfFire\BreathOfFireDamage.mdl
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the foot,right of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\BreathOfFire\BreathOfFireDamage.mdl

Is what I'm using to add special effects to a certain unit when spawning.
Now I know it leaks when the unit dies and so I have to index them and remove upon death, obviously.
Now do I have to add the special effects one by one to the unit and set the variables accordingly, or is there some nifty workaround?
Be it solely for a shorter trigger...

List them up and assign them to the unit using a hashtable for example.

Save effect under handle id of unit and effectCounter, increment effectCounter.

Of course, this should be done within a function to actually shorten your triggers and avoid errors, which leads us to jass.

Don't you want to use a dummy ability that adds these effects instead (one of tornado's aura, for instance)?

It'll be simplier than triggering it.

Jass, eh...
Well i'm still to lazy to bring myself to getting into vjass again, but I like Tirlititi's approach (damn, your nickname is hell to type), so I guess I'll be going with it.
The unit apparently has an aura ability but it just looks pretty as of now.
