[JASS] Special Effects go leak!!

[machris13]

i added a speacial effect to a neutral unit..

that sfx was a weapon i edited..

but when the unit was killed and sfx did not disappear even i put the action

call DestroyEffect(my_specialeffect)

..

it floats..

 

[Bribe]

Tried it with a different model file?

 

[machris13]

nope. i guess that doesnt matter because the model file i attached with is not edited(only the skins are edited).

 

[Bribe]

Doodad-based model files often won't disappear for a long time/indefinitely/won't appear at all. Even some buffs won't disappear until a set time.

 

[machris13]

look at my last attachment file..thats my model file and its not a doodad based.

 

[Bribe]

Change the model file to a missile for debugging purposes. If it gets destroyed, you know it's a problem with your model and not a problem with your triggers.

If I attach Brilliance Aura as a special effect, it will not disappear until 3 seconds after I destroy it. Many other files can be far worse.

 

[machris13]

so im gonna change the villiger model to missile then test if its destroyed?
ok i'll test it...


EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there..no attachment was shown at all...

EDIT2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
heres my trigger..

//TESH.scrollpos=0
//TESH.alwaysfold=0
function Trig_unitsfxs_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u = gg_unit_h003_0011
    local unit u2 = gg_unit_h003_0012
    local integer i=0
    local effect sfx1
    local effect sfx2
    set sfx1 = AddSpecialEffectTarget("war3mapImported\\axe1.mdx", u, "left hand")
    set sfx2 = AddSpecialEffectTarget("war3mapImported\\axe1.mdx", u2, "left hand")
    loop
        if u == null then
            call DestroyEffect(sfx1)
            set i = i + 1
        endif
        if u2 == null then
            call DestroyEffect(sfx2)
            set i = i + 1
        endif
        exitwhen i == 2
    endloop
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_unitsfxs takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_unitsfxs = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_unitsfxs, function Trig_unitsfxs_Actions )
endfunction

 

[Bribe]

Not the villager model, the axe model!

 

[machris13]

you dont need to shout..^^
okok!

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the attachment didnt disapear....
check out my trigger..is their something wrong in it?

 

[Deaod]

check the death animation of the model you attached. If at the end of that animation, the model is still visible, then even after destroying the memory object, the model persists for a bit in game (typically 5 seconds, cant be adjusted via gameplay constants)

 

[machris13]

the model has no animations...

 

[SlayerII]

adding attachmets with triggers is a bad idea. try using abilitys for this. Its much easier, and you still have the same controll(cause you are able to remove abilitys jsut llike you are able to remove sp. effects)

 

[machris13]

but when i use that..
and when the unit dies(the start of the interval) the special effects are removed..

for example when a hero has died, i want the special effect to be shown while dissipating..

 

[SlayerII]

normally, the effects shouldnt be removed when dieng. Depends on the model guess, some attachmets dissapear, but most well made should stay.
At least the ones im using are staying while dieng.
weapons look odd while dieng anyway.

 

[machris13]

ok im gonna try..
