The creeps are added and before new creeps are added, it checks if the old ones exist. The thing is, I dont have any kind of trigger to "remove unit from unit group". However, it seems after the bones decay, the Text message reports the unit group = 0, and therefore new units are created. 2 questions.

1.) Are the units in this unit group leaking?
2.) How can I make it so the unit is removed from the unit group after it dies (rather then after it's bones decay). I preferabely don't want to remove decay animations.

1. as long as it's always used, then it isn't called leaks. just remember to remove the unit from the unit group after it dies.
2. i just tried this and it's working

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Number of units in tempGroup)))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from tempGroup
          • Else - Actions

it remove the unit from the group after it dies, and before the decay animations.
this actions display the count of units in unit group every 0.03 seconds. so you could check if the unit is really removed after it dies.

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Number of units in tempGroup)))

just change the tempGroup into your group.

Ok, glad it's not leaking. Funny how units are removed from the group via dying, rather than triggering though.

Thanks.
