Unit Groups

[Raging Ent]

If a unit in a unit group dies, is it still in the unit group?
And if you remove it, does it get removed from unit group too or does WC3 save the handle?

Pretty sure it does remain.

And if you remove it, does it get removed from unit group too or does WC3 save the handle?

Im guessing it does get removed, but I may be wrong.

Hehe well that's my point!
I use unitgroups but never really thought about them.
And since using integers to count 'living heroes' is bugging for me I thought of using unit groups.. but I need in-depth information on them.

A unit that is remove is leaking, instead using 'unit - remove triggering unit from the game', use the hide unit
And if the removed unit is in a unit group afaik, the unit still in there, until removed from that group

Wouldn't thousands of hidden dummy units lag?
As far as I understand you mean 'don't remove, it leaks, hide instead'..

Sorry, i mean, when the unit is no longer needed (in this case dummy unit) add expiration timer, then create new trigger
Event
A unit dies
Condition
Unit type of triggering unit is equal to your dummy unit type
Action
Hide triggering unit

This should prevent leak of removal unit
If you still doesn't belive it, then try this
Create a trigger that spawns 1 footman every 0.5s
Then create another trigger that remove every unit that enters the playable map area (use variable to prevent location leak)
Try it, after some time, your game will lagg, like a hell

Well I believe you..

But in my case, the dying unit will respawn after some time.
So can't remove it.. I can hide it temporarily but why would I..

 

[rysnt11]

Hmm...
I think the dying unit isn't 'reincarnated' i have seen a tutorial about respawning unit, and all it does is, re create same unit
