I don't see any leaks, but I think it's more efficient to destroy locations at the end of the spell, instead of destroying them every 0.03 seconds. I haven't used triggers and JASS for quite some time, so it's probable that I'm entirely wrong :p

He's creating a new location every .03 seconds, so he has to destroy it or else it'll leak.

The custom script should put outside of this unit group. This will bug IF the number of units in the unit group more than 1 because unit group functions runs like loop. If you put it in the unit group, it will destroy the unit group by the first loop it runs. Just for your information. :)
