Its just an example, assuming all leaks are killed, and all bullets are recycled.

Whats the point of this comparison?
One function checks distance, while second picks units around?

• Set TempPoint = (Position of BulletUnit[MaxBullet])

I guess it should be >>

• Set TempPoint = (Position of BulletUnit[(Integer A)])

Why you check if number of enemy units around is equal to 0; then you start 'if' which.. again checks if units are around and are enemies. Aren't that silly? (Triggering unit) -> (Picked unit)

Yeah ton of leaks

 

[Gekigengar]

Its just an example, all leaks are banished allrite? xD

i made a mistake on that, made it greater than 0
and yea, change all into int A, i made a mistake again since i am in a hurry.

i am asking if picking units in unit groups is faster than picking group of units within an arrayed variable, or not. (i mean, loading unit variable also loads unit on a whole group, while picking unit group also picks unit on some group.)

What I understood is that you are asking if:

- temporary Group with auto destroy is faster than group saved into variable and used later in trigger

Answer is: It depends on situation. If you gonna need that group later, or you'd like to refer to it few times than stored group would be a better option.
Temporary groups are a more efficient way for performing instant stuff without caring about the future. It's more about circumstances than speed actually.

 

[Gekigengar]

well, its not groups saved into variable,
i used loop to pick all units that i registered in a "Unit" arrayed variable.
which is faster compared to
This :
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 500.00 of TempPoint) and do (Actions)

i mean, nothing is defined in Unit Group - Pick every unit in xyz and do (actions) yet,

but looping pick units in a variable (which are pre-defined on other triggers), seems to be faster don't it?

but i don't know which exactly works better, so..?

 

[Bannar]

Enumerating through arrayed units will be faster, but again, only if you need given 'group' (bunch of arrayed units) to be to be used few times;

GroupEnum picks EVERY unit in area, and adds to group only those who match filter passed; it means that units that could be ignored and enumerated anyways, even that filter returns false.

So if you stored units in arrays; looping through indexes will be smoother.
I'd like to know how your whole script looks like though.

 

[Gekigengar]

That answers my question, thx,

why ? is it bad? xD
don't worry, its just an example, the whole trig doesn't even look like this.

i will be using the group more than ever,
since it involves a lot of things that i will recycle again and again.
so i will be using the looped array units.
