will empty array cause leak?
example:
U = unit variable
and variable U have array (U[x])
my 1st trigger set U[0]=xxx unit
and 2nd trigger set U[300]= yyy unit

the variable array between 1-299 is empty will this cause leak??

No, it won't leak at all. But you should notice, that warcraft dynamically allocates memory for arrays. The size of allocated memory chunks is 256, as far as I know. I.e. when you're setting value to 257th cell of array, new chunk of memory will be allocated. If you want to get slight increase in performance, set the last cell of array (8190) to something, that not equal null - memory will be allocated for all array at once.

Acording to my sources, it ups the array size in powers of 2, eg from 0-511 if you use index 512 it will up it to 0-1023.

The largest arrays in WC3 use only 32KB, their contense is the problem size wise thou.
