Destroying Player Group Variables

[AEK]

This is quick and simple

How do i destroy Player Group Variables? Is it:

> call DestroyPlayerGroup (udg_my_var) ?

Or something like:
> call DestroyForce (udg_my_var) ?

Thanks in advance! AEK

According to my knowledge, you don't need to.
If you do, check the options that GUI gives.

So Player Groups dont leak?

 

[Ghan]

Player Groups do leak. Except for All Players. That never leaks. Don't destroy it.

call DestroyForce(udg_SomeForce)

Oh ok, well my player group selects all players who are controlled by a user not computers... So it creates units at a location... Would i need to destroy that, since it is not selecting all players? And i put the "call DestroyForce (udg_tmp_spawn_group)" but it will not allow me to keep the trigger enabled, because of that script...

Yes.

I'll need to see the whole script....

Map Initialization
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        [COLOR="Red"]Set tmp_spawn_player_group = (All players controlled by a User player)[/COLOR]
        Set tmp_spawn_point = (Center of Init Start <gen>)
        Player Group - Pick every player in tmp_spawn_player_group and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 Sorceress for (Picked player) at tmp_spawn_point facing Default building facing degrees
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_tmp_spawn_point)
        [COLOR="Red"]Custom script:   call DestroyForce (udg_tmp_spawn_group)[/COLOR]

Also, i just tested my map then and it still creates units for computer players instead of user players

Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_tmp_spawn_player_group)

How do you have Scenario Properties set up?
If all else fails, you might try adding an If/Then/Else to check again for Player Controller.

i've already got two forces set up, red and yellow being the bases (as in the case of dota except red and green) and 3 players on each side.. Im guessing that will interfere with this trigger?

> Im guessing that will interfere with this trigger?

I don't know what your intent is with this trigger.
Only you will know if the actions of that trigger will hamper your efforts....

 

[AEK]

What i am trying to accomplish wit hthis trigger is:

On map initialisation i want a sorceress to be created for each player who is controlled by a human, so that i wont have any unused sorceresses lying around the starting area for players who arent even in the game.

 

[Ghan]

You'll probably want to add a check that checks the Slot Status of the Picked Player.

Ah that worked, thanks for you help
