Triggers - Memory Leaks and Custom Scripts

[vypur85]

call RemoveUnit (udg_YOURUNIT)

The above code is similar to the GUI version of 'Unit - Remove Unit'. Doing this will completely remove the unit from the game.

In GUI, unit variable does not leak. It does not require removal. You can still null it though, but it's not necessary. (Custom Script: Set YourVariable = null)


> it needs more destroy scripts

The tutorial has already taken care of most (or all) of the possible leaks in GUI. There are no more other destroy scripts that are necessary (as far as I know).

Do Z-offsets in floating texts cause leaks? i.e.:

• Actions
  • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (asdf) at temp_loc with Z offset 20.00, using font size.....

Is there a leak in there? (I remove temp_loc)


Do floating texts above units leak?:

• Actions
  • Floating Text - Create a floating text that reads (ASDF) above (Unit) with Z offset 0.00.......

 

[Azlier]

Z offset doesn't leak.

Floating text does indeed leak if you don't disable permanency and give it a lifespan. But that's pretty much it.

 

[TwoHeadedBoy]

So things attached to units (floating texts, special effects) dont leak (as long as you remove the effect)? Only ones that are created at a point?

 

[Azlier]

Nothing leaks if you remove it :nuts:. Except groups, but that's another subject.

This is nice thx for the help

 

[Twisty]

now i read it about 3 times, and i understand it all just got a little problem i think its leaking:
Set Temp_Group = (units of type Wisp)
Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_Group and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
(Terrain type at (Position of (Picked unit))) Equal to Felwood - Vines

How do i make a condition unleaking?

Regions Leak

Could you please tell me how to fix a Region Leak??

 

[Zetrix91]

i have a question about this trigger

• Special Effect Good 2
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Temp_Point = (Center of (Playable map area))
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Temp_Point using Abilities\Spells\Undead\UnholyAura\UnholyAura.mdl
        • Set Temp_SFX[(Integer A)] = (Last created special effect)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Special Effect - Destroy Temp_SFX[(Integer A)]

How do u use the [(Integer A)] in a variable so that u can multi store the special effects

Set Temp_SFX"[(Integer A)]" = (Last created special effect)
^
This part
do i just set the variable name to: "VariableName[(Integer A)]

 

[Gtam]

It need an array to do that

i don't think regions leak...you're probably just confusing them with points.

Regions thats not preplaced leaks

 

[Thedreadlord]

Yeah very nice and terribly usefull tutorial!Awsome thanks for the advices and tips.There is just one thing i didn't understand in one of your replys;How to deal with Array leaks like one already asked before but i didn't understand how to and where to add the [#] like you said.

 

[Thedreadlord]

Regions thats not preplaced leaks

So can we place regions with trigger ?If no which i am sure of then how can a region not be preplaced in the Editor

 

[NeosDany]

if i have a unit group with an array , how may I imput the destroy group code ? like set units in playable map area owned by player 12 = temp_unit_group ( array 1 )

 

[Gtam]

call DestoyGroup(udg_group[1]) like that

you can pretend to have regions by using reals. don't really need regions most of the time.

when I use call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point) It won't work it gives an error

Line 28: Invalid argument type (rect)
Line 31: Expected a code statement (rect)

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
set udg_Temp_Point = gg_rct_Region_Start
call CreateNUnitsAtLocFacingLocBJ( 1, 'nspr', Player(11), GetRandomLocInRect(udg_Temp_Point), GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()) )
call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)
endfunction


I didn't use jass it just gave me that
