bj_wantDestroyGroup

[Guard]

I was just curious... what exactly does this boolean do? I know its a memory cleanup var (saw that in Blizzard.j), but what exactly is it cleaning up and what benefits do you get from setting it?

Setting it to true just before using a "pick every unit", will clean up the unit group.
Actually, it will "clean" whatever unit-group is "picked" anywhere after it is set to true...

There is, however, a "clean unit-group" command that is preferred.

What do you mean by "clean up group"? Do you mean check if the units in the group are still alive and if not take them out of the group or something?

 

[AceHart]

Clean up as in "prevent a memory leak".

Do a serach on "leak" here. You'll find the weirdest posts...

Basically, any time you use a Pick Every Unit action and use a function (not a variable) for the parameter, you could benefit by setting bj_wantDestroyGroup to true beforehand.
