Custom script leak removal for an array

Hi there,
I'm making a map involving the control of very large numbers of units and to make things easier for players I've handily supplied them with a "Game Controls" unit that has abilities to select all the units in an area into a custom unit-group, and then other abilities will be used to command the units in this unit-group.
But to remove leaks I need to destroy the unit group every time the player uses the ability to set a new one.. But it's an array, with one for each player.

A GUI trigger doing what I need would look something like:
Event:
Unit uses selection ability
Action:
For each intiger from 1 to (number of players)
- if player (player number [loop intiger value]) = player number (owner of triggering unit) then:
- - Custom script destoy Player_Selection[player number of (owner of triggering unit)]
- - set Player_Selection[player number of (owner of triggering unit)]: the new group


So how would the script look like for that bit in bold?

to Efficienize what Romek said (Efficienize? Nice huh) Instead of GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) You can just use GetTriggerPlayer()

OK oops, found my mistake. I Just copied&paste the previously pro-offered script, but didnt notice the variable was PlayerSelection not Player_Selection

Here's the relevant part of the trigger anyway, just to make sure if it'll work:

Trigger:
  • Game Controls
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • -------- Select all in 700 AoE --------
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Ability being cast) Equal to Select Units
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in PlayerSelection[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] and do (Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from PlayerSelection[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])
          • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_PlayerSelection[GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())) + 1])
          • Set temp_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
          • Set PlayerSelection[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Units within 700.00 of temp_Point matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Not equal to True) and ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Triggering unit)))))
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_Point)
        • Else - Actions


I removed every unit from the group as well... I'm not sure if that is neccessary or if it'll just cause unneeded lag?

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
