Destroying Special Effects

[Dremora]

If im not mistaken creating special effects and not destroying them causes memory leaks, correct? So, with a trigger like this, how could I destroy the effects without stopping them from showing?

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 60, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Wait 0.50 seconds
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Random point in BlueRegion) using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrike1.mdl
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Random point in GreenRegion) using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrike1.mdl
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in BlueRegion) and do (Unit - Cause CastingUnitX to damage (Picked unit), dealing 1000.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in GreenRegion) and do (Unit - Cause CastingUnitX to damage (Picked unit), dealing 1000.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal)

Save them as a variable and delete them later?

 

[Dremora]

Hmmm, ya, that should work. My brain is not working right today.

For most effects, you can simply add a "Special effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)" right after creating them.
Dunno if it works too for that particular effect, but it's worth a try.

Ya, I tried that. Doesn't seem to work with flame strike, but works with the human building explosion, no idea why. Anyway, I guess i'll just have to use variables.

Prolly because the flamestrike effect takes a few seconds to complete it's animation.

That's strange. I've used Destroy Last Created Special Effect on Flame Strike and it worked.
