PurgeandFire said:
You forgot to destroy the group. Else, good job on the coding and visual effects.

Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

It's supposed to automatically destroy it, part of the ForGroupBJ function:

Code:
function ForGroupBJ takes group whichGroup, code callback returns nothing
    // If the user wants the group destroyed, remember that fact and clear
    // the flag, in case it is used again in the callback.
    local boolean wantDestroy = bj_wantDestroyGroup
    set bj_wantDestroyGroup = false

    call ForGroup(whichGroup, callback)

    // If the user wants the group destroyed, do so now.
    if (wantDestroy) then
        call DestroyGroup(whichGroup)
    endif
endfunction

Code:
Set TEMP_Group = (Units within 400.00 of TEMP_Point1 matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Attacking unit))) Equal to True))
Isn't it considered as a leak since you set the unit group? Not sure myself.

That was the reason I set the group, so I could destroy it and remove the leak :p

If your going set the group to a variable then use call DestroyGroup.

The function does it.

Code:
function ForGroupBJ takes group whichGroup, code callback returns nothing
    // If the user wants the group destroyed, remember that fact and clear
    // the flag, in case it is used again in the callback.
    local boolean wantDestroy = bj_wantDestroyGroup
    set bj_wantDestroyGroup = false

    call ForGroup(whichGroup, callback)

    // If the user wants the group destroyed, do so now.
    if (wantDestroy) then
        [B]call DestroyGroup(whichGroup)[/B]
    endif
endfunction

Erm, no, it doesn't. It leaks.

I never said it leaks but your better off not setting it to a variable or use call destroy. Its faster.
The two options:
Code:
                Set TEMP_Group = (Units within 400.00 of TEMP_Point1 matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Attacking unit))) Equal to True))
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in TEMP_Group and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 60.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_TEMP_Point1)
                Custom script:   call DestroyGroup (udg_TEMP_Group)
            Else - Actions
Code:
                Custom script:   set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
                Unit Group - Pick every unit (Units within 400.00 of TEMP_Point1 matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Attacking unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 60.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_TEMP_Point1)
            Else - Actions

Yes it does...

Here is the Converted JASS of the function.

Code:
function Trig_Enflame_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped('A001', GetAttacker()) > 0 ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Enflame_Func001Func008002003 takes nothing returns boolean
    return ( IsPlayerEnemy(GetOwningPlayer(GetFilterUnit()), GetOwningPlayer(GetAttacker())) == true )
endfunction

function Trig_Enflame_Func001Func010A takes nothing returns nothing
    call UnitDamageTargetBJ( GetAttacker(), GetEnumUnit(), 60.00, ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_FIRE )
endfunction

function Trig_Enflame_Func001C takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetRandomInt(1, 100) <= ( GetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped('A001', GetAttacker()) * 5 ) ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Enflame_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    if ( Trig_Enflame_Func001C() ) then
        set udg_TEMP_Point1 = GetUnitLoc(GetAttacker())
        call PlaySoundOnUnitBJ( gg_snd_Enflame, 100, GetAttacker() )
        call AddSpecialEffectTargetUnitBJ( "origin", GetAttacker(), "Objects\\Spawnmodels\\Other\\NeutralBuildingExplosion\\NeutralBuildingExplosion.mdl" )
        call DestroyEffectBJ( GetLastCreatedEffectBJ() )
        set bj_forLoopAIndex = 1
        set bj_forLoopAIndexEnd = 8
        loop
            exitwhen bj_forLoopAIndex > bj_forLoopAIndexEnd
            set udg_TEMP_Real = ( 45.00 * I2R(GetForLoopIndexA()) )
            set udg_TEMP_Point2 = PolarProjectionBJ(udg_TEMP_Point1, 16.00, udg_TEMP_Real)
            set udg_TEMP_Point3 = PolarProjectionBJ(udg_TEMP_Point1, 200.00, udg_TEMP_Real)
            call CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1, 'n000', GetOwningPlayer(GetAttacker()), udg_TEMP_Point2, udg_TEMP_Real )
            call SetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped( 'A000', GetLastCreatedUnit(), GetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped('A001', GetAttacker()) )
            call UnitApplyTimedLifeBJ( 2.00, 'BTLF', GetLastCreatedUnit() )
            call IssuePointOrderLocBJ( GetLastCreatedUnit(), "clusterrockets", udg_TEMP_Point3 )
            call RemoveLocation (udg_TEMP_Point2)
            call RemoveLocation (udg_TEMP_Point3)
            set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex + 1
        endloop
        call RemoveLocation (udg_TEMP_Point1)
        set udg_TEMP_Point1 = GetUnitLoc(GetAttacker())
        set udg_TEMP_Group = GetUnitsInRangeOfLocMatching(400.00, udg_TEMP_Point1, Condition(function Trig_Enflame_Func001Func008002003))
        [B]set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        call ForGroupBJ( udg_TEMP_Group, function Trig_Enflame_Func001Func010A )[/B]
        call RemoveLocation (udg_TEMP_Point1)
    else
    endif
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Enflame takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Enflame = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Enflame, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ATTACKED )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Enflame, Condition( function Trig_Enflame_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Enflame, function Trig_Enflame_Actions )
endfunction

As you can see, the pick every unit in unit group is run by the ForGroupBJ function:

Code:
call ForGroupBJ( udg_TEMP_Group, function Trig_Enflame_Func001Func010A )

Code:
function ForGroupBJ takes group whichGroup, code callback returns nothing
    // If the user wants the group destroyed, remember that fact and clear
    // the flag, in case it is used again in the callback.
    [B]local boolean wantDestroy = bj_wantDestroyGroup
    set bj_wantDestroyGroup = false[/B]

    call ForGroup(whichGroup, callback)

    [B]// If the user wants the group destroyed, do so now.
    if (wantDestroy) then
        call DestroyGroup(whichGroup)[/B]
    endif
endfunction

The function then runs the callback, and since I set the bj_wantDestroyGroup to true just before running the Pick every units..., it is destroyed.

However, this method of destroying a group only works when it uses the ForGroupBJ function, since it has the preference embedded in the function.

I see that quite a few things have changed in the mapping world since I left and came back.

http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=84524&highlight=destroy

I've always thought you had to set the variable, and use the set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

I guess not, thanks. Working on it now.

(I did make this ability for myself originally, before I temporarily quit mapping. That's one of the reasons some things are not that great).

Don't worry about it. Just trying to help a fellow coming back to moding and mapping.

Edit:(Attacking unit) should be set to a variable because every time you use that it has to do the event response thing which is slower and inefficient.

Yeah. You can either use bj_wantDestroyGroup or just destroy it manually.

If you use a global variable, it does still destroy it. As long as you use the global variable as the argument.

I didn't see any bj_wantDestroy when I first looked at the code. Sorry. :D

Thats cause it has been changed and why you don't understand what we talking about.
