Gui custom script leakage stopping

[MoonRazer]

wow that title is weird...

ok i am seeing alot of custom script put into GUI and it mostly contains stuff like set variable to null or remove location. now i am trying to convert to jass one step at a time. so i am putting custom script into my triggers more often. when would i want to put in the "destroy variable value thing". just curious guys

'Destroy variable value'?

If you mean like stopping the standard leaks that even occur with globals such as point leaks and whatnot, you use those when your done using a certain variable value.

If you mean nulling a local thats generally done at the end of a function.

When you have finished using it.

So normally, when you are not using handle variables anymore you would expect for your computer to destroy that variable (since you are not using it anymore). But the reality is, you have to tell the computer to destroy that handle variable (it wouldn't do it automatically). That's basically the use of "destroy variable value thing"

btw, handle variables means variables which are not an integer, real, boolean, or string
