i hope some of this helps.


P.s this is not for rep and the reason for this is so people like 'xxseerxx' also known as 'Warravan' which i know in warcraft can post there troubles.
if you have a comment which is not productive Don't post it.
If you find a leak ect post corrections.

i will not answer straight away at friends place.

Most inefficent triggers. Ok they work. But, these are worse than the examples ALREADY given on this site in the tutorials sections and in the free trigger code section.

Your unit group trigger leaks. As does your sliding trigger. And some of the others.

"...People like 'xxseerxx' also known as 'Warravan'" can go to the Tutorials and free trigger section. That's what those forums are set up for.

That's some redundant code... and you are the first person I know that calls delete on a global variable without doing anything to it after.

i know the unit group thing leaks but only on once at Initialization. right?

sliding not though if it does where? i would like to fix lol cause i use it.

I'd love to help with any problems anyone has... what i say may not be efficiant but it gives u the idear.

Yep, globals are impossible to leak unless you move the pointer elsewhere (Don't tell me Blizzard did that... I'll be very sad)

call RemoveLocation(udg_SLIDE[1])

put the remove thing in a for loop.

 

[Evote]

ok

yer is that last sliding one better..?

"...People like 'xxseerxx' also known as 'Warravan'" can go to the Tutorials and free trigger section. That's what those forums are set up for.

This is also for questions from people. but thanks for the constructive comment.

just as a stupid question whats the difference between loop for interga a and b?

 

[toast]

just as a stupid question whats the difference between loop for interga a and b?

There is none, they just use separate indexes (A, B) so you can have a loop within a loop (you could use two A loops, but that would throw the whole thing out of whack. Then again, there are a few rare cases in which that method is useful).

 

[Evote]

thanks

Humm any people want help yet lol i want to help!!

[Tonks]

What is it with these threads? What do you think the WE Help Zone is for? So people can post their problems and get help. Why do you need a thread on it? So you can score some +rep?

 

[turok255]

Yep.. Hmm... Ahh.. Okay then,
1)triggers leak
2)your getting more help from this thread than you are giving (witch is none)
3)thats why there is a WE help zone... Dur...
4)Nice try but this is pointless as to there is a whole forum based around this
