why do you need custom script therefor?

by setting the variable to a building, it removes the old one..

so techniqually it is removing it when you set it, if thats what your trying to ask.

but i think arrays work the same when trying to clear them, just add a [] to the end. im not 100% sure tho, but i think it would be like:

Custom Script: set udg_Building[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = null

although if you are going to set it again, then i gues there is no need to clear it.

other ppl saying that is not... they saying it's still in the memory and that causing a memory leak....

no..... it is something like

set udg_Building[GetPlayerId(GetTriggerUnit())] = null

globals variable are always replaceable, so you don't need to null it... also... unit don't leak... the only global variable which you need to destroy is Special Effect, Point, Player Group (be afraid with this) and Unit Group...

no global variable need to be nulled

forces and rects leak as well as floating texts do.


what you have to keep in mind is the following, things leak which you create by setting the variable.

for example:
if you set a unit variable you will not create a new unit, you will just tell the computer that some unit on the map is linked to that variable.
but if you set a unit group variable you are creating a new group which hasnt been there before.
when you re-set the unit variable there will still be the same amount of units in the game, if you re-set the unit group variable there will be created another group and the first one will stay forever on.
