Item Removal

[Synthetics]

Hi peeps i hope all of you are well. What my problem is, is that items a randomly spwned/created in a region every 2 secs but i want the items that are created to be removed after 5 secs. The problem with the trigger i got here is it doens't work very well as it either instanly removes items or it removes them too quickly or doesnt at all.


Item Drops
Events
Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Set SMASH_TV_ITEMDROP = (Random integer number between 1 and 13)
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
SMASH_TV_ITEMDROP Equal to 1
Then - Actions
Item - Create Rune of Healing at (Random point in Smash TV Rune Spwing <gen>)
Wait 5.00 Seconds
Remove Last Created Item
Else - Actions
Do nothing
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

Any help would be very appreciated and thx 4 u're time

Well it's pretty simple but complicated to explain

It can create an item every 2 seconds. But it takes 5 seconds before the first item dissapears.

This means that there can be 2 items at the time one get's destroyed. Leaving the other behind, without being destroyed.

Try avoid using waits in periodic events triggers of which the periods are shorter then the wait.

Do you know another way that i could do it with the item spwning at the same interval rate? i tried making a dummy unit that had immolation that only affect items and that didn't work it'd only attack units. thanks for your input

Item_1 is an item variable.

    Events
        Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set SMASH_TV_ITEMDROP = (Random integer number between 1 and 13)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                SMASH_TV_ITEMDROP Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                Item - Create Rune of Healing at (Random point in (<you area>))
                Set Item_1 = (Last created item)
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing
        Wait 5.00 seconds
        Item - Remove Item_1

I'm sure you have to do something with vars, think this might work... I'm not that good at variable stuff...

yea but that won't work either because the variable will be set to the last created item means it will do the same as what he has and in this case u need mui which means u need to use some locals (jass)

    Events
        Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Custom script:    local item t
        Set SMASH_TV_ITEMDROP = (Random integer number between 1 and 13)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                SMASH_TV_ITEMDROP Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                Item - Create Rune of Healing at (Random point in (<you area>))
                Custom script:   set t = bj_lastCreatedItem  
            Else - Actions
        Wait 5.00 seconds
        Custom script:   call RemoveItem(t)
        Custom script:   set t = null

        Custom script:   call RemoveItem(t)
        Custom script:   set t = null

t is item variable or integer?

this great but exemple if in map have 200 last created item dont will be leaks? whats the amount when will be leakable?
