Leak Question!!

[JuiceBox]

I just finished making a map but I found out too late that it is filled to the brim with leaks (points AND groups). I have about 8 events, each one has at least 5 point leaks, and at least 4/5 of my triggers have group leaks. My question is, how many leaks does it take to make my map lag/crash/etc? Do I have to fix ALL of the leaks or are there any very specific ones? And also, is there a chance that my map will work really fine without me taking out the leaks or at least some of it?

The more often a trigger is fired the more important it is to remove the leaks.

If you have leaks on triggers that run only once its not so important.

EDIT: TEST IT OUT. To see if it leaks to bad.

Here's what my map has:
Every 21:00, about 15 different zombies are spawned at random places in the map. After 5 minutes, 7 new zombies are added in the group that spawns every 21:00. After another 5 minutes, another 7 new zombies are added again in the spawns at night. Every 5 minutes, 7 new zombies are added in thr spawns. This goes on for 30 minutes. I also have 8 patrol guards that patrol to a region in the map. I have a trigger that changes the time of day to 18:00 every 6:00. Would this work fine if I keep the leaks?

Personnaly I think you will be fine, but others might think otherwise...

i've been working on the leaks and other problems with my code in my map for quite a while. i pretty much just procrastinate though when it comes to the end of game triggers, haha....

anyway, rather than using points and then fixing the point leaks, you should use reals which don't leak.

as for groups...lol i so rarely use them i'm not sure exactly what ways are best to deal with them.

"Every 21:00, about 15 different zombies are spawned at random places in the map."

are all the 15 zombies spawn at 1 single random place or 15 random places. If so u leak 15 points per 21 seconds
so then i think u should fix the leaks on spawn triggers

if you want the best map performance then remove them all. You never know how long a game could last. Long = lag and short = not noticable lag

It shouldn't be too tiresome with what you've said. There's a leak checker somewhere you could try finding that.

Each zombie is spawned in a random place. But it won't be just 15 zombies spawning all the time. Every 5 minutes, 7 new units are added so after 5 minutes, the next 21:00 there will be 22 units spawning at random places, then 5 minutes after that 29 zombies will spawn and so on...

The game ends in 45 minutes, by that time... at least 50 units will spawning at 21:00, EACH unit will be spawning at random places. Is this long enough?

I already know where the leaks are but since I forgot to manage them early on in the map making, they are stacked and now I'm too lazy to replace EACH one...
So I'm wondering, are there any KEY leaks that I can fix that will help my map greatly instead of fixing ALL the leaks?

It's too late for me to switch to Reals since my map is finished.

then remove the leak

well maybe you can save that kindof thing for version 2.0 or something.
