Ok, I know what a leak is. I just want to clarify something. My question is do either of these leak?

Set PointN = (Position of X)

Unit - Create 1 (Missle) for Player 1 (Red) at (PointN offset by (Random real number between 400.00 and 1200.00) towards (Random real number between 1.00 and 360.00) degrees) facing Default building facing degrees

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PointN)

Or

Set PointN = ((Position of (X)) offset by (Random real number between 400.00 and 1200.00) towards (Random real number between 1.00 and 360.00) degrees)

Unit - Create 1 (Missle) for Player 1 (Red) at PointN facing Default building facing degrees

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PointN)

I don't believe they do o_O. If so, which is the right way to do it?
 
Neither is correct. They both leak.

The way to do it is:

Set Point_1 = Position of (X)
Set Point_2 = Point_1 Offset by...
Do Stuff (probably using Point_2)
call RemoveLocation (udg_Point_1)
call RemoveLocation (udg_Point_2)

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
