Locust Unit

[~GaLs~]

Do a locust skilled unit need to be remove after they're dead?

I've been seeing people doing these:

scope RemoveDummies

private function Cond takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetTriggerUnit(),'Aloc')>=1
endfunction

private function Act takes nothing returns nothing
    //call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call RemoveUnit(GetTriggerUnit())
endfunction

function InitTrig_Remove_Dummies takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Remove_Dummies = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(gg_trg_Remove_Dummies,EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH)
    call TriggerAddCondition(gg_trg_Remove_Dummies,Condition(function Cond))
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_Remove_Dummies,function Act)
endfunction

endscope

>>shouldnt this be in jass help?
I think this isn't scripting problem, but.. I've no idea.

>>i tot adding a expiration timer is good enouigh...
I believed in that too.

Dummies (as with every other unit) will inevtiably decay, there's no real need to remove them after they die - you can set their Death Type in the Object Editor to Can't Raise, Doesn't Decay, and they should be automatically removed fairly quickly I think

but dont forget to null the local variable...
You most likely will have a local variable for it, in the function where you create the dummy.

Ok thanks.

*Every units in removed from the game once they've finished their death animation.
(Or finished the decay period if there's a decay)
