Noob questions

Do I have to flush and destroy that timer manualy (or other possible struct variables) or s.destroy() clears whole struct and all it's variabes?
You are doing unrecommended thing, use TimerUtils instead.
NewTimer() -> Get a new timer
ReleaseTimer(timer) -> Call this when you are finished with the timer.
SetTimerData(timer,integer) -> Attach data to timer
GetTimerData(timer) -> Return attached data.

wait wat wait!
IF I start a timer, it ends, I start again, it ends, I start again, it ends, I start again, it ends, I start again, it ends...

does it cause memory leak?

Uhm. If you mean:

[ljass]PauseTimer()[/ljass]
[ljass]TimerStart()[/ljass]

Over and over, how will it cause a leak?

I'm pretty sure TimerStart has a boolean that controls whether a timer is periodic or not.

Absolutely not. When you issue a unit a "move" and a "stop" order, does it cause a memory leak? "move" and "stop" is to unit what "TimerStart" and "PauseTimer" are to timer. You aren't allocating objects to do those tasks like the allocation/deallocation found in CreateTimer/DestroyTimer.

I also have newbie question:
If I use only one unit group in all triggers, and just clear after use but not destroy, will it leak?

 

[Bribe]

It will not leak, but I recommend you never add units to the group to begin with. Instead of:

GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g, x, y, 300.0, null)
ForGroup(g, function Enum)
//
function Enum takes nothing returns nothing
    KillUnit(GetEnumUnit())
endfunction

do:

GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g, x, y, 300.0, Filter(function Filt))
//
function Filt takes nothing returns boolean
    KillUnit(GetFilterUnit())
    return false
endfunction

Too much cJass >.>

You need the word call

 

[Bribe]

The precedence is messed up, there are no g,x,y definitions, no source function definition, I just gave the elements. Also, I use Zinc; cJass is broke
