Question on Memory Leaks

[Mindless]

Hi everyone,

A quick question: does this leak?

Set LCPoint = (Position of Triggering Unit) offset by 15 in direction of (facing angle of Triggering Unit)
Unit - Move Triggering Unit to LCPoint Instantly
Custom Script - call RemoveLocation(udg_LCPoint)

Do I need to create a variable to store the Position of the Triggering Unit and clean it? Like:

Set LCPoint1 = (Position of Triggering Unit)
Set LCPoint2 = LCPoint1 offset by 15 in direction of (facing angle of Triggering Unit)
Unit - Move Triggering Unit to LCPoint2 Instantly
Custom Script - call RemoveLocation(udg_LCPoint1)
Custom Script - call RemoveLocation(udg_LCPoint2)

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. It's really essential this peice doesn't leak, because I'll be running this trigger twenty times every second for every active player.

[del]But I do not believe you have to, since you're destroying the location in the end anyways.[/del] It does leak, they're two different positions.
[del]Haven't worked with GUI in a while though, so wait for someone who knows 100% [/del]

The first one does leak.
(Position of Triggering Unit) returns one location. Then Position with Offset returns another. You need to destroy them both.

Yeah I already read that tutorial; it's what started me getting concerned about memory leaks in the first place. However, even in the examples, there's not one that addresses my case: I have a set variable trigger line that has potential leaks. So still the question, does it leak?

EDIT: sorry, left the Helper Forum web page hanging for way too long! I was replying to WolfieeifloW. It was after I hit the reply button that I saw Romek's post. Thanks.

Ah yes.
Good thing you did wait for someone else to reply
