Quick Leak question

As the title say just a quick leak question.
I just got back to work on an extremely old little project, which is extremely large and I noticed a ton of:
"Game - Display to (All players matching (owner of x) is equal to (matching player) etc..) for x secs the text "x" "

This look to me like it obviously has a player group leak, but I find it odd that there would be so many of these when I was so careful with every other kind of leak.

Maybe I was told that it does not in the past and because of this I did not bother tending to these leaks?
So I wonder, is there some reason this specific situation does not leak?

Any and all help is much welcome ^^





Short Version:

Does "Game - Display to (All players matching (owner of x) is equal to (matching player) etc..) for x secs the text "x" " Leak ?

Yes, it leaks a player group. Also its far too complicated for what you want. There is only 1 owner of a unit, so an enumeration with "Matching Player" is not needed.
I would suggest creating a playerGroup array where each entry in the array holds a playerGroup with exactly 1 player, the player with the same index as the array entry. Then you can use the number of the player as an index into the array to get a player group for that player. This doesnt leak and should be pretty fast.

Thanks for the extremely prompt and very helpful response ^^.

And the suggested method sounds like a much better way of handling it.
Sadly with over 1400 triggers to sort through now, finding out this leaks is some terrible new to say the least.

Regardless, very glad to see you guys are just as active and helpful as ever here at thehelper ^^

Not quite. There is nothing going on in these forums anymore, you were just lucky I happened to come by just now.

Its simple, wc3 is old and theres not many people left who still care about it. You might think its sad but its just the natural way that all things go. First they become old, and then they die.

But don't you worry good folk! Legacy of the Void will be released soon and Blizzard's RTS team will be free for the first time in 12-13 years to start another project. So for the first time there is an actual realistic chance to hear news of Warcraft 4, and perhaps it will arrive with a brand new world editor. Of course if this is the case, it's going to be released in like 2022 or something, but anyway...

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
