Quick question about special effect leakage

[Pender]

If you attach a special effect to a unit with a trigger, and then you remove the unit, did the effect leak, or did it get removed along with the unit? Do you have to remove it with a separate Destroy Special Effect command?

I'm not sure, but if you can, maybe you should remove the special effect just to be safe.

I agree. I always had this question too. But I always removed the effect. :thup:

I've tried testing it, but I couldn't register whether the effect was destroyed or not. So yes, destroy it in case. Some stuff may be hidden, but they might stay there and eat memory.

OK, thanks guys.

I just met this case. I am using a command that pick multiple unit and create special effect on them, and even after those unit died but their corpe is there so the effect is still running. I have to run a trigger to remove died unit from gameto stop those effect (it works).Of course I'll be happy to hear there's any method to remove buff better than this.

By the way. if i am picking multiple unit and create special effect on them how do I remove the special effect? "Destroy last created special effect" won't work and there's no much a variable called "special effect group" for me to throw all special effect into it.

Add them to a group and when you want call this group and remove the special effect.
