Quick question on null'ing effects.

[Inflicted]

For some reason I always return to this topic :/

Anyways, I know how to and would just like a brief clarification if this is necessary or not:

• Actions
  • Custom script: local effect e
  • Special Effect - Create a special effect...
  • Custom script: set e = GetLastCreatedEffectBJ()
  • Do stuff with effect blah blah...
  • Custom script: call DestroyEffectBJ(e)
  • Custom script: set e = null

I'm mainly looking at these lines:

Custom script: call DestroyEffectBJ(e)
Custom script: set e = null

Cool. Well I recall that Removing effects using the blue line will prevents leaks, but also clearing the local is concerning. Therefore I added the line in red.

Is that necessary or cause any problems?

Is necessary to prevent [ljass]local effect e[/ljass] to leak.

Also, DestroyEffectBJ -> DestroyEffect

Thank you for clarifying.
