Will this leak?

[XeNiM666]

I know this is a noob-ish question but if I create a unit, give it an expiration timer and attach an effect to it via AddSpecialEffectTarget, will the effect leak?

Yes. Yes it will.

Use the squeezing method.

call DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffectTarget(..))

It does not leak and no need to remove leak. XD

generally yes, it will leak..
you will have to store the effect in some (most likely global) variable and destroy the effect when its not needed anymore ..
Or you use some of the systems which are around for timed effects ...


kingkingyyk3's method wont leak, however it will only show the death animation of the effect for a short time ...

Oh ok, just curious.
