Joker	What else contributes to the number excluding local vars? globals?

Vexorian	local vars and globals don't really contribute to the number...

Joker	Then what does?

Rising_Dusk	Handle creation, obviously.

Joker	How do you get the number lower? Mine starts out with ~3000 then jumps ~200 everytime something happens.

Rising_Dusk	Well a buttload of handles are created in blizzard.j, so you can't get rid of those. To get it to jump less, create fewer handles.

Joker	If a unit dies, does the handle count stay the same?

Captain Griffen	Depends. Did you null locals properly? If you null locals properly, then the handle count will be the number of handles in the game (which includes leaks).

Leopard	My map has about 8k handles and they keep increasing..though im sure my spells are fine ?? My map includes a lot of systems: CSS, ABC, ABCT, Knockback system, PUI,...

Captain Griffen	Most likely leaks. Either handle leaks (not destroying properly) or handle index leaks (not nulling properly).
