Units don't leak?

07-13-2009, 04:21 PM

Hey I recieved this quote just some minutes ago:

Quote:

BTW units DON'T leak.
Who ever told you that knows nothing of jass or memory leaks.
If units would leak there would be a call DestroyUnit() function and there isn't one.
Only thing you might be refering to is the nulling of the local units which is again a minor thing to do.

How much of this is true?

Rising_Dusk	Just because it doesn't have a DestroyUnit does not mean it doesn't leak..

Maybe you should re-read the quote you posted here, and see if it even makes sense

Edit: (Hint: It Doesn't)

Troll-Brain	In fact RemoveUnit is a fake function , it simply move the unit outside the map, but don't destroy it.

The units just eventually commit suicide, destroying themselves.
Therefore you do not need a "DestroyUnit" function :)

It usually happens approximately 88 seconds after the unit falls down, pretending to be dead. It may vary depending on the map.

well, i go sleep now, and i will test unit leaks.

map with only this code will run for night (8 hours)

JASS:

function MapCounterFoot takes nothing returns nothing
    if GetRandomInt(1,2) == 2 then
        if GetRandomInt(1,2) == 2 then
            call IssuePointOrder(CreateUnit(Player(1),'u001',0.0,10240.00,270.0), "attack",0.0,-10240.0)
        endif
        call IssuePointOrder(CreateUnit(Player(1),'u001',0.0,10240.00,270.0), "attack",0.0,-10240.0)
    else
        if GetRandomInt(1,2) == 2 then
            call IssuePointOrder(CreateUnit(Player(2),'u001',0.0,-10240.00,90.0), "attack",0.0,10240.0)
        endif
        call IssuePointOrder(CreateUnit(Player(2),'u001',0.0,-10240.0,90.00), "attack",0.0,10240.00)
    endif
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Units takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Units = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventPeriodic( gg_trg_Units, 1.00 )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Units, function MapCounterFoot )
endfunction

Viikuna-	I think grim001 said something like units "leak" even when they dont leak. That How to instantly set units facing -thread.
