Group Variables vs Memory Leak

I am using a Player Group variable.

Each mini game, the group is defined as all players currently playing, and controlled by a user.

Then I use the group to create units, pan cameras, and award gold.

At the end of each game, I clear the group.

Do I still have to use:
call DestroyGroup (GetLastCreatedGroup())

if I am using a variable this way?

No because only things that aren't variables leak unless you never use the variable again.

Thanks much.

(Your sig - I havn't used FF much yet, but I did switch to Thunderbird. Although it has some querks in server settings, I am pretty pleased with its overal package. I went from 78 spam emails a day to about 5. Two thumbs up.)

I just fear that the way you use it does not reuse the group you already have but overwrites it with a new one instead. In that case you got a leak again.

I am doing this each round.

Set Game_Players = (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Equal to User) and (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing)))

Then this in all the games.

Player Group - Pick every player in Game_Players and do (Actions)

Then when done, this.

Player Group - Remove all players from Game_Players

Over and over and over.

I guess you could use a loop (For each integer) instead of picking. That don't leaks as far as i know.

As I thought. It does leak as All players matching ... creates a new player group that then overwrites the old player group leaking it. So you should destroy the player group before overwriting it.

Which group do I destroy, my variable group, or 'Last Created Group', and when?

Hey, thanks too.
