[QUOTE="Xeirh, post: 82418, member: 201981"] nothing complicated about that, arrays use twice as much memory, you have to undefine parent also to restore the memory. destroy automatically undefines the element, array = 1 parent, contents = 1 child, destroy = +1 child, but now you have to manually undefine the parent to restore the memory. not using arrays is a lot cleaner and faster and they have to get indexed every time. [CODE=cpp] destroy_all( array ) { // no reason for the array to be undefined so skip the statement foreach( x, key in getarraykeys( array ) ) { if( !isdefined( array[ key ] ) ) continue; self destroy_element( array[ key ] ); } array = undefined; // memory restored, this might runtime array ref depending on the compiler }[/CODE] and if you're worried about a handful of destroy_elements, just use a non-localized array and combine or add to and for loop destroy.
