ds_map_destroy

Destroys a given map permanently, removing it from memory.

Syntax:

ds_map_destroy(id);


Argument Description
id The id of the map to destroy.


Returns: N/A.


Description

Ds_maps take up space in memory, which is allocated to them when they are created. This means that you also need to free this memory when the ds_map is not needed to prevent errors, memory leaks and loss of performance when running your game. This function does just that.


Example:

ds_map_destroy(inventory);

The above code will destroy the ds_map with the id indexed in the variable "inventory".
