TList Local scope

ok, here my question,
Missile is created in FireMissile method in SpaceShip TYPE (Local Missile:). after that method FireMissile is finished, isn't that Missile object is deleted? because it's declare Local? and why it's left in GameObjectList:Tlist in global?

Global GameObjectList:TList

Type TMissile Extends TGameObject
    Function Create:TMissile()
        Local Ship::TMissile=New :TMissile
        ListAddLast GameObjectList, Ship       
        Return Ship
    End Function
End Type

Type SpaceShip
   Method FireMissile()
         If MissileDelay<0
     ----->>>>> Local Missile:TMissile=TMissile.Create()
            MissileDelay=10
         End If
    End Method    
End Type 

no it will never be destroyed. Its put into the list, so unless you remove it from the list again it will not die.

Because you now have a reference to the Object in the TList. As long as there's a reference to it, it will never be Garbage Collected.

Like what Dream said as I was typing this... :-p

Because you put it in the linked list. Until you remove it from the linked list, it will never be freed.

I just wanted to be cool.

thanks.
got it.

to be a bit more explanatory, your only ever dealing with references to objects. so long as there is a reference, the object will still exist. you cannot destroy anything without destroying its references. Its actually quite useful that way.
