Discussion Coolest natives

[Bribe]

My favorite functions are:

[ljass]native UnitAlive takes unit id returns boolean[/ljass]
[ljass]native ExecuteFunc takes string funcName returns nothing[/ljass]

And I don't know why.

What are yours?

[ljass]native ExecuteFunc takes string funcName returns nothing[/ljass]
Has a cool name.

[ljass]native Cheat takes string cheatStr returns nothing[/ljass]


I don't know why too

 

[BlackRose]

[ljass]DoNothing()[/ljass]

 

[Sgqvur]

[ljass]GetLocalPlayer()[/ljass] and [ljass]EndGame[/ljass]

 

[Troll-Brain]

Definitely GetLocalPlayer, it allows cool stuff.
Btw this one is missing for starcraft 2, right ?

@BlackRose : Despite DoNothing is indeed useful, it is not a native function.

 

[Sgqvur]

>Btw this one([ljass]GetLocalPlayer()[/ljass]) is missing for starcraft 2, right

For now yes I think, also [ljass]ExecuteFunc()[/ljass] has no replacement?

 

[Azlier]

Well, it's much safer and usually faster to use a trigger and TriggerExecute over ExecuteFunc. Function interfaces also do the job.

 

[Bribe]

I beg to differ; using TriggerExecute is the bigger problem if you have a [ljass]TriggerSleepAction[/ljass] call, because all associated threads will stop. Right now, I'm usuing a condition which then calls [ljass]ExecuteFunc[/ljass], and that's its only purpose (it's a dynamic trigger with a wait period inside of it).

native UnitAlive takes unit id returns boolean

[Trollvottel]

CreateTrigger()

what would we do without it?

 

[Bribe]

[ljass]CreateTrigger()[/lJASS]
what would we do without it?

Noobs would still manage to crash the game.

 

[Hatebreeder]

[ljass] Preload( String ) [/ljass]

Is my favourite :3

[ljass]native KillUnit takes unit whichUnit returns nothing[/ljass]

The possibilities are endless

 

[BlackRose]

Eh. Same idea I guess: "Favourite function / native". Anyways:

[ljass]native And takes boolexpr operandA, boolexpr operandB returns boolexpr[/ljass]

You serious?

 

[Troll-Brain]

Probably not, but for special cases this is handy sometimes.
