Little help with jass :)

Hey, i decided to start jass, and can someone give me a quick guide on how to create a trigger with an event - map init?
please
Confuuuuuuused

Event - map ini

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_001 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions )
endfunction

There is no event called 'Map Initialization', the GUI one is just fake ^^
When you have converted your 'trigger' to custom script check the box 'Run on Map Initialization', it's to the right of the box 'Enabled'.

Fake? What do you mean?

There is no real event named Map Initialization, what the GUI 'event' realy does is to put a line in the maps RunInitializationTriggers function, which is called by the main function of the map.

function RunInitializationTriggers takes nothing returns nothing
    call ConditionalTriggerExecute( gg_trg_Melee_Initialization )
endfunction

function main takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetCameraBounds( -3328.0 + GetCameraMargin(CAMERA_MARGIN_LEFT), -3584.0 + GetCameraMargin(CAMERA_MARGIN_BOTTOM), 3328.0 - GetCameraMargin(CAMERA_MARGIN_RIGHT), 3072.0 - GetCameraMargin(CAMERA_MARGIN_TOP), -3328.0 + GetCameraMargin(CAMERA_MARGIN_LEFT), 3072.0 - GetCameraMargin(CAMERA_MARGIN_TOP), 3328.0 - GetCameraMargin(CAMERA_MARGIN_RIGHT), -3584.0 + GetCameraMargin(CAMERA_MARGIN_BOTTOM) )
    call SetDayNightModels( "Environment\\DNC\\DNCLordaeron\\DNCLordaeronTerrain\\DNCLordaeronTerrain.mdl", "Environment\\DNC\\DNCLordaeron\\DNCLordaeronUnit\\DNCLordaeronUnit.mdl" )
    call NewSoundEnvironment( "Default" )
    call SetAmbientDaySound( "LordaeronSummerDay" )
    call SetAmbientNightSound( "LordaeronSummerNight" )
    call SetMapMusic( "Music", true, 0 )
    call InitBlizzard(  )
    call InitGlobals(  )
    call InitCustomTriggers(  )
    call RunInitializationTriggers(  )

endfunction

If you just want to run the script on 'Map Initialization' then you can do this instead, and this is much better AFAIK:
(Example on the Melee_Initialization trigger)

function Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call MeleeStartingVisibility(  )
    call MeleeStartingHeroLimit(  )
    call MeleeGrantHeroItems(  )
    call MeleeStartingResources(  )
    call MeleeClearExcessUnits(  )
    call MeleeStartingUnits(  )
    call MeleeStartingAI(  )
    call MeleeInitVictoryDefeat(  )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Melee_Initialization takes nothing returns nothing
   call ExecuteFunc("Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions")
endfunction

This will not create a trigger object, saving memory and execution time.

Now I get it.
