Local Variables

[Fatmankev]

Is there a way to use local variables for units without using custom code?

 

[Seannny]

Unfortunetly no, The wonders of jass seem to keep this from us Gui'ers

Not fully. You can do this, however.

Create a unit variable. I'll call mine SomeUnit.

Then, in your trigger, use this custom script as your first line:

Custom script: local unit udg_SomeUnit

Then use your unit like normal, but it will be local.

WARNING: This will not work in unit group loops, If conditions, or basically anything that creates another function when it's parsed into JASS.

You just referance the global variable cause in that function after you declare a global into a local it's just considered that- at least to my knowledge

No, not that i know of, GUI only uses global variables. But i may be wrong, i started on JASS and kinda skipped the whole GUI part.

I'm fairly certain this works. I think I tried it at some point.
It will be treated local assuming you don't try to use it outside the function in which it was declared.

Alright, I'll give that a shot when I get around to it. Thanks, Ghan.

Yes it works. It is in Tom Jone's MUI tut and it is found in many of Flare's posts.
