Since I'm trying to learn JASS, i decided to try and make a very, very simple system to help me learn.

But I get a lot of errors...

JASS:
function Makebig takes trackable A, returns nothing
    if
      A == trackable[1]
      then
      SetUnitScale(unit[1],1.50,1.50,1.50)
      else
      SetUnitScale(unit[2],1.50,1.50,1.50)
      endif
endfunction

function InitTrig_HeroSelection takes nothing returns nothing
    set trackable[1] = CreateTrackable ("", 100.00,100.00,0.00)
    set trackable[2] = CreateTrackable ("", 200.00,100.00,0.00)
    set unit[1] = CreateUnit (12,hkni,100.00,100.00,90.00)
    set unit[2] = CreateUnit (12,hrif,200.00,100.00,90.00)
    set gg_trg_hover = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterTrackableTrackEvent(gg_trg_hover, trackable[1])
    call TriggerRegisterTrackableTrackEvent(gg_trg_hover, trackable[2])
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_hover, function Makebig(GetTriggeringTrackable())
endfunction


What have i done wrong?
I'm rubbish at JASS, please remember this when commenting.

Edit: I just realized i didn't have my variables :p
I made unit. How do I make Trackable or Handle Variables? (Globals)

Edit Again:
Maybe i should try simpler things first :)
 
global variables must have a udg_ prefix or you have to use a local variable like:
local trackable array t
set t[1] = CreateTrackable()

Unit rawcodes should have '' around them.

You can't pass variables like this:
call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_hover, function Makebig(GetTriggeringTrackable())
GetTriggeringTrackable() already exists in the called function.

Forgot about the prefix :p
I don't want to use a local trackable.
I want to know how to make a global one :) (Handle or the likes) (if its possible)

What should I do instead for
JASS:
call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_hover, function Makebig(GetTriggeringTrackable())
?
 
I don't think there are such things as global trackables

But you can try looking for it in Variables
 
I don't think there is a way to make global trackables, I think they only work for 1 player.

Trackables work for all players, but there is no way to figure out what player that triggered the trackable event so you usually create one trackable per player and attach the player to the trackable or to the trigger.
 
You can't just declare it in globals tags? (vJass)

globals
trackable array t
englobals

I was thinking that, but i wanted someone to post it... so i know its right :)
 
Lets check the all the .j files that blizzard has in JASSCraft we are bound to find something there?

Or We should....is it in the variable table where you make new variables and set them to Unit,Player, etc?

You can always do this:

JASS:
function Makebig takes trackable A, returns nothing
    if A == trackable[1] then
        call SetUnitScale(unit[1],1.50,1.50,1.50)
    else
        call SetUnitScale(unit[2],1.50,1.50,1.50)
    endif
endfunction

function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call MakeBig(GetTriggeringTrackable())
endfunction

function InitTrig_HeroSelection takes nothing returns nothing
    set trackable[1] = CreateTrackable ("", 100.00,100.00,0.00)
    set trackable[2] = CreateTrackable ("", 200.00,100.00,0.00)
    set unit[1] = CreateUnit (12,'hkni',100.00,100.00,90.00)
    set unit[2] = CreateUnit (12,'hrif',200.00,100.00,90.00)
    set gg_trg_hover = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterTrackableTrackEvent(gg_trg_hover, trackable[1])
    call TriggerRegisterTrackableTrackEvent(gg_trg_hover, trackable[2])
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_hover, function Actions)
endfunction


Then put the rest of the actions in the "Actions" function.

In code parameters, you can have nothing but "function FUNCNAME".

;)

Yes, you can create global trackables. You can create a global for any variable type.

  • The Helper The Helper:
    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done
    +1
  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
