My First Jass System... Help

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.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
