Stub methods

[Kajik]

Hmm, this is realy weird.
I tried an example from jassHelper manual:

struct Parent

    stub method xx takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg("Parent")
    endmethod

    method doSomething takes nothing returns nothing
        call this.xx()
        call this.xx()
    endmethod

endstruct

struct ChildA extends Parent
    method xx takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg("- Child A -")
    endmethod
endstruct

struct ChildB extends Parent
    method xx takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg("- Child B --")
    endmethod
endstruct

function test takes nothing returns nothing
 local Parent P = Parent.create()
 local Parent A = ChildA.create()
 local Parent B = ChildB.create()
    //notice the variables are of the 'Parent' type.
    call P.doSomething() //Shows 'Parent' twice
    call A.doSomething() //Shows 'Child A' twice
    call B.doSomething() //Shows 'Child B' twice
endfunction

But it still raise an error

Unexpected: " xx takes nothing returns nothing"

What's wrong with stub methods, or how can I use them (because I realy need to overwrite parent methods). Thanks for any advices.

Try :

struct Big
    stub method test takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg("Big")
    endmethod
endstruct

struct Small extends Big
    method test takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg("Small")
    endmethod
endstruct

function gg takes nothing returns nothing
    local Big a = Big.create()
    local Small b = Small.create()

    call a.test() //Shows Big
    call b.test() //Shows Small
endfunction

Try :

struct Big
    stub method test takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg("Big")
    endmethod
endstruct

struct Small extends Big
    method test takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg("Small")
    endmethod
endstruct

function gg takes nothing returns nothing
    local Big a = Big.create()
    local Small b = Small.create()

    call a.test() //Shows Big
    call b.test() //Shows Small
endfunction

Exactly the same error (with "test" method)...

Also I am using JassHelper 0.9.E.0 if that helps.

0.9.E.0.. hmm, it is a very old version of jasshelper.
Try the newest version, 0.A.2.B.
Since wc3c.net is downed, try to download from here instead.

Instruction :
After extracting the rar file, copy all extracted files into your jasshelper folder in NewGen.
A window will pop up which prompts you whether you want to replace the file or not, press replace button to continue.
