Notice: From now on classes will be posted once a week on Friday, I'm simply too busy now. As always, private massages will be sent to everyone when a new class is posted.

with 8 lessons it would take months for this to end ,
coulndt you give lessons a bit more often? (or is that too much)

i shouldnt have said that

>Here we are in the 3ed lesson
thired? (*cough* third! *cough*)

Everyone knows English isn't Kenny's first language, so don't be rude about it. Just make a quick comment on the correction.

 

[IKilledKEnny]

Thanks Omni. Don't worry elmstfreddie, he wasn't rude (to me at least).

 

[DrinkSlurm]

Should we be adding comments in our triggers like before?

 

[ertaboy356b]

Yep, dont be rude to IKilledKEnny...

As for me, English is my 4th language ^_^

 

[elmstfreddie]

Should we be adding comments in our triggers like before?

You don't need to, but comments are always a good idea.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Should we be adding comments in our triggers like before?

I guess you could; I did.

As for me, English is my 4th language ^_^

1st for me.

it wasnt meant to be tude, im just doing it more efficient and presenting it more original

Anyway, you said in the assignment something about the position of the target in a local:
i've come his far

local location The_Target_Location =

what should come behind the " = " cause i dont know and cant find it

(oh and use jass tags ikilledkenny!)

im not rude, im original <3

edit: btw. i learned english from the pokemon games:
pokemon red/blue/jellow/silver/gold/crystal/ruby/sapphire/leaf green/fire red/

 

[IKilledKEnny]

>

local location The_Target_Location=

native GetUnitLoc takes unit whichUnit returns location

> (oh and use jass tags ikilledkenny!)

I usually do, but in tutorials (/classrooms) sometimes I need to bold somthing to point it out so I use code tags.

 

[elmstfreddie]

We were supposed to get a unit's loc and not his coordinates??? Oh well, mine already got marked >.<
Coordinates > location

 

[IKilledKEnny]

> elmstfreddie

Yes (see my location) but that is considered a little 'advanced' so in this class I will not talk about that.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Lol... It is simply:

local real x = GetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit())
local real y = GetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit())

Though I guess using these could be slightly ''advanced'' in some cases but is much more efficient.

 

[Omni]

how do i refer to a local unit variable when i want to get its "location"
could anyone show me the whole line and not only a part?

 

[elmstfreddie]

GetUnitLoc(localvariablehere)

 

[Omni]

thank you, and do i have to put the word "local" in front of every local
i made or can i just fill in its name ?

 

[elmstfreddie]

Just the name, for example
local unit a = GetTriggerUnit()
GetUnitLoc(a)

 

[martix]

Hmmm... whats the big idea here? How exacly do you do things here?
Because I'd want to learn JASS too. Well... kinda. I know most stuff. You could say what I lack now is the vocabulary of the language. Simply because I don't have anything to do with it. I'm not involved in any projects and something.
Now if I just had something to do that gets me somewhere.
