there are sm BJs that are replaced by native but what about those like
CreateTextTagUnitBJ
JASS:
function CreateTextTagUnitBJ takes string s, unit whichUnit, real zOffset, real size, real red, real green, real blue, real transparency returns texttag
    set bj_lastCreatedTextTag = CreateTextTag()
    call SetTextTagTextBJ(bj_lastCreatedTextTag, s, size)
    call SetTextTagPosUnitBJ(bj_lastCreatedTextTag, whichUnit, zOffset)
    call SetTextTagColorBJ(bj_lastCreatedTextTag, red, green, blue, transparency)

    return bj_lastCreatedTextTag
endfunction

its function also contains 3 of more BJs do i need to write a native for it ot just write as it is?

If you check the functions inside the function, you can see what they do. Hint all of it could be done in the same function. Although in some cases its just easier to use the BJ functions. This one isn't really the case but certain functions are quite long and complicated to recreate on your own.

You need to create a new, faster function or just do the actions yourself in the function every time.

(I.E.)

JASS:

 function CreateTextTagUnit takes string s, unit whichUnit, real zOffset, real size, real red, real green, real blue, real transparency returns texttag
     bj_lastCreatedTextTag=CreateTextTag()
     call SetTextTagText(bj_lastCreatedTextTag,s,size)
     call SetTextTagPosUnit(bj_lastCreatedTextTag,whichUnit,zOffset)
     call SetTextTagColor(bj_lastCreatedTextTag, red, green, blue, transparency)
     return bj_lastCreatedTextTag
 endfunction

bj_lastCreatedTextTag is a variable. It's used by BJ's to set the values of GetLastCreatedTextTag(), or GetLastCreatedUnit(), and so on. You can use a local variable instead of it. For example:

JASS:
function CreateTextTagUnit takes string s, unit whichUnit, real zOffset, real size, real red, real green, real blue, real transparency returns texttag
     local texttag tt = CreateTextTag()
     call SetTextTagText(tt,s,size)
     call SetTextTagPosUnit(tt,whichUnit,zOffset)
     call SetTextTagColor(tt , red, green, blue, transparency)
     return tt
endfunction

No reason to use a local, it's a linear function that will be executed in a line, would be better to use a global.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
