My favorite functions are:

[ljass]native UnitAlive takes unit id returns boolean[/ljass]
[ljass]native ExecuteFunc takes string funcName returns nothing[/ljass]

And I don't know why.

What are yours?
 
[ljass]native ExecuteFunc takes string funcName returns nothing[/ljass]
Has a cool name.

[ljass]native Cheat takes string cheatStr returns nothing[/ljass]


I don't know why too :p
 
[ljass]GetLocalPlayer()[/ljass] and [ljass]EndGame[/ljass]
 
Definitely GetLocalPlayer, it allows cool stuff.
Btw this one is missing for starcraft 2, right ?

@BlackRose : Despite DoNothing is indeed useful, it is not a native function.
 
>Btw this one([ljass]GetLocalPlayer()[/ljass]) is missing for starcraft 2, right

For now yes I think, also [ljass]ExecuteFunc()[/ljass] has no replacement?
 
Well, it's much safer and usually faster to use a trigger and TriggerExecute over ExecuteFunc. Function interfaces also do the job.
 
I beg to differ; using TriggerExecute is the bigger problem if you have a [ljass]TriggerSleepAction[/ljass] call, because all associated threads will stop. Right now, I'm usuing a condition which then calls [ljass]ExecuteFunc[/ljass], and that's its only purpose (it's a dynamic trigger with a wait period inside of it).
 
[ljass]native KillUnit takes unit whichUnit returns nothing[/ljass]

The possibilities are endless :p
 
Eh. Same idea I guess: "Favourite function / native". Anyways:

[ljass]native And takes boolexpr operandA, boolexpr operandB returns boolexpr[/ljass]
 
Well, favourite because my name begins with the function name :D

I bet you can guess my name lol lulz.
 
JASS:
1. Andie/y, 2. Andrey, 3. Andrew, 4. Andres, 5. Andreas, 6. Andre, 7. Anders, 8. Anderson, 9. Andreas, 10. Andwele

I'll go with 1? : P

    I would be there for days, even with my camera set up slides can take a long time, and if they want perfect captures I really need to use my scanners that are professionally made for that. My camera rig works well for what it is, but for enlargements and things it's not as good.
  • Varine Varine:
    I've only had a couple clients with that so far, though. I don't have a website or anything yet though.
  • Varine Varine:
    Console repair can be worthwhile, but it's also not a thing I can do at scale in my house. I just don't have room for the equipment. I need an office that I can segregate out for archival and then electronic restoration.
  • Varine Varine:
    But in order for that to be real, I need more time, and for more time I need to work less, and to work less I need a different job, and for a different job I need more money to fall back on so that I can make enough to just pay like, rent and utilities and use my savings to find these projects

  • Varine Varine:
    Another couple years. I just need to take it slow and it'll get there.
  • jonas jonas:
    any chance to get that stolen money back?
  • jonas jonas:
    Maybe you can do console repair just as a side thing, especially if there's so much competition business might be slow. Or do you need a lot of special equipment for that?
  • jonas jonas:
    I recently bought a used sauna and the preowner told me some component is broken, I took a look and it was just a burnt fuse, really cheap to fix. I was real proud of my self since I usually have two left hands for this kinda stuff :p
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I am still playing Shapez 2. What an awful thing to happen, Varine, and hopefully everything has been sorted out soon. Always use multi-factor authentication whenever you have the opportunity to do so.

  • Varine Varine:
    I think all of the money is accounted for now, and all the cards have been changed out, so I think for the most part it's taken care of now. Just need to go through and make sure all of my accounts are secured again, it's just time consuming.
  • Varine Varine:
    And yeah everything has 2 factor turned on now, or at least everything I can think of at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    The consoles don't need too much equipment that I don't already have. I would like to get a reflow oven, but I don't really want to buy one so I'm thinking about modifying a toaster oven I have to make something that will work for what I'm doing.
  • Varine Varine:
    I have the soldering irons and reflow and all that, but without an oven it's kind of hard to build mod chips and things like that. I made a handful of them with a hot air station, but it's a pain.
  • Varine Varine:
    The only thing I'm not really set up for is BGA rework. I've done it before a little bit, but not reliably, and that equipment is wildly expensive. You need X-rays and shit.
  • Varine Varine:
    I also have a couple 3D printers. I'm not super good with those and need to get an enclosure built, but they'll be useful for some aesthetic mods I've been thinking about. At least I can use them to do designs and then just have someone else print out the parts for me once I know they work.
  • Varine Varine:
    I also use them to make adapters for all my camera shit, but that's also an on the side thing for now. Lens adapters get really expensive.
  • Varine Varine:
    I've been trying to do some little art pieces as well, but I'm not much an engineer so they haven't gone great. I got some new things showing up to try and play with
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build this tesserect kind of thing with mirrors, and I've been trying to make this like black hole diorama. In my head it looks really cool, but I kind of thought I could form polarizing lenses into a sphere but I tend to just destroy them every time I try.
  • Varine Varine:
    So I got a new idea, but I'm not sure how to make it work like I want without being able to get a polarizer curved. I think they are made out of PVA typically, and I thought I could just heat it up a little bit to soften the film, but that clearly isn't working. So I'm going to try a few other things, I'm thinking if I put a mirror film over the polarizing film I might get something cool. I have some polarized LED's as well, and I think if I make a central light source I can use the mirrors combined with the polarizers to make that central light APPEAR black. I have next week off so I'm going to spend some time trying to figure it out
  • Varine Varine:
    The tesserect works, at least. I just need to figure out how to be able to assemble it, but I think I have a pretty good idea of how to go about it. Or at least a prototype of it. I'll post some pictures next week
  • jonas jonas:
    That last bit sounds like the last entry in a scientist's journal in a destroyed research facility in a post-apocalyptic video game
  • Varine Varine:
    lol it's not that exciting
  • Varine Varine:
    Shiny tho
  • Varine Varine:
    Basically it's a cube with a two way mirror on the inside, and then a smaller cube suspended in that with a mirrors on the outside of it. Kind of like those infinity pictures where they use two mirrors to go forever. Only it's twelve mirrors
  • Varine Varine:
    And the tiniest LED strip I could find
