Dialogs compilation bug

[Ashlebede]

In my first attempt to use vJASS, I got a compilation error when I used globals of type [ljass]dialog[/ljass].

library publics initializer init
    globals
        //////////
        //DIALOG//
        //////////
        dialog MainDialog
        
        button array Main_btn [3]
        
        button array btn_Mode [2]
        button array btn_Settings [5]
        button array btn_Teams [4]
        button array btn_Repicks [2]
        button array btn_Shrines[2]
        button array btn_SH [4]
        
        /////////
        //MODES//
        /////////
        boolean AP = true
        boolean shrinesAllowed = true
        boolean repicksAllowed = true
        
        integer SH = 0
        integer Teams = 0
        
        ////////
        //MISC//
        ////////
        force array Team [2]
    endglobals
    
    private function init takes nothing returns nothing
        set MainDialog = DialogCreate()
    endfunction
endlibrary

function Trig_Dialog_Main_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call DialogSetMessage(MainDialog,"Main Menu")
    set Main_btn[0]=DialogAddButton(MainDialog,"Te|cffFFFFFFa|rms",65)
    set Main_btn[1]=DialogAddButton(MainDialog,"S|cffFFFFFFe|rttings",69)
    set Main_btn[2]=DialogAddButton(MainDialog,"|cffFFFFFFS|rtart Game",83)
    
    call DialogDisplay(Player(0),MainDialog,true)
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Dialog_Main takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger trg = CreateTrigger(  )
    
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( trg, 0.10 )
    call TriggerAddAction( trg, function Trig_Dialog_Main_Actions )
    
    set trg = null
endfunction

Now, for the line which reads [ljass]call DialogSetMessage(MainDialog,"Main Menu")[/ljass] and every line after that which references to my [ljass]MainDialog[/ljass] variable, I get this error :

Line X : Cannot convert integer to dialog

Pretty logical, since the code now looks like this :

    call DialogSetMessage((1), "Main Menu")

Now, is there something wrong with my World Editor or am I just doing it wrong? I had a fully working trigger when I didn't use vJASS, but I kind of figured I should use it if I was going to transfer the script from a map to another (which I did). Now, that took me hours to code and I kind of hate that CTRL+H find & replace... the popup can't be dragged, and all... (I didn't post the whole code)

[ljass]native DialogSetMessage takes dialog whichDialog, string messageText returns nothing[/ljass]

Get the latest jasshelper.

Right, like I'm coding vJASS without using JassHelper... >_>

See, the thing is, it reads like this :

call DialogSetMessage(MainDialog,"Main Menu")

Proper syntax, as far as I know. Maindialog is of type [ljass]dialog[/ljass], in theory. However, when I save my map, it gives me the error I told you. It says it's an integer now. And I can see that the line, in the error popup, looks like this :

call DialogSetMessage((1), "Main Menu")

Now, my other globals work well, so that's not what's wrong. Also, every time I use the variable MainDialog outside its library, it becomes [ljass](1)[/ljass] after compilation... my other variables work just fine.

I also tried making MainDialog an udg, which works (though I have to do find & replace). For now I'll keep it like that, but I'd just like to know why a [ljass]dialog[/ljass] variable can become [ljass](1)[/ljass]... everywhere in the code...

Do you have a function or struct somewhere else in your code called MainDialog?

Also, he said latest JassHelper, not JassHelper that came with Newgen Pack.

<=== Stupid. Well, at least it works now. Thank you very much. u_u

Also, put this into your map and try saving.

//! zinc
  library DoIHaveZINC{
  }
//! endzinc

If you get an error, then 1) You don't have ZINC support, and 2) Your JassHelper is probably the NewGen one and you should really download the latest JassHelper and update the [LJASS]common.j[/LJASS] and [LJASS]blizzard.j[/LJASS] in your JassHelper folder.
