Few JASS Questions

[RaiJin]

1. The hell is textmacro?
2. What is textmacro used for?
3. How to use it? (Can u please post a demo of how to do it and what it looks like )


4. I heard using waits in loops just screw everything up this true?

5. I heard structs are bad to use because they hold a lot of data and they are slower than globals. BUT i also heard structs are just global arrays so whats the difference.

1. Have you tried reading the Jasshelper manual?

2. Making things easier. And shorter.

3. A demo map... for textmacros? This is madness.

4. Nonsense. TriggerSleepAction works just fine in loops. It's not wise to use it in GUI loops, though, because Integer A/B is a global that can be overwritten.

5. Hold a lot of data? What? Structs are just fine to use. True, global arrays are a bit slower than a plain global, but you don't need a struct if you can use a plain global instead.

1-3: Read the Jasshelper documentation that comes with the NewGen editor.
4: Depends on how you code your loop.
5: Structs are, as you say, essentially just global arrays, so the first thing you heard is incorrect.
