I Want To Learn

Also, try methods.

struct Person

    method WhateverYouWant takes nothing returns nothing
        //Whatever you want to be executed
    endmethod

endstruct

function onInit ...
    local Person fooperson = Person.create()
    call fooperson.WhateverYouWant()
endfunction

strongly recommend you to view compiled code of vJass (zinc cjass and any other extension).

most workarounds are very wierd and ineffective in some (most) cases due universal design.

method is actually function with additional integer param linked to struct instance

    call fooperson.WhateverYouWant()

==

    call WhateverYouWant(fooperson)

any struct handle is simple integer

if fooperson == 6 then

will compile and work well.

extendion hide this from you, limit your ability to code.

so i can put regular JASS codes in there?...

 

[tooltiperror]

sure.

struct Data

    method Example takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg("Hello, World!")
    endmethod

endstruct

function foo ...
    local Data data=Data.create()
    call data.Example()
endfunction

endfunction

sweet! ok, i've read some of the tutorials for JASS. i understand that using coordinates is better than using locations. but i've yet to see a sample code that used coordinates for sliding effects. how do you calculate the polar offset using coordinates? or is that the time when i use locations?...

 

[Bribe]

PolarProjectionBJ

converts your locations into coordinates in order to do the math for offsetting your location. Click that link to read about how it does that

 

[Laiev]

Bribe is a bad guy :x he want to people to do things by yourself just kidding Bribe

function PolarProjectionBJ takes location source, real dist, real angle returns location
    local real x = GetLocationX(source) + dist * Cos(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)
    local real y = GetLocationY(source) + dist * Sin(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)
    return Location(x, y)
endfunction

the function return Location but of course you can get only the reals and use in your code

I actually prefer not to waste server bandwidth on a web site by posting that huge chunk of HTML without a reasonable alternative

 

[hellmonja27]

we lost inet connection. i'm in a public inet shop. still trying to learn vJASS, balancing it with work and all. be back once we have connection.

i do have a question on timers though. so far all i see are timers being terminated by a PolledWait command. i was wondering if you could terminate it using conditions...

 

[Bribe]

Your last sense makes absolutely no sentence.

 

[BlackRose]

Your last sense makes absolutely no sentence.

Lol.

 

[Sevion]

Where do you see timers being terminated by a PolledWait command?

What does that even mean?

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Timer callbacks are terminated by [LJASS]TriggerSleepAction[/LJASS], same as conditions are.

 

[hellmonja27]

ok sorry i was wrong. TriggerSleepAction yes, that's the command i meant.

ok so say you have a timer that slides a unit in a straight line and the timer only terminates when it comes near an area. or if a timer adds up something and it terminates once it reaches a certain value. how do you terminate such timers?...

 

[Bribe]

Use Timer32, it's found in Jesus4Lyf's signature. Call .stopPeriodic() when certain conditions are met and that will terminate the timer callbacks.

 

[baassee]

Or use TimerUtils and release the timer although Timer32 is better but a bit higher coding phase. But once you've learned it, it's simple.

I don't know if I should ask this here: I want to learn, too. and
- The NewGen doesn't work with worldedit.exe 1.24, does it?
- Will there be any problem if I just use NewGen with WE 1.21b? Will I be able to code using vJass? will my created map be playable on 1.24e? and what about the map size limit?
Thank for reading.

 

[Laiev]

You should create another thread instead of heck someone

> The NewGen doesn't work with worldedit.exe 1.24, does it?
It Work.

> Will there be any problem if I just use NewGen with WE 1.21b?
Yes, hashtable function don't work right while editing (only in GUI).

> Will I be able to code using vJass?
Yes, NewGen is the only editor that support edit vJass and all other things in Warcraft III Map.

> will my created map be playable on 1.24e?
Yes.

> and what about the map size limit?
8Mb.

 

[Rocket|...]

would you please btw show me how to use NewGen with WE 1.24, as It always make a "worldedit121.exe" whenever I run it T_T
@hellmonja27: sorry for the inconvenience. Hope you didn't mind. It makes me feel bad creating a whole new thread just to ask a few questions. Once again, I'm sorry, I created a new topic T_T

 

[hellmonja27]

@Rocket| nah, s'okay. no harm done there.

hmm, seems i still got a lot to learn. ok, i found JesusLyf and his Timer32 tutorial. this is gonna take some time understanding i guess. thanks for the directions people...
