Is There A Complete JASS Function List?

[phragX]

So I've decided to push away the comfort zone of GUI to get to the real power of map triggering: JASS. Seems fairly straightforward so far, but I'm wondering if there is a web page with listings for all the known built-in functions (strings like DestroyEffect(), AttachObject(), etc).

In particular, at the moment, I'm wondering how you can call a unit's base damage so when an ability (AbilX) is used, it does 3 x (casting unit's attack damage), then checks to see if the target was killed by the damage or not.

Get JASSCraft. It has all of them.

I read that its faulty. Not sure how any other editor compares, but I had the impression there's better than JassCraft?

Faulty? No. It does not have the new functions added by the New Gen pack, but it does have every function in the original JASS language.

You can also check out the blizzard.j and common.j files by extracting the stuff in the MPQ's I believe. If you DL JASS craft you have access to vexorian's CSCache system which is very helpful.

Done and done. Thanks guys!

Okay, so I see JASSCraft is extremely useful indeed, but I'm still not sure how to find base damage. None of the functions seem obviously designed for it. Is it even possible to return a unit's base damage without forcing it to attack another unit first? I know you could create a function that returns how much damage was taken by a unit, then multiply it, but I dont think its very logical to do, because I think it would require too many loopholes to properly execute.

You can't.

No.

Hmmm, alright. I'll find a work-around then. Thanks Ghan, you're always on top of things around here.

would that be what you had in mind

http://jass.sourceforge.net/doc/api/common_j-functions.shtml

???

IMO... It would be best to link to the function API area instead because all functions aren't in just the common.j:
http://jass.sourceforge.net/doc/api/functions.shtml

Also, Daelin made an outstanding system to find the min/max damage. I'll look for it. To find the base damage, I think you should register "A unit is damaged" then use "Get Event Damage". It works before the unit is attacked .

Also, JASSCraft does highlight almost all functions, but it syntaxes common.ai functions. And it does not highlight codes but it parses them correctly.
