JASS functions

[Lightstalker]

I converted a few triggers from GUI to JASS and now I am rewriting them in vJASS, except I don't know what to fill in for some of the natives.

1) BJ:

call SetPlayerAllianceStateBJ( ConvertedPlayer(GetForLoopIndexA()), Player(5), bj_ALLIANCE_ALLIED )

Native (according to jasshelper):

if p != p then
                    return
                endif

How does that tell WC3 to ally the players

2) BJ:

call SetPlayerState(Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), PLAYER_STATE_NO_CREEP_SLEEP, IntegerTertiaryOp(true, 0, 1))

Native (for IntegerTertiaryOp):

if flag then
        return valueA
    else
        return valueB
    endif

How does that work?

3) BJ:

call IssueTargetOrderBJ( GetLastCreatedUnit(), "thunderbolt", GetSoldUnit() )

Native:

call IssueTargetOrder(dummy, "thunderbolt", targetWidget)

In the native, what am I supposed to fill in for ``targetWidget``?

I dunno what's wrong with JassHelper here... Look it up on wc3jass.com: http://wc3jass.com/viewtopic.php?t=792#setplayeralliancestatebj

That looks like a BJ you might want to leave in!

Native (for IntegerTertiaryOp):

if flag then
        return valueA
    else
        return valueB
    endif

How does that work?

You have to pay attention to the arguments it takes: http://wc3jass.com/viewtopic.php?t=357#integertertiaryop

Pretty much, you give it two values and a flag, and if it's true it returns the first value, and if false it returns the second value.

3) BJ:

call IssueTargetOrderBJ( GetLastCreatedUnit(), "thunderbolt", GetSoldUnit() )

Native:

call IssueTargetOrder(dummy, "thunderbolt", targetWidget)

In the native, what am I supposed to fill in for ``targetWidget``?

Again, just pay attention to the arguments: http://wc3jass.com/viewtopic.php?t=1005#issuetargetorderbj

So to convert the BJ, whichUnit is GetLastCreatedUnit(), order is "thunderbolt", and targetWidget is GetSoldUnit().

call SetPlayerAllianceStateBJ( ConvertedPlayer(GetForLoopIndexA()), Player(5), bj_ALLIANCE_ALLIED )

Since it's clear that you're using Alliance Allied (and assuming you're not going to change that, you might as well just do this to get rid of the BJ:

call SetPlayerAllianceStateAllyBJ(        sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, true  )
call SetPlayerAllianceStateVisionBJ(      sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, false )
call SetPlayerAllianceStateControlBJ(     sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, false )
call SetPlayerAllianceStateFullControlBJ( sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, false )

Now in your case, you want to do something like this:

local integer i = 0
local integer Target = 5

loop
    exitwhen i > 11
    if Player(i) != Player(Target) then
        call SetPlayerAllianceStateAllyBJ(        Player(i), Player(Target), true  )
        call SetPlayerAllianceStateVisionBJ(      Player(i), Player(Target), false )
        call SetPlayerAllianceStateControlBJ(     Player(i), Player(Target), false )
        call SetPlayerAllianceStateFullControlBJ( Player(i), Player(Target), false )
    endif
    set i = i + 1
endloop

The if statement there is meant to prevent these actions from happening to the source player. You can adjust the "exitwhen" condition to whatever number you need for however many players you want this to cycle through. Or give it a different initial value to change the starting point.

Weep has sufficiently answered the other two questions.

return can't work with if, it works with function

For e.g.

function HELLO takes nothing returns boolean
    return true
endfunction

function WASSUP takes nothing returns real
    return 100.00 * 200.00
endfunction

Actually a return like that DOES work, and what it does is stops the function right there. You can even use it if the function returns nothing, since you aren't specifying a variable type to return.

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

If the function that contain this return boolean. No?

Returning ends the function. It is actually useful even in functions that return nothing. Return works with if's, go convert a gui condition...
