Tutorial JASS: Guide for GUI - JASS Conversion

[Chocobo]

You should add a part for Math Calculations. It is extremly easy in JASS. So newbies may understand easily that. (And start learning JASS)

Nice guide.... especially for the newbies, including me

Alright, I am working on it now.

~Good job, bump.

 

[Darthfett]

Alright, I have just finished the Integers section, and added it in to the first section. Tell me what you think!

great tuturial man! i am not a noob at jass but those will be like a "cheat sheet" for me.

 

[Rinpun]

I'll move it to the tutorial section soon

Anyway:

Dying Unit                        - GetDyingUnit()

GetTriggerUnit() gets the dying unit as well, and mysteriously does it faster

 

[Darthfett]

Alright, I fixed it, thanks for the comments.

What section do you guys want me to add next?

 

[Rinpun]

Well another thing I noticed is

"Hero Attribute -"

It's quicker if you just call GetHeroStr(whichHero, includeBonuses), GetHeroAgi(whichHero, includeBonuses), and GetHeroInt(whichHero, includeBonuses).

I don't know what other sections you could add....hm. Maybe you could explain how a loop works in JASS over GUI.

Last Created Unit                 - bj_lastCreatedUnit()
                                  -
Last Restored Unit                - bj_lastLoadedUnit()
                                  -
Last Replaced Unit                - bj_lastReplacedUnit()
                                  -
Last Haunted Gold Mine            - bj_lastHauntedGoldMine()

these are globals. () mustn't be used here.

Heh whoops. I fixed it, and added the [ goto ] and [ anchor ] tags, so you can navigate easy from the top. If you want another section done, i'd be happy to add it.

Hi,I'm sorta new to this and want to do something like this:

I want do something like this:

if ((GetExpiredTimer() == ReviveTimers[GetConvertedPlayerId(*ownerof(pickedunit)*)])) then

and then:

Hero - Instantly revive (Picked unit) at (Position of DoublePosition[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))]), Show revival graphics

Thought it would fit in here, picked unit/player should be added to list, I would also need some help with almost the whole thing. Or if there is a GUI condition for getting expiring timers. Help would be greatly appriciated (am aware of that picking units create leaks).

GetSpellAbilityId()

Could you explain to me what I put in the parentheces? (Newb question)

 

[Darthfett]

GetSpellAbilityId()

Could you explain to me what I put in the parentheces? (Newb question)

Nothing actually. Unless it has something in the Stars (**), then nothing will go in it.

What that does, is get the Ability being cast, and since it's just automatically set by the game every time a unit casts an ability, you don't need to tell it what unit is casting it, or the target unit, or anything.

I think you should add several example triggers. Have them in GUI and then the exact same trigger in JASS. That'd help to learn the format for JASS.
Also, you should seperate the functions depending on whether they're available in RoC or TFT-Only.
Great tutorial, +rep

Can I get this moved to the Graveyard?

I'm no longer keeping it updated, and there's better ways to learn JASS.
