JASS: Method Interfaces: The Basics & Type IDs

[Flare]

So, I don't need the structname prefix when calling the method? Just .membername (assuming the member is in the interface as well, right?)

 

[Magentix]

Exactly.

Although that's method basics though

struct SomeStruct
    real r = 0.

    method sayReal takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg(R2S(.r))
    endmethod
endstruct

// This sets the real to something other than 0.
// and then BJDebugMsg-shows that real.
function SaySomeReals takes nothing returns nothing
    local SomeStruct S = SomeStruct.create()

    set S.r = GetRandomReal(0.,100.)
    call S.sayReal()
endfunction

But, in that example, that struct isn't an extension of another struct.

I know, but the questions you're asking are more about the mechanics of methods

Good point... now, to figure out struct extensions and utilizing methods between them :banghead:

Once you get the hang of it, you'll love it...

That happened to me when I learned structs xD I couldn't stop making spells with structs.

Great tutorial. I really liked the example with the marbles ^^ Though I still can't fully understand the usage of interfaces... But I guess that will come in time when I get more experience in vJASS

+rep :thup:
EDIT: Eh, maybe when I can again. Must spread some first... Sry :/

Great tutorial. I really liked the example with the marbles ^^

I was actually trying to write it with beer as an example, but when trying to figure out action with beer could be used as an example method, I got thirsty.

So then I went with good 'ole, non-thirst-invoking, marbles.

Le bump?

Could a mod take a look at this?

Well, this has to be one of the most explanatory and detailed tutorial about interfaces and struct extensions. I have nothing bad to say.

I will let this get some more feedback before approving.

Bump for greater goodness.
