Keyword

[Rheias]

So, as I'm continuing to practice NewGen I had another problem.

scope test
    keyword h
    
    function t takes nothing returns nothing
        call h("Works!")
    endfunction
    
    function h takes string s returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg(s)
    endfunction
endscope

When I save the map I get an error that it's title is "!", the description is "67", and the options are (buttons' names) "abort", "ignore", and "retry". Doesn't matter what button I press I get syntax errors. Odd? I think so too. Even odder, when I change it to that:

scope test
    private keyword h
    
    function t takes nothing returns nothing
        call h("Works!")
    endfunction
    
    private function h takes string s returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg(s)
    endfunction
endscope

I don't get the error, but still syntax errors.

scope test
    public keyword h
    
    function t takes nothing returns nothing
        call h("Works!")
    endfunction
    
    public function h takes string s returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg(s)
    endfunction
endscope

Same thing.

hmmm wouldn't the function h be before the function t?

That is why I'm using a keyword...

i really don't know that there is a type called keyword Maybe you are using an struct ? Can you tell me what is a keyword please ?

scope test
    private keyword h
    
    private function t takes nothing returns nothing
        call h.evaluate("Works!")
    endfunction
    
    private function h takes string s returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg(s)
    endfunction
endscope

Try that one. For me it doesn't give errors, but haven't tried ingame.

Thanks Überplayer, I guess all I need to do now is to figure out how evaluate works. By the way, why does it give me error 67 when I remove the private before the keyword?

Jass Helper Manual doesn't tell the reason, but you can make only keywords that has private or public in front of them, or else it gives some errors.
