New Patch Today... 1.24.1.6374

[lovexylitol]

Looks like they patched something with the return bug.

function xh2i takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    call DoNothing()
    return 0
endfunction

This does not seem to work.

The if-else syntax bug seems to be fixed. (Though I'm not sure of the syntax )

private function test2 takes integer i returns integer
    if(i == 1) then
        return 10
    elseif(i == 2) then
        return 20
    else
        call BJDebugMsg("testing")
    endif
    
    return 30   
endfunction

function Callback takes nothing returns boolean
    if true then
        return true
    elseif true then
    endif
    return true
endfunction

Both these look to work fine.

Now people are FORCED to move away from handle vars.

 

[Weep]

Cool, so now there is no way to save a map using any form of H2I, return bug or native, from the Mac World Editor.

>I hate the patch now. It destroyed every Jass triggers on every map...

Nonsense. The only real losses in this patch are MapLock, my trigger attachment method (WHICH WAS AWESOME!!), and the fact that many of our old, good maps are now unplayable. My maps withstand the patch, and everyone else's should (but don't), too.

the fact that many of our old, good maps are now unplayable.

That's what one thing I hate about the new patch.
