Quick JASS question!

Small JASS Problem, help please!

BOOOORED OF GUI!!! :banghead:

I am learning and experimenting in JASS using some knowledge I have, and JassCraft to find the natives and what not.

I was trying to make a trigger that displayed the message, using my own "DisplayTextToPlayer" variant.

function Trig_Blah_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call TextToPlayer(Player(0), "Random test text of doom!" ) 
endfunction

function InitTrig_Blah takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Blah = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerEventEndCinematic( gg_trg_Blah, Player(0) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Blah, function Trig_Blah_Actions )
endfunction

And my function:

function TextToPlayer takes player toPlayer, string playertext returns nothing 
endfunction

Do I have to use a native for this, and use this instead: ?

function TextToPlayer takes player toPlayer, real x, real y, string playertext returns nothing 
     call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, playertext )
endfunction

And also! Why do you have to provide a real x and real y argument for
DisplayTextToPlayer?


EDIT: Now that I look at it, it is obvious the problem: TextToPlayer doesn't do anything! Haha, way to go me
Well, can I make it something like a native, where you just call it as it is? I know I could just use DisplayTextToPlayer... but I want to do the same thing without the real x and real y. Yes, I also know that it's only like 4 extra characters, but I tend to like making things harder than they really need to be.

Well you could just create your own function, and then call that one, without it taking a real x and y.

Then just have it automatically use 0 and 0 for x and y and then call the native function. Aren't riddles fun?

I know, but I want to make it my own little native!! WAHHHHHHH.
I can just deal with it. Thanks for replying.

You're not writing your own native. You can't. You're writing just another function. Do you want me to write one for you?

native all called that rightly so because they don not call any othe rfunctions, which urs does, thus it is not a native, just another custom made function
