Structs and Scopes

[Charapanga]

Hello, and welcome to another one of my problems! Yay me!

Well...I am familiarised with Scopes, privates, private globals etc etc...
But i have no idea what a struct is and what it is used for and how do Static functions differ from Private functions, and how do static variables differ from private variables...

And of course the manual.

Try not to think of private variables/functions as completely separate entities to normal variables/functions, you're just making things more confusing

Structs are just a series of global arrays - when you .create a struct, it gives you a new index, which is used as the array index e.g.

local StructName data = StructName.create ()
set data.structmember = ...

using structvariable.structmember as the syntax (i.e. var name, dot, member name)

Static methods are methods do not require a struct instance for usage, whereas dynamic methods require a struct instance to be declared so that it can be used. The JASSHelper manual is worth reading over, might be able to explain things in greater detail
