syntax error

[koeienboei]

I wrote this code:

TimerStart(t,0.01,false, 
function SetUnitPositionLocFacingLocBJ( 
	GetTriggerUnit(), 
	PolarProjectionBJ(
		GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()), 
		50, 
		AngleBetweenPoints(
			GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()), 
			Location(GetMouseTerrainX(), GetMouseTerrainY())
		)
	), 
	Location(GetMouseTerrainX(), GetMouseTerrainY()) 
)

In my code its actually all on one line

This is what should go in:

native TimerStart takes timer whichTimer, real timeout, boolean periodic, code handlerFunc returns nothing

It starts a non-repeating timer t for 0.01 seconds and calls a function which moves a unit towards the mous location.

But this gives a syntax error... Im quite sure bout the ()

You cannot pass values to a function called from a timer callback. You'll need to attach that data to the timer, and then retrieve it from within the callback function.

 

[koeienboei]

Why pass it on to the timer? The timer cannot be passed either right?

 

[DioD]

this is not "C", this is JASS, you must use JASS syntax.

 

[koeienboei]

What should it be then?

 

[tooltiperror]

This is ZINC, isn't it? I think it supports anonymous functions now ...

 

[koeienboei]

Uhm.. What is ZINC and what does it mean it supports anonymous functions?

Are you using JASS? Because, I don't think that compiles in JASS? o.o

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

That's not an anonymous function. He's passing arguments via the TimerStart function.

Hence the thread title.

You can use [ljass]GetExpiredTimer()[/ljass] to retrieve the timer that expired, and hence anything you attached to it too. You can use TimerUtils too attach structs to timers (the system also provides dynamic timer recycling, which you should use). If you're using a high-frequency timer, I'd highly recommend using Timer32.

Thank you Romek Timer32 works nice
