trigger with shared functions?

[waaaks!]

how to make functions in a trigger that can be used by other triggers?

like if i put a function in this trigger, the function inside that trigger can be used by other triggers

 

[Cohadar]

you must use libraries for that

 

[Uberplayer]

This shall be our first trigger.

library myFunctions

function NoIdea takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

endlibrary

This shall be our second trigger.

library myOtherFunctions requires myFunctions

function IHaveAnIdea takes nothing returns nothing
    call NoIdea()   
endfunction

endlibrary

As the library myOtherFunctions requires the library myFunctions, the myFunctions library is checked (when you save) before the myOtherFunctions library.

 

[waaaks!]

how about cs cache?
its in the trigger right?

but when i call a function in it, why does it works even if i didnt used libraries in my trigger?

 

[Cohadar]

cscache is a library

 

[Uberplayer]

library myLib requires CSCache
//functions here
endlibrary

Make your trigger require the CSCache trigger's library like that.

 

[Cohadar]

His trigger is not a library...

 

[Uberplayer]

I meant that "make your trigger's library require CSCache trigger's library".

 

[waaaks!]

so that means
if i add my functions in a library

now i can use them like

function Trig_Mine_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
 call MyFunctions(GetTriggerUnit(), GetSpellTargetUnit())
endfunction

right?

Right. Libraries basically move the code contained to the top of the map, so they can be called. To order the libraries, use the "uses" syntax as already mentioned.
