Using Globals Outside The Declared Trig

[DrEvil]

I know you can declare globals in a trig ,

globals
   integer life = 30 // whatever 
endglobals

Can i access that global from a different trigger ?

 

[Faust]

Yes.
You wouldn't be able to only, if it was

private globals
   integer life = 30 // whatever 
endglobals

 

[DrEvil]

Can i ask

If i dont put "private" key word it makes it public , so whats the point of the public key word ?

 

[AdamGriffith]

It doesnt make it public.
Heres an example:

scope TEST

globals
    public integer I
endglobals

endscope

Would be accesed: TEST_I

scope TEST

globals
    integer I
endglobals

endscope

Would be accesed: I

Atleast, I think thats how it works.

So when its public you use the scope name + _ + name of global to access it .

And private it can only be used in that trigger right ?

 

[Romek]

No prefix, you just get the normal name.
Public, you use SCOPENAME_VARIABLENAME
Private, same as above but with a random amount of __ (Well, sometimes it's 2, sometimes 3).

 

[DrEvil]

Ok , i think its 2 _'s

How does NewGen get the maps script ?

When you make a JASS Error is shows you the whole map script and the line(s) which is wrong .

Ok thanks Romek for the thumbs up on the prefix / no prefix

There are no trigger. It's either a scope or a library.
