vJASS Questions and such

[Windwalk]

1.where can i find a real good vJass tutorial?

2.What are structs?

3.What are methods and static methods?

4. what is a line like this?

set g.u = GetTriggerUnit()

i thought u just do set g = GetTriggerUnit() how come you use variables inside structs... inside other functions

5. i know im noob bear with me s:....

6. "Function musn't have any arguements when being called" how do i get pass this if i need to use other variables from 1 function to another.

thanks i know im very noob but itd be better if someone could easily clear up all these questions for me =/

4) Sets the value of u = triggering unit, but the value u is part of the struct represented by g.
5)..
6) Global variables, or structs.

dam that was fast thanks

but variables inside structs can be used anywhere?

+rep when i can again i will

but variables inside structs can be used anywhere?

Anywhere that the struct is available (i.e. it's above the function that wants to use it, and isn't private with respect to the function that wants to use it) and where a struct instance (in the case of non-static members) has been declared e.g.

function test takes nothing returns nothing
  local wee data = wee.create () //invalid, since the struct wee is below test, and wee is private with respect to this function
  set data.u = GetTriggerUnit () //again, invalid, same reason as above
endfunction


scope foo

private struct wee
unit u
endstruct

function test2 takes nothing returns nothing
  local wee data = wee.create () //valid, since wee is above this function
//and wee isn't private with respect to this function
  set data.u = GetTriggerUnit ()
endfunction

endscope

You could use a keyword to make Flares code work, though function 'test' would have to be within the scope, as the struct is private.

scope foo

private keyword wee

function test takes nothing returns nothing
  local wee data = wee.create () // valid. It is below the keyword
  set data.u = GetTriggerUnit () // See above
endfunction

private struct wee
unit u
endstruct

function test2 takes nothing returns nothing
  local wee data = wee.create () //valid, since wee is above this function
//and wee isn't private with respect to this function
  set data.u = GetTriggerUnit ()
endfunction

endscope
