[~GaLs~]

[ArmedCitizen]

EDIT: Sorry gave wrong link at first.

 

[~GaLs~]

Whats that?

vJass is a new syntax for Jass developed by Vexorian and achieved with the use of JassHelper, a preprocessor for Jass.
It has plenty of features, better read the manual for more info.
To use it you need to get NewGen.

arh ~
Dun torture me with that...I am a jass idiot...
So vjass is a New Syntex..?

 

[SFilip]

If you don't know Jass then vJass is impossible to explain.

 

[~GaLs~]

yeah but anyway thanks

Well, actually, I believe Vexorian along with PitzerMike assembled all of the stuff, but mainly Pipedream did the work stuff. I think Vexorian said that or something for the description on wc3c.

okie...time to revive this thread...i knew some basics of jass in these days after reading ton ton and tons of tut of jass...

How to use Vjass?

 

[SFilip]

Get NewGen, read the manual, links to both in post #4.

 

[~GaLs~]

aw...time to revive this thread...now i have got basic or....rookie knowledge about jass...

The problem i facing now is i cant be able to transfer variable between triggers...or functions...i have heard that vjass could help to achieve that...

And...wc3campaign is down...anyone has the manual for me?

i have read all the words...in it...but i dont even know 1 of it.. damn..i am so noob..Anyway..i will start off with library..

library one needs three
function one takes nothing returns integer
return 1
endfunction
endlibrary

library three 
function three takes nothing returns integer
return 3
endfunction
endlibrary

so that in the mapheader..it will be like this?

function three takes nothing returns integer
return 3
endfunction

function one takes nothing returns integer
return 1
endfunction

then it will be initializer
i dont understand what is ways about initializer in the tut....what is initializer?


Next it will be private....
I am confuse from here till the end of the tut....what is a private?
Private is a variable?
And what's the diff btw normal things?

Please...and please if you wanted to explain...please include some examples....it is confusing me

1. Yes, it will be like that.

Initializer is the same as needs, and requires or w/e. It is just a different name to what you prefer.

2. Well, a private function has many uses. Privates can only be used within its scope/library. The private function names stay private and can't be used outside of the scope. Say you do this:

function JASS takes nothing returns nothing
    call KillUnit(GetTriggerUnit())
endfunction

function JASS takes nothing returns nothing
    call KillUnit(GetTriggerUnit())
endfunction

This, will definitely syntax. You'll have to change the name of one of the functions. If you do this:

scope
    private function JASS takes nothing returns nothing
        call KillUnit(GetTriggerUnit())
    endfunction
endscope
function JASS takes nothing returns nothing
    call KillUnit(GetTriggerUnit())
endfunction

It won't syntax.

----------------

This is also useful for some common functions like "H2I". You can make it a private and use it only in that function.

Private just makes the function inaccessable outside of the scope and it reserves names.

aw...u copied the tut....-.- for the 2nd question...

>>Say you do this:
Isnt the 2 function same? it is just the name of the function causes an error says function redeclared...

>>Privates can only be used within its scope/library
sry to reverse the topic...but i know library as i mentioned above..it is just to bring a function up to the map header...but what do scope do?

The tut explain scope with a mess....due to my poor english...i feel more mess...-.-

>>The private function names stay private and can't be used outside of the scope
cant understand...stay private and cant be used outside of the scopE?

Well, actually, I believe Vexorian along with PitzerMike assembled all of the stuff, but mainly Pipedream did the work stuff. I think Vexorian said that or something for the description on wc3c.

Pipedream: hacked world editor and warcraft III to allow .lua plugins
Vexorian: programmed jasshelper.
Pitzermike: some programs that do a lot of things.
Vexorian: bundled all tools together and called it newgen
bunch of people (including the above mentioned): thought how the vjass should be like, and failed absurdly

also: it is not a tutorial, it is a manual.

These are tutorials:

No, it is not.

 

[~GaLs~]

wow...thank you very very very much...vexo...I'd like it...
+repo :O

 

[PurgeandFire]

No, it is not.

Yea, I accidently mistaked Initializer with uses...

It is also difficult to control what code is executed first, that's the reason libraries also have an initializer keyword, you can add initializer FUNCTION_NAME after the name of a library and it will make it be executed with priority using ExecuteFunc , ExecuteFunc is forced so it uses another thread, most libraries require heavy operations on init so we better prevent the init thread from crashing. After the initializer keyword the 'needs' statement might be used as well.

That is what initializer is used for.

Oh yea, and thanks for the job listing stuff.

 

[~GaLs~]

where is the struct?
i still cant know anything about struct

 

[~GaLs~]

bump....i seems cant find any tutorial of struct except the 1 introduce to struct....that tutorial is so confuse that it didnt even explain what .create is...zzz

Is there any tutorial about struct?
