I found some weird function in common.j of war3x.mpq. Can someone explain what they do?

    return size * 0.023 / 10
endfunction

    return speed * 0.071 / 128
endfunction

PHP:

    local integer i = 0
    loop
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(Player(i),0,0,60,msg)
        set i = i + 1
        exitwhen i == bj_MAX_PLAYERS
    endloop
endfunction

PHP: 
function CameraSetEQNoiseForPlayer takes player whichPlayer,real magnitude returns nothing
    local real richter = magnitude

    endif
    if (richter < 2.0) then
        set richter = 2.0
    endif
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == whichPlayer) then
        call CameraSetTargetNoiseEx(magnitude*2.0, magnitude*Pow(10,richter),true)
        call CameraSetSourceNoiseEx(magnitude*2.0, magnitude*Pow(10,richter),true)
    endif
endfunction

PHP: 
function TextTagSize2Height takes real size returns real
    return size * 0.023 / 10

BJ function, returns the pre set height a texttag with the size 'size' should use.


PHP: 
function TextTagSpeed2Velocity takes real speed returns real
    return speed * 0.071 / 128
endfunction
Same as above but for the speed isnteed. Both these functions just make some easy math as you can see.


PHP: 
function BJDebugMsg takes string msg returns nothing
    local integer i = 0
    loop
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(Player(i),0,0,60,msg)

        exitwhen i == bj_MAX_PLAYERS
    endloop
endfunction
Posts a message to all players, with pre set duration.

PHP: 
function CameraSetEQNoiseForPlayer takes player whichPlayer,real magnitude returns nothing
    local real richter = magnitude
    if (richter > 5.0) then
        set richter = 5.0
    endif
    if (richter < 2.0) then
        set richter = 2.0
    endif
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == whichPlayer) then
        call CameraSetTargetNoiseEx(magnitude*2.0, magnitude*Pow(10,richter),true)
        call CameraSetSourceNoiseEx(magnitude*2.0, magnitude*Pow(10,richter),true)
    endif
endfunction
//Edit : To who don't know what is EQ, it is Earthquake.
Chakes the camera for a player.

PHP: 
constant native ConvertLimitOp takes integer i returns limitop

PHP: 
native CreateMIDISound takes string soundLabel,integer fadeInRate,integer fadeOutRate returns sound

Probably dissable the control for a player, test it yourself.

PHP: 
native GetLocalizedString takes string source returns string
Dunno.

PHP: 
function PerformStockUpdates takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer  pickedItemId
    local itemtype pickedItemType
    local integer  pickedItemLevel = 0
    local integer  allowedCombinations = 0
    local integer  iLevel
    set iLevel = 1
    loop
        if (bj_stockAllowedPermanent[iLevel]) then
            set allowedCombinations = allowedCombinations + 1
            if (GetRandomInt(1, allowedCombinations) == 1) then
                set pickedItemType = ITEM_TYPE_PERMANENT
                set pickedItemLevel = iLevel
            endif
        endif

            set allowedCombinations = allowedCombinations + 1
            if (GetRandomInt(1, allowedCombinations) == 1) then
                set pickedItemType = ITEM_TYPE_CHARGED
                set pickedItemLevel = iLevel
            endif
        endif
        if (bj_stockAllowedArtifact[iLevel]) then
            set allowedCombinations = allowedCombinations + 1
            if (GetRandomInt(1, allowedCombinations) == 1) then
                set pickedItemType = ITEM_TYPE_ARTIFACT
                set pickedItemLevel = iLevel
            endif
        endif
        set iLevel = iLevel + 1
        exitwhen iLevel > bj_MAX_ITEM_LEVEL
    endloop
    if (allowedCombinations == 0) then
        return
    endif
    call UpdateEachStockBuilding(pickedItemType, pickedItemLevel)
endfunction
Probably something with the shops in wc3.

PHP: 
function StartSoundForPlayerBJ takes player whichPlayer,sound soundHandle returns nothing
    if (whichPlayer == GetLocalPlayer()) then
        call StartSound(soundHandle)
    endif
endfunction
Plays a sound for a player.

PHP: 
native VersionGet takes nothing returns version
Returns the version, dunno what version or what you use this for. Probably some blizzard use only function.

PHP: 
native VersionSupported takes version whichVersion returns boolean
Something close to the thing above.

PHP: 
function WaitTransmissionDuration takes sound soundHandle,integer timeType,real timeVal returns nothing
    if (timeType == bj_TIMETYPE_SET) then
        call TriggerSleepAction(timeVal)
    elseif (soundHandle == null) then
        call TriggerSleepAction(bj_NOTHING_SOUND_DURATION)
    elseif (timeType == bj_TIMETYPE_SUB) then
        call WaitForSoundBJ(soundHandle, timeVal)
    elseif (timeType == bj_TIMETYPE_ADD) then
        call WaitForSoundBJ(soundHandle, 0)
        call TriggerSleepAction(timeVal)
    else
    endif
endfunction
This is used with the 'play sound' bj, it waits eaither a set amount of time or until the sound is compleated or both.

The only functions Ive used when Ive coded is BJDebugMsg and StartSoundForPlayerBJ.

> CripplePlayer

I would guess this is the "you will be revealed unless", as seen in melee games.
Or, at least, some part of it.

> GetLocalizedString

Reads strings from, for example, the game interface.
Useful for international games. Or modified "quest" menus...

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
