What can I do with GetTriggeringRegion ?

[Jedi]

function SpawnActions takes nothing returns nothing
    local region re = GetTriggeringRegion()
    
    //And ?
    
    
endfunction

function InitTrig_Spawn takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple(t, gg_rct_Player_1_Spawn)
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple(t, gg_rct_Player_2_Spawn)
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple(t, gg_rct_Player_3_Spawn)
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple(t, gg_rct_Player_4_Spawn)
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple(t, gg_rct_Player_5_Spawn)
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple(t, gg_rct_Player_6_Spawn)
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple(t, gg_rct_Player_7_Spawn)
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple(t, gg_rct_Player_8_Spawn)
    call TriggerAddAction(t, function SpawnActions)
endfunction

Hold the phone, what would you like to do with it?

You're not getting the triggering rect, just the region, keep that in mind.

Here is the region api:

native CreateRegion             takes nothing returns region
native RemoveRegion             takes region whichRegion returns nothing

native RegionAddRect            takes region whichRegion, rect r returns nothing
native RegionClearRect          takes region whichRegion, rect r returns nothing

native RegionAddCell           takes region whichRegion, real x, real y returns nothing
native RegionAddCellAtLoc      takes region whichRegion, location whichLocation returns nothing
native RegionClearCell         takes region whichRegion, real x, real y returns nothing
native RegionClearCellAtLoc    takes region whichRegion, location whichLocation returns nothing

native IsUnitInRegion               takes region whichRegion, unit whichUnit returns boolean
native IsPointInRegion              takes region whichRegion, real x, real y returns boolean
native IsLocationInRegion           takes region whichRegion, location whichLocation returns boolean

In short words, is GetTriggeringRegion usefull ?
And I know them, but I still don't get what are these "Cell" natives.

Cell is in one respect a 32x32 rect.

You can attach to regions through a [LJASS]hashtable[/LJASS] and [LJASS]GetHandleId[/LJASS]. Which means you can get anything from the point you created the region... etc. So it's as useful as you need it to be.
