Why doesn't it work?

[Sk8-tEr]

function Trig_A_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1 ( human footman ( centerofplayablemap )))
endfunction

function InitTrig_A_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

What's wrong with it?


Edit:

function Trig_A_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call CreateNUnitsAtLocForPlayer( 1 ( human footman ( centerofplayablemap (Player(0))))
endfunction

function InitTrig_A_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

Oh, but... still doesnt work

It might be useful for you if you actually used a function list instead of making up your own variables and names.
Human Footman -> 'hfoo'
Center of map -> GetRectCenter(bj_mapInitialPlayableArea)

-----------

When calling a function which takes multiple arguments, you separate them with a comma.
Eg:

call SomeFunc(a, b, c, d, e, f, g)

-----------

Also:

CreateNUnitsAtLoc(amount, whichUnit, whichPlayer, loc, facing)

So for you, that'd be:

CreateNUnitsAtLoc(1, 'hfoo', Player(0), GetRectCenter(bj_mapInitialPlayableArea), >facing<)

You haven't specified >facing<

your syntax is wrong ....
i could tell you the right syntax now, but that would not help you, you would come again and again and again. You have to learn how to learn yourself. Go and learn Jass.
EDIT: Ok he helped you, but that is not right, we pointed you to some really good JASS Tutorials in your last thread 0.o

To this:
Code whatever you want in GUI first, then Convert it to JASS and look at the code.

If you want to do similr things again, just copy and paste the parts of the code of this trigger you need.

You forgot to create the trigger.

function InitTrig_A_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
local trigger Trig = CreateTrigger()
//... register some events
call TriggerAddAction(Trig, function <Your action>)
endfunction

I tried to write the whole thing in JASS but then u told me to learn JASS
it's just my first attempt at a trigger in JASS...
How do you write jass?
Do you make a trigger in GUI then convert it or do you write the whole
thing in JASS?
You said to convert my gui into jass and copy that way.
is this how every1 does it?

 

[Romek]

No, most real Jassers write code from scratch.
Although the best thing to do if learning would be to convert it.

Make a trigger in GUI. Then go to:
Edit -> Convert to Custom Text

Thanks...

I'm not going to ask for help with JASS anymore though ;P
someone always says go learn jass or something from a tutorial
so i will keep reading the tutorial over http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28292
and keep converting from gui to jass

 

[Akolyt0r]

Good
if you learned the basics from the Tutorials be free to ask in the forums for help again
