to run a function 'outside' a running timer, sample;

JASS:Copy

implement CTLExpire
   if dur > 0 then
      //run a function outside this struct depending on conditions
   else
      call .destroy()
   endif
implement CTLEnd

I use TriggerEvaluate, is it safe or there are better?...

call functionName() is the best option because it can be inlined automatically.

The only reason not to use it is if:

• You need to reset the op-count
• You need to begin a new thread so you can use TSA (this is never a good enough reason)

now I cant do that coz what if that called function is below the calling function ( the running timer), so It'll have an error...

I assume because you're making a library?

Most people just use TriggerEvaluate, yes.

If u use structs then it doesn't matter if the function is below it. Not sure if this is bad to do. I know it works tho

Put the function above it then? lol

Calling method that's below will generate a trigger evaluation

You can disable this auto-evaluate method feature by adding a tag [forcemethodevaluate] in jasshelper.conf, the one which is inside your JassNewGenPack folder, not the one in the subfolder 'jasshelper'.
Then, it will prompt an error on map save.

Is this allowed, does it even work ? (just to be sure don't use jasshelper but only jass, map script import or just the official editor)
I don't think you will even be able to save the map but meh ...

Yes jass is that old for me that i can't even remember a such basic rule
I hardly think it's allowed ...

JASS:Copy

globals
    force F = CreateForce()
endglobals

function Test takes nothing returns nothing
    call ForceAddPlayer(F,GetLocalPlayer())
    call ForForce(F,function A)
endfunction

function A takes nothing returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg("it works !")
endfunction

That won't work as function A is undefined. However, if you declare a code or boolexpr variable at the top, it'll work =).
