[JASS] Calling function on a different page

[PenKnight]

Let's say trig1 wants to call trig2 but they aren't on the same trigger( white page). How can I still call trig2 and pass it some data, ie trig2(string)

 

[busterkomo]

Yes, you can.

 

[Vegavak]

You set a variable, run the other trigger, and use the variable in that trigger?

Wow, that was hard to figure out.

 

[PenKnight]

I think I didn't make myself clear. I'll try again.

In GUI mode , there are two white page icons representing the two different triggers.I want to know if I can call functions that aren't in that trigger, reuse functions but with difference value parameters.

I figured it out, You have to declare the function before the trigger uses it. ie stick it in the custom script section ( top)
For neatness, Can I make a function on it's own (it's own little white page/ trigger)and have be declare right after the variables?

• Trigger
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Trigger2 <gen> the event

Add the function to the map header... Click the map's name at the top of the trigger list. A "blank" page will be there, this is put into the map before all the other triggers, so a function that is there may be called by any triggers.

 

[PenKnight]

Yea, I was wondering if there was a way to not place it in the map header.

 

[busterkomo]

Using libraries, but that solution is JASS only. AFAIK, GUI has no way to determine script placement other than the map header.

Basically when compiled, the world editor takes each trigger in linear order by the order they were created, but since most likely you do not check which trigger you created before which other trigger, you can't really know (unless you do know by what order you made them) what function will be on top of the other one.
So, if you don't know the order, just put it in the header and be done with (or use libraries, which do exactly that, as was mentioned above me).

• Trigger
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Trigger2 <gen> the event

For the reference, if you have no idea what people are talking about, it is most likely not smart to say anything, because it's most likely stupid.

You can call and pass parameters to any function that is located in the final map script above the current function. WC3 not not support you calling functions located bellow the caller function.

You can however execute functions bellow the current function via a native and then pass them parameters via globals.

Topic name:

 Calling function on a different page [/quote]

Youse ExecuteFunc(parameters via globas) or vJass' lybraries or place your function above the functions it is called from(generally in top of the first created trigger(from the ones you want to call it from)) or use vJass' evaluate and execute or just place teh function in the map header.

 

[PenKnight]

Ok, it there any tuts or post where I could see libraries in action/ how to use them?

 

[Lord_BoNes]

The linear order of triggers in GUI, is from top to bottom... but, you may need to close the map and re-load it for order changes to take effect. I used this trick when I used to use GUI.

Personally, I'd use vJASS to do what you want, but that's just me.

 

[PenKnight]

I found out how to use librarys now . So much neater vJass.

Used this to help me, (Am I allow to post links to different websites?)

These extra features of vJass are quite complicated.

 

[Lord_BoNes]

As far as I know, you can post links to wherever you want (so long as it's legal and can be viewed by all ages).
As far vJASS... yeah, it is complicated, but you get the hang of it. I don't know the exact address, but do a search for vexorian's vJASS tutorial, it helped me a fair bit.

EDIT: to do a link (replace the "<>" with "[]") use <URL=address>text to put in for link</URL>
EG: this links to this page
Just click the quote button to look at how I did it.
