Hi ! I'm currently trying to implement a dynamic random unit sell system and I've ran into a strange problem using the native function which adds unit to a shop (AddUnitToStockBJ). Problem Sometimes the function is adding the correct amount of unit slots to the shop and sometimes it just...

I'm working on a special Gladiators map called Final Gladiators X. Gladiator maps consist of players who play as gladiators and a director, who controls the mobs and bosses. Each gladiator chooses a hero, buys items and kill mobs which are sent by directors for EXP. The purpose of this genre is...

Hello folks ! I want to create a spell very similar to the vanilla ability Gather which allows, as everyone knows, a peasant to gather wood (and gold but it's not important there). But I want this spell to be purely cosmetic. I want my peasants to go to the nearest tree, to hit it with their...

When you save your map and it compiles your script if it gives a syntax error it tells you what it is but what line it's on and the text box of that line is never actually where the syntax error is. Is there a way to find where it is cause VS isn't catching any errors edit: For some reason if I...

A few years back I remember having an option in trigger editor(probably not original) to convert the GUI to Jass or vJass(not sure). I can no longer find such convertor... Does anyone know of any way to do such a thing?

So I'm trying to create an area of effect polymorph that is MUI. So I put together this script. But I'm having issues. MassSheepify Copy Events Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability Conditions (Ability being cast) Equal to Mass Sheepify Actions Custom...

1. For bribes damage engine, it's faster if you combine all your triggers into one with the GDD_Damage_event. Does the same concept apply to other triggers? Say combining all your, "a unit is sold" or "periodic Event .03 sec" along with the many other events to reduce lag? 2...

Warcraft III Reforged brought us lua scripting, but still a lot of map makers for WC3 are using cJass. Just because C-style syntax rules. Unfortunately cJass extension is unsupported for Reforged and who knows how it will be. Lua is more efficient, useful and simple for game development. But a...

Would it be possible to be more specific in how I want to manipulate terrain than with just regions? I'm really just concerned with changing out tiles, I imagine through JASS this is possible? o_O EDIT: Idk if I'm asking my question specifically enough, say for instance I want the grass...

Hello, This function was not working properly and I didn't know why: After doing some tests I have found that it needs a space (or you need to have that terrain type in your tileset already) in your Terrain Tileset in order to work and because I have 16 terrain types in my tileset right now...

Hey all, Im just learning jass and am struggling to make a loop work. Im wondering if there can be 2 conditions for exitwhen? using AND, or OR. Example: Function Fxn takes nothing returns nothing local integer a = 1 local integer b = 5 loop exitwhen a == 1 AND b == 1 set b =...

Hello, I am trying to make a Armor system with a unit indexer as requirement. I need to store the "code armor" value of units whose armor is modified by BlzSetUnitArmor native. Then I use it as input in other pieces of code. I can't use hashtable no ? Because if the handle ID of a removed unit...

I can't seem to be able to remove Jasshelper. I want to use lua and i think JH is giving me trouble. However simply deleting the folder only results in it re-downloading. Anything i should know?

Hello, Is there a way to display the call stack from JASS ? To know what functions/triggers are at the origin of the code execution ? It would be very usefull for desync debugging, if I could print the call stack in my hook functions :)

Hello everyone, someone who can help me on how to import this skill to my map is that it is very different from the others, I think it is because of this JASS or GUII Divine Halo v2.1

Introduction Players should be able to differentiate a crash, a player leaving and a player being desynchronized. Desync is the fact that one or more player gets disconnected from a online multiplayer game. It's caused by differences in the game state between the game clients. Below I tried...

Hello guys, Since now editor officially support Lua scripting and we all know Lua is a quite common and widely used language, I wonder will it avoid all or part of memory leak problems by using Lua instead of JASS? Actually the biggest blocker prevent me to create custom games is it forced me...

There's something weird (not) happening. BlzUnitHideAbility and BlzUnitDisableAbility are not working in certain cases. The calls to SetupCtrls in the initializer work as expected. When ButtonControlCndAcn is triggered (SPELL_CAST event) to "OPEN", CTRL_SFX and CTRL_CAM are not hidden as they...

Hey Guys, I found out that the "handle" type is the parent type of the variables you define in the Trigger Editor GUI. JASS Manual: Types It is also some kind of "pointer". So I thought nice gonna use it like in C++ then: Defined a variable with type ability (derived from: <-agent<-handle)...

The trick part is that some heroes have abilities based on tauren chieftain's revive, so I can't just remove a hero once he dies, he needs to be "revivable" (meaning that when he died he wasn't on CD) I tried doing this But it doesn't work, the hero is still revivable. Anyone knows how to...

Hello i have been reading about why older maps dont work on newest patches and it seems there are few bugs that can cause this and one of them is the return BUG that i cant seem to figure out. I'm not that much in Jass im just trying to make this old map playable in that state that it is. Make...

Is it possible to get the screen resolution or aspect ratio of a player via GUI or jass? I want to assign different cameras to players, based on their screen resolution/aspect ratio. Some video settings cut off vital parts of the screen, if all player are using the same camera. Or is there...

I need a very specific trigger, I found examples in both GUI and Jass which revives trees in the map every X seconds (however most use wait and I believe that wait isn't recommended, right?) Alright so: The trigger consists on reviving every single tree on the map that has been destroyed every...

Hey, so I am trying to get my campaign AI working via JASS and I am stuck at one thing - I understand the code and what it does, but I don't know how to get the unit's names. F.e. call SetBuildUnit ( 1, DRUID_CLAW ) It is DRUID_CLAW instead of DRUID_OF_THE_CLAW obviously and I figured out...

I made a shield skill that blocks x damage and shows with a floating text the % of the shield above the unit then disappears in the span of 2 seconds (until the unit is attacked or the shield skill is casted again), it works well for the most part, the problem is that I don't know how to tell...
