So, what i need to do: 1) Play specific unit portrait; 2) Play specific sound; 3) Ping on minimap where specific unit is located; 4) There must be no text on screen when i do this. Before current patch of war3, i used DoTransmissionBasicsXYBJ (or just default gui), and it worked. Now, it parses...

Warcraft 3 modding community led me to take Computer Science course and I am really thankful for it. I was like 11 or 12 when I created my first spell and posted it on here (dont look it up, its really bad) and now I'm back for reforged. I'm using Jass now and created a physics and missile...

I'm working on a spell based on flame strike , but it doesn't work for some reason , as you can tell the spell is supposed to do damage to units in target area ONCE, I chose flame strike as a base because of the spell aoe effect since I tried it with channel and it didn't work. Please Help...

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)...

Hey , I'm new to jass and still learning , I could make some triggers but this one is not working for me, We have two groups of units , each group belongs to an player enemy to the other , the goal is that a random dragonhawk unit in the player (0) group will leash a random unit from the other...

Sorry if im asking at the wrong place. I know WC3 had a thriving community a few years back , are there any useful guides and resources to learn and start a project and hope to have people who play/test it? I do know basic JAVA so maybe the entry barrier isn't that high (I hope). But I'm not...

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...

GUIvJASS Basics ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ PrefaceGUI is nice to see and manage, but it's slower than JASS as everyone already knows. But having every single trigger written in JASS can cause creeping headaches for some. So, why not use them together? GUI's LimitsWe know that JASS can do all...

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...

In the last couple of months, we have reached over 100 stars on GitHub, updated our homepage, and as usual caught up with support for Warcraft 3 patches 1.30.2 and beyond. Tool updates The wurst family of tools now supports the latest battle.net stable patch (1.30.2). The wurst language was...

Im a c++ developer and am trying to help a friend work on a wc3 custom map. I am new to jass but I saw that the 1.30.2 update made vjass and jasshelper included in the world editor. from what I have read as of the 1.30.2 update TESH and other helpers no longer work on the world editor. My...

Does anyone know if things like if (GetLocalPlayer() == p) BlzSetAbilityIcon(abilId,icon) BlzSetAbilityExtendedTooltip(abilId, tooltipExtended, 1) BlzSetAbilityTooltip(abilId, tooltip, 1) will cause desyncs? I'm interested in changing ability icons/text for different players, but I...

Hello dear Hiveworkshop Programmers, I am currently getting into Mapmaking again and I am confronting myself with WurstScript. I installed JRE. Then installed VS Code and installed the WurstScript Plugin. Then I proceeded to start the "WurstInstaller" and set the paths correctly to my...

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...

Please close this thread

Greetings. Well, I want to make a cinematic for my map, and I came across a function CinematicModeExBJ and looking at it, I don't even really know how to optimize it. It's a surprisingly good BJ function, as far as I have seen them: function CinematicModeExBJ takes boolean cineMode, force...

Hello. I've gotten into JASS quite recently, and currently, am working on push/knockback abilities. I think, at least, that I've gotten the hang of the ones for single units, but now, I've been trying to create a boss ability, that knocks all the units away from the caster - a mass...

Hey there everyone, I've been away for 2.5 years or so, and finally found my map back that I had started then. I made a custom race, using a custom build animation, which, at some point in time worked, I remember. But when I loaded up the map and tried it out, I got tons of "Unknown compile...

Hello. I have been meaning to implement a damage detection system in my map that is Hero centric; i.e every player will have 1 Hero, and only damage dealt to the Heroes or their targets will trigger the event. I am not good at Jass Coding or any of the sort, I just use it whenever I need to...

hey everyone, im new to AI script creating and i followed several tutorial which seems to have worked for me. the very simple AI i created works fine in a standalone map, however when i try to use it in a campaign map it does not work. cagn anyone identify the problem?(the syntax checker says...

I made a test in WarCraft 3 1.26a. I filled 2 arrays of reals with the powers of 2 from 0 to -13. The first array was filled by 'hand', and the values of the second were produced by computation of WarCraft 3. In addition, I put a check if the same powers stored in arrays will differ. This check...

So iam a noob in Jass/GUI, however i'am starting to get it.. slowly but steadily.. However, now to my question : As a practise I want to make a Chat Message for all Players (in Jass ofc) that shows a result of a math problem. In Pic 1 you can see my script. In Pic 2 u can see the error I get...

I am using the SharpCraft extended bundle at the moment. I understand that you can get debug messages within the game while it's running, but the functionality of the debug client seems more appealing to me. Unfortunately it seems to me like that functionality is not available in SharpCraft...

Hello Hive I'm struggling to choose timer or wait to implement my solution. I have gone through the forum and read mixed claims about both of them. That they can cause desync themselves(which i doubt), one is more accurate than other and opposite. I don't want to choose one without...

Hey there, I'm an old mapmaker who's returning to wc3 after several years and my memory is failing me. Can you not declare globals inside a trigger? I feel like I used to be able to do that, yet I'm getting an "unknown compile error" from it. I also tried putting them in the map header and had...

Something in this script causes the map not to be able to run it. I've been trying different undead scripts and they seem to be working. I also copied each function from the broken script to the working script one by one, and it worked until I copied the attack waves (possibly looping waves), so...

Hello, is there any way that I could use triggers or Jass to issue a worker to build certain buildings at specific locations like X and Y.

Hello fellow Hiveminds, I am looking for some helping hands in my project, working title "The far depths" The game is primarily a dungeon crawler and will feature several Game modes to play in. I am going for a Survival-Horror look and feel, which is going to hammer home the fear and dread that...

This is a quick insight post about a topic that came out of my review of Paint Bomb v1.00 . My review notes: And @KILLCIDE is interested in my review in the context of becoming a better programmer. Among my critiques, I consider this the most important point (though possibly not the most...

Hiho, I get syntax errors on these lines of simple globals declaration: I know in vanilla editor there can only be one globals block, but I'm using WEX and I thought it somehow merges it to the precompiler. Is there a way I don't have to use the variables-editor from WE? Maybe disabling the...

Hello, it's me getting stuck again. :/ "Action" won't show up after training a hero, unless i type "not" before the condition, but that just means my heroes aren't seen as heroes for some odd reason. Any ideas why could that be? globals integer array heroLevel endglobals function...

Hi, so I have a few questions about the editor I have this map I want to make and it's mainly data driven. I'm stuck at the moment because I really need a class to get what I'm after. when you build a farm, it needs to have a lot of unseen data which can be linked together. for example, a...

Some backstory: I was having an issue with my libraries needing to reference each other. Players select a scenario, a round starts, a round ends, Players select a scenario...etc I was told about saving a code variable at initialization would allow this back and forth to be possible, and it...

I know a lot of people will not use trackables no matter what (and admittedly they do suck), but it is indeed possible to detect both right and left clicks (as well as hovering) using trackables, by also having an invisible destructable that is not targetable by the player, over the trackable...

Hello Guys, How to do amplifying health/mana regeneration based on current health/mana regeneration points by hardcoded or by GUI method? Thanks e.g. 10 health regeneration x 20% regeneration amplification = 12 health regeneration ;)

Hi, I recently started working with JASS. I've been practicing making spells, and I have an incomplete spell which I need some help with. In its current iteration, it should: Create the visual effect of Warstomp around caster Launch the caster into the air, then bring them back down Warstomp...

Hello all script writers sorry I'm noob on this topic. I think that hashtables look similar to arrays of arrays (2d arrays) because 2 indexes are used to recover one value, just like column and row number in a paper table, but they have different names and people write that hashtables hold a...

Well, this section says about trigger or script. I just wanted to know the history of JASS to vJASS. Before I learn vJASS, I want to learn its history first. :)

So, I was trying to remove locust in-game seamlessly (click and drag select) for my RP map, so I decided to play around with Crow Form. I thought I had everything figured out, but then my units started getting the attack type of the crow form unit, instead of their own attack type. Apparently...
