About Jass :D

Jass Jass Jass Jass Jass^

What will happen if I convert a regular triggers into custom text(jass),
Does it will be the same?

 

[Nestharus]

It will be the exact same. GUI code is actually JASS code in the background, and by converting it, you are seeing the actual nightmare that is GUI : P. No efficiency gain from simple conversion, you should write JASS from scratch using 0 GUI.

some tuts that could help get you started

yeah, but you cant revert it to GUI...and if you dont know jass, then you cant edit it...better to make a copy then convert it...

100% wrong

You can convert it back to GUI... CTRL+Z


And yes, the editor says that you can't convert it back as well, but it lies.

 

[mckill2009]

hmmm strange...if you're talking about 'undo', I did that but the GUI fucked up, since then I didnt try it again...

 

[Gekigengar]

yeah that happens to me too o.o sad.

100% wrong

you don't "convert" it but rather you undo the conversion

Undo > Redo

 

[Adiktuz]

if you're using the normal WE and edit the JASS code, the stupid WE would revert to the original GUI code when you hit CTRL+Z...

while on NewGen, CTRL+Z actually includes the edits you made on the script, meaning you undo first the code edits...

so in the end, the script returns back to the original GUI trigger... so you cannot make it something like, convert GUI to JASS ,edit, then hit ctrl+Z to see how it looks like in GUI...

You could write a JASS -> GUI converter though via a separate script. The problem though is GUI lacks so much support much of what one does in JASS can not be converted to GUI.
