"Added Custom User Interface functions to allow map makers to add, remove, and adjust UI frames"

[Duvo]

This line from the ptr patch notes particularly took my attention.

we've been given the following natives to play with in JASS, but how do we even use them?;

Have you figured out how to adjust the UI? Is it possible with triggers?

 

[Wrda]

Not in GUI.
Go to tutorials and find threads made by Taysen.
UI: OriginFrames
UI: Reading a FDF
Default Names for BlzGetFrameByName
There's quite a lot of them.

Yeah, I wish I knew how to code. I barely understand GUI lol. I just wish someone could make some sort of Jass template/GUI thing where noobs like me can just plug in numbers and edit the UI that way. Kinda like Missile GUI, where you can just edit values and get the missile you want.
