Almia thanks for your answer but i have JNG
so what you copy pasted i can access anytime, what i want to know is what they do?
not as function but as what they really do to the game mechanics, how they affect the gameplay?

i think ALLIANCE_PASSIVE set the relation to neutral
so probably the spell wich target neutral will be able to target the player who is ALLIANCE_PASSIVE , true.
the SHARED_VISION mean you can see the other player...
what is SHARED_VISION_FORCED?
what is the difference between SHARED_CONTROL and SHARED_CONTROL_ADVANCED?
is there no tutorial about that and how alliance work and affect gameplay?
what is HELP_RESPONSE and HELP_REQUEST?
SHARED_XP does it mean the ally will get some part of the player XP gained from killing unit?
SHARED_SPELL what does that mean? what happen if this is set to true or false?

also i would like confirmation about this:
if player 1 treat player 2 as enemy with vision
does that mean player can see player 2 and is enemy to player 2? or the opposite?

 

[Almia]

I think its like those that can be seen in the player properties(where you can edit the teams,team names,)
About your question,no.
If you didnt check the box that says Player 1 and 2 are allies,then the shared vision will be deactivated

Almia first of all thanks a lot for trying hard to help...

but are you sure of what you are talking about?
[Trigger=]
Initialisation mêlée
Events
Conditions
Actions
Joueur - Make Joueur 1 (Rouge) treat Joueur 2 (Bleu) as an Ally with shared vision
Joueur - Make Joueur 1 (Rouge) treat Joueur 2 (Bleu) as a Neutral with shared vision
Joueur - Make Joueur 1 (Rouge) treat Joueur 2 (Bleu) as an Ennemi with shared vision
[/Trigger]

so these GUI function are completly stupid and useless and were made by Drunk blizzard programmer?
when you choose ally you can set with or Without vision.
same as all other setting: neutral and enemy

in function Jass you can see that all function are separate into diverse constant with boolean flag...
so you are saying that when you set alliance enemy vision, the game set alliance enemy no vision? so what is the use of this function?

about the rest you didn't explain anything i asked...
you are very kind to try to help and answer... so thank a lot for your time, but what i need is someone who actually know and can answer.
if it is guessing, i allready made many guess, but the game programation need boolean true or false... no maybe.

Blizzard is the most genius team in the world which he even created his very slow functions w/c serves as a wrapper for the GUI

the other questions you asked i cant answer.

Lets contact Geries coz he is a genius
