Basic Jass Questions.

[Geshishouhu]

Hey, guys, I have some basic Jass questions:
1. What is the more efficient way to get the same result as using "GroupAddGroup"?

2. If I disable a local trigger at map initialization, how can I enable it afterwards?

3. If a trigger is disabled, can I use "ConditionalExecuteTrigger" or "Execute Trigger" to execute it? I suppose yes?

Thanks guys.

1. You could write your own and remove the unnecessary operations GroupAddGroup has. GroupAddGroup doesn't look that bad to me, if your going to use it on a non-periodic action, then why not just use it. There are issues with groups and removed units but I don't remember what. (In case you decide to write an alternative and not ForGroup.)
2. Enable the trigger on another function.
3. Try testing it. What I know is that disabling triggers turns off the event associated with them.

1. Wait a bit i'll make it if you want.
Oh sorry won't have the time this evening.
You'll have to wait tomorrow if you want it.

2. You will not be able, so i suggest you add a condition or you use a global variable for the trigger.

3. If it's disabled you can still run them (AFAIK)

Yes you can still run it(it cant be local tho, you will have no way of referencing it) because disabled trigger just dont run when the event is fired, but you can force it to run

About 1.
If you have to add groups to other groups very frequently you can use linked lists instead which allow for concatenation in constant time.
If this approach is useful for your scenario depends on which operations you run on the lists/groups (and how often).

Yes linked list can be good if you are up to use many times such a func
