Other than that, you can always check the JassHelper manual if you want to learn vJass.

But, you can also learn from other people's spells and start with basic stuff.

Hi, I thought I'd bump this instead of creating a new thread. I found those resources helpful, but I have some other questions.

1. Should I learn Jass or vJass or both? I read somewhere that its possible just to learn vJass. If both should I focus on one then move on sequentially?

2. What are the advantages of learning one over the other?

3. Do I want this: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=90999? Does it work with the latest version of Warcraft 3?


Thanks a lot for any help.

Thanks a lot! Do i need the new gen pack to even use vJass, or do it simply put the code in Wc3? Sorry for newbie questions.

I noticed that earlier! I'll definitely take a look at that later when my internet decides it wants to not suck.

Bugged how?

Nah!! it compiled my map nicely and it has a lot of libraries with no problem. The bug is with some scripts IMO.

bugged my freaking map with the initializer order got fixed

I learned vJASS/ZINC before JASS soooo I suggest starting up looking Nest's videos ^^

 

[Troll-Brain]

Huh, since vJass, Zinc, cJass or whatever are just jass preprocessors, in the end it's still jass, so it seems silly to learn vJass before jass.

It's not like jass is hard to learn anyway, except the function names because there is not only one reliable but several ones.
Just as an example sometimes it's Remove... and other times Destroy...

In addition of the JassNewGenPack i recommend also jasscraft, it's really useful to find functions and browse through jass scripts.
