Blizzard and his nice coding

[Anachron]

Well first off, this is an offtopic about blizzard coding.

I've now learnt JASS and as more as I program the more
I get horrible things from Blizzard to see.

Those "This function is doubled" annoy me.

I think it was IsUnitAliveBJ(), what the hell?
its the same as IsUnitAlive().

And why the hell do we need to check for
destroying temporary groups?

What did blizzard thought?

And why don't they simple allow us to attach
values to variables, so we don't need to use
game caches?

And why the hell do they not added an
auto-leak-removal.

(Something that is runned after each function,
running all variables through and cleaning the
local variables)

Because Blizzard thought that we are too stupid to use their editor... or they thought we are too smart and we can do that ourselves.

True.

 

[Anachron]

But why don't they update the freaking engine, since they heared from DotA?

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Or that they didn't give a shit.

If WE costed money, they would code it better for sure, but then again, if WE costed money, = Not as many maps for battlenet = Nobody buys Wc3.

 

[Anachron]

I am saying this with a function

function CheckForWEUpdate takes integer WoWusers, real WoWmoney returns boolean
call DisplayTextToForce(GetPlayersAll(),"We would get " + (WoWusers * WoWmoney) + "money less if we make the WE better")
return false;
endfunction

If i remember corectly didn't blizzard sayed that thy do not support the editor?
if so thiers you awnser kinda.

 

[Anachron]

Ye, but with not supporting such a wonderful program it means they are not interested in ourself being good, so that means that they don't want us to be better as their coders are, or?

But that has NOTHING to do with IMPROVING the editor.

 

[Blackscar]

Honestly i dont know ,but dont forget that waracft 3 is a old game and blizzard has its wow ,starcaft 2 older games ten to get abandoned in the end. asc.

And showing blizzard's enploys that you are beter then their coders will create envy.

So there is no difference between functionBJ() and function() ?

In most cases yes, but in some cases its quite the same, just that the BJ calls the normal function.

 

[Gilles]

Simply because they don't give a shit.

 

[Anachron]

That was your 5555th post =D Niiice

well but I would, because those programs will keep people playing wc3.

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Well, can you honestly say Blizzard gives a shit if people play Wc3..? They make enough money off WoW, anyway. They don't need Wc3 at all. The only reason it's still updating is probably because some people at Blizzard actually like the game.
