[JASS] call functions from other trigs

[Flame_Phoenix]

Hi guys, I have a problem.
Imagine I have function A in trigger X, and that inside trigger X i want to access function B of trigger Y.
How can I do this ?
How can I access functions from other triggers ?

Well, the triggers are ordered in the map script in the order they were created.

You could always just put it in a library.

Mmmm how do I create a Library ?
Where can I learn it ?

It's easy to access functions in other triggers.
If you had a trigger "a" with a function "x" and want to access that function in trigger "b" then just set it like this:

Trigger a:

function x takes blablabla returns blablabla
...............
endfunction

Trigger b:

function blabla takes blablabla returns blablabla
    call x()
endfunction

Rborn_Devil, I tried that b4, but it doesn't work =S
That is why I am asking for help ...=S

You can always check systems like spell systems or something for library examples. Because most of the time, they make you call a function to make the spell or system occur. That's my idea.

It worked for me.
All I did was:
1. First make trigger a and trigger b.
2. Then I saved it as .w3x.
3. Then I added the function x.
4. Then I made the other function that used function x.
5. Then I saved again and I got no errors.
Also remember to have trigger a above trigger b

functions in JASS must be defined above where they are used, unless you do some trickery with things such as ExecuteFunc() or with triggers. Libraries allow you to move arbitrary sections of code to the top of the map script, ordering different libraries to require one another.

There is also the custom script header, but its usage is considered deprecated due to libraries.

As for "triggers" and how they get ordered in the map script: I'm unaware of the specifics of which triggers will go first in the map script, but it likely has to do with creation order or something screwed up such as that. Thus, just use vJASS and libraries...
