[JASS] Convert integer to code

[Wietlol]

Hi all.

Why can't I do this?

function try takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = try    
    
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_Test_Settings, function i)
endfunction

When I do call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_Test_Settings, try)
I see that "try" is an integer and so I have to put the keyword "function" before it.
But why doesn't it work with real integers?

What? I don't get what your problem is.

Well... Blizzard doesn't allow us to do code array
But when I forget to put "function" in TriggerAddAction(), TriggerAddCondition() functions, JASSHelper tells me that that function is actually an integer.

So I thought, maybe I can simulate code array with integer array.

I want that because I am making an event system this week.
I can indeed just run triggers on the events but it would be nice if I could run functions directly.

The function is not an integer, its just that JassHelper replaces function names with integers so that you can asign them to an integer variable.

But thats a compile-time conversion. What you would need is a run-time conversion.

However, there is not even a compile-time conversion back from integer to code, so that can't work.

is there another way to save functions in an array or hashtable?

To make it short, no.
