Custom scripts syntax error

[Luciano Alencar Boi]

It's been a while since I last played on creating a custom map. I'm now doing a custom melee map (new races stuff) and I realized I forgot about point leaks...

My problem is now when I use the call RemoveLocation() in custom script I get a syntax error.
I think it is because JassHelper is disabled, but I can't remember where to enable it. On the bar in Trigger Editor it is greyed out.
Does anyone know how to enable it? I got an official Blizzard Map and just started working on top of it.

In the "Trigger Editor" window, find a menu called "JassHelper" and make sure that both "Enable JassHelper" and "Enable vJass" are checked.
Those two options should be exist if you are on the latest Battle.net patch. For some reason, every maps you opened with World Editor will now have those options being disabled by default.

Edit: Another possible reason is that your map uses LUA instead of JASS. You have to convert it first to JASS so that JassHelper option is enabled.

The options are greyed out. I can't click them...
Everything is also up to date.
I think it's because the map I used as base is from the season7 maps. All of those have the JassHelper grayed out...
I'll have to export everything to new map, if there isn't a way to activate it... On new maps I can activate it.

Thanks for the help.

Ok I got i solved!

The problem was that the Map was saved as LUA instead of JASS. And the custom scripts I was used to were written in JASS...
Since I don't want to learn LUA (I barely know JASS as it is) I needed to change the script language. For that I found the answer here:

[JASS] - Changing scripting language

Hello everyone, I'm coming back to Wc3 after nearly 10 years, I still got some rust on but I'm trying to understand the working of this new functionality that allows the use of LUA scripts within maps. I've seen that some people have made map that has the script language set to LUA, I see...

For those having a similar problem:
Basically, export your triggers. Delete them all. Save. Close map. Open Map. Go to Scenario > Map Preferences > Options > Script Language > change Lua to JASS. Import your triggers. Save.
All your GUI will change from LUA to JASS (you can also do the opposite, change JASS to LUA). But your custom script will need manual changes.

Lua is probably easier to learn than JASS as Lua is a standard language widely used in the gaming industry where as JASS (specifically JASS2) is only used by Warcraft III.
