[JASS] Detect Level of Ability?

[PurgeandFire]

I'm just learning JASS, I'm a beginner of a beginner, and I'm trying to see if I can do a spell in it. Anywayz, I was wondering how to detect the level of an ability. I wasn't sure, so I converted a GUI script to JASS to see it, but it gives this:

function Trig_Illusion_Strike_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    if ( Trig_Illusion_Strike_Func001C() ) then
    else
    endif

It won't work. Do I have to specify the return area or something like that? Plz help! Also, I have another problem:

function Trig_Illusion_Strike_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    if ( Trig_Illusion_Strike_Func001C() ) then
        local unit a = GetTriggerUnit()
        local location b = GetUnitLoc(a)
        local group c = GetUnitsInRangeOfLocAll(500.00, (b))

It says that there is a syntax error in JASS craft and in WE for the:

local unit a = GetTriggerUnit()

What did I do wrong there? Plz help! :emote_smile:

First Problem ==> A function must end with endfunction.

Second Problem ==> Locals have to be defined before you do anything else in your code (right after the 'function' line)

Side Note ==> You don't have to have an else for every if

There's a pretty good step-to-step jass tutorial for beginners on this site, you should check it out immediately!

[11-04-36]native GetUnitAbilityLevel takes unit whichUnit,integer abilcode returns integer

This native returns the level of a ability.

    set a = GetUnitAbilityLevel(u,'A000')

This would set a local integer "a" to the level of the ability 'A000' for the unit "u"

Thanx, but I forgot to mention I solved this a long time ago, but thanx... I just used the "GetUnitAbilityLevel" or the "GetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped" majigger, thanx anywayz though...
@Purple-poot: I know all that, I just didn't know it at the time. Also, the endfunction was at the end of the function but I didn't post it because I thought it wasn't very important to the problem...

Ah, sorry, I thought your main problem was that it wasnt compiling >.>

EDIT: As to the If-Statement thing with the function, that function just points to another function with the condition in it. Higher up in your same 'trigger', you'll find that function with the proper data.
