Does jasshelper now ship with standard warcraft 3?

[AtheosTG]

I can't seem to be able to remove Jasshelper. I want to use lua and i think JH is giving me trouble.
However simply deleting the folder only results in it re-downloading.

Anything i should know?

1.31.0 Patch Notes

(Beta) Added Lua as a supported scripting language. To create a Lua map:

1. Create a blank map
2. Open Scenario > Map Options
3. Select Lua from the Script Language dropdown

• Maps save in the selected language
• Maps that are written only in standard libraries can switch to Lua
• Maps that use custom script will have to disable all custom triggers before conversion

1.31.0 Patch Notes

That wasn't my question.
My question is if Jasshelper is now inbuilt in WC3 editor.

As for lua, the issue is that "Convert to custom text" doesn't seem to work when LUA is enabled.

Jasshelper is builtin and can be enabled or disabled when having a map in jass mode. Jasshelper is not used in Lua mode.
What you want from convert to custom text? It is not needed to write Lua Code, there are this new script files which don't expect anything unlike as custom text.

I might be mistaken on something.
In JASS, i can convert GUI to jass to look up apis. Is that not possible with LUA?

Also, i've been trying basic melee init in lua:

function Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions()
    MeleeStartingVisibility(  )
    MeleeStartingHeroLimit(  )
    MeleeGrantHeroItems(  )
    MeleeStartingResources(  )
    MeleeClearExcessUnits(  )
    MeleeStartingUnits(  )
    MeleeStartingAI(  )
    MeleeInitVictoryDefeat(  )
end

-- Trigger Init
function InitTrig_Melee_Initialization()
    gg_trg_Melee_Initialization = CreateTrigger(  )
    TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Melee_Initialization, Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions )
end

This throws syntax errors on save. I can't seem to find quick intro into coding lua into we so i'm a bit confused.

Did you enable Lua mode inside Scenario - map Options?

 

[AtheosTG]

Yep.

Update: I've been able to run Lua code, but i'm not sure i'm making it the right way. Also it doesn't seem to be possible to register a trigger from lua. Can anyone confirm/deny?

What i've been able to do so far:

• Test
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: luaInit()

on an other object, doing New -> Custom Script:

function luaInit()
    MeleeStartingVisibility(  )
    MeleeStartingHeroLimit(  )
    MeleeGrantHeroItems(  )
    MeleeStartingResources(  )
    MeleeClearExcessUnits(  )
    MeleeStartingUnits(  )
    MeleeStartingAI(  )
    MeleeInitVictoryDefeat(  )
end

This is as far as i got.

It is okay, but kinda ugly.

There is no initTrig for custom written Lua. Hence Bribe wrote [Lua] Global Initialization. It executes wanted functions at/pre map init.

Ah, thank you. It seems i'm getting the hang of it now. Thread can be closed i guess.
