easy funtion question

[T. D. W.]

ok, the question is easy, how to make a function i written call-able from any trigger, with another way than writing it in the script headers?
PS: NO vJASS

 

[pOke]

I don't think you can , its either in the map header or in a library which is vjass.

:/
I'll stick to this then:

call TriggerExcecute(Trigger)

 

[Xonok]

You can easily. Just place the required function higher up in the triggers.
I mean place the trigger that it is inside of.
This will take an editor restart to have any effect, but then it should work.

 

[T. D. W.]

You mean in the headers? (The blue script icon) if not, the explain more cuz i don't see where, if yes, i said i don't want it in the headers since it is for a spell that i will upload here, so i can't add it to the headers

No not the header.

In the game script the trigger JASS is written in the exact same order as your triggers.

So if you have:
Trigger1
Trigger2
Trigger3

Then each one can use the functions from previous ones.

I think it would be a problem for people importing the system...
Yet thx for the info

You can just tell them to not change the order of triggers.

 

[Dr Super Good]

You can also call the function directly with...

native ExecuteFunc takes string funcName returns nothing

Which has the advantage of no trigger objects having to be maintained but comes with a performance penalty. At least I think so.

 

[Daffa]

Remember that how Jass indexes trigger is based on how old it is.

Making a function on a trigger then use it on another trigger is very simple, but the main issue as always on running the custom functions you made.

You need to disable EVERY trigger that was made before that function. So that Jass Form of the Map will reindex everything [and thus, the function is on the head after header's function]. This result that the custom function of your can be called form any trigger aside header.

In VJass, we can use private library [function?] instead of normal [aka global] function.

EDIT :

DSG's suggestion might coming handy as well.

Moving to Triggers & Scripts. JASS Class is just for questions about the class itself.

@drsuper good
Is that for vJass? If yes, sorry but that's not ehat i am searching for
@daffa
It's for a spell that i will upload here, so....
@pnf
The tutorial didn't help, i firstly said that i don't want it in the header

@all
I think that it is impossible without vJass isn't it?

 

[ngkn92]

only GUI, isn't it?

So create a trigger contain that function. Then turn on, off it in other trigger you want to.
(how a GUI user know about function ?? )

 

[defskull]

There are 2 ways to write custom function with no vJASS (my knowledge so far).

1. Header
2. Trigger

To gain further knowledge on how you can write your own custom function in GUI Trigger (not in Header) - see this coding: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...6/?prev=search=damage%20detection&d=list&r=20

The use of function functionName takes value returns value is how you would write the function.
Then you need to create the trigger, I usually create it as a local trigger t

You can take a look at this test map on how to create custom function via GUI.

I created a custom function named Party that takes unit as its argument.
Then, the function is called to kill the unit - because I set it so.

^ defskull

• Initialize
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call ExecuteFunc("CustomFunction")
    • Custom script: endfunction
    • Custom script: function Party takes unit u returns nothing
    • Custom script: call KillUnit(u)
    • Custom script: endfunction
    • Custom script: function CustomFunction takes nothing returns nothing
    • Custom script: local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    • Custom script: call TriggerAddAction(t, function Party)
    • Custom script: set t = null

And another one

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call Party(GetTriggerUnit())

And it work. I was like "oh my f**king God".
But this is Jass, right? Then I think Jad ( who create thread) wont be happy.

-- edit --
I understand it know. Cause in Jass it have //=== to separate upper thing and below. Well. Great work.

 

[defskull]

EVERYTHING in Trigger Editor, is in JASS.
It's just GUI made writing looks neater, while the actual script is actually in JASS.

He doesn't want it in vJASS - it's an add-on.
It's an injection to your Warcraft III World Editor that has many more features and performance.

Tell you what, why don't you write a simple trigger and Convert to Custom Text under Edit tab ?
You will see the JASS script, here's an example;

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: HELLO WORLD

function Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), "TRIGSTR_001" )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Melee_Initialization takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Melee_Initialization = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Melee_Initialization, function Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions )
endfunction

Game - Display to (All players) the text: HELLO WORLD is equivalent to call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), "TRIGSTR_001" )

The "TRGSTR_001" has taken HELLO WORLD as its argument therefore it is simplified there.

I like Jass ( vJass more). Cause I'm stuck with a full vJass map.
But then I know vJ. It's really amazing.
------
I see your map, since you have to Custom Script all of that thing. Just vJass, and everything're done

 

[T. D. W.]

@ngkn92
I know Jass, it's just that i want to see the method without vJass
@deskful
I will try it right up..

 

[T. D. W.]

~~~~~Tested it, and like ngkn92, I was like "oh my f**king God" it works
Even if the function call when cast is before the trigger!
SO, thanks a lot defskull, and +rep

Problem Solved, Close Thread

Is that for vJass? If yes, sorry but that's not ehat i am searching for

No... What makes you think that a native has anything to do with vJASS?

vJASS uses the trigger evaluation method to implement dynamic calls. The reason is, if I recall, that the native I showed is slower than trigger evaluation, specifically using conditions to run the function only. However that native I provided was used ages before vJASS and works very well for situations where you do not want the trigger overhead. It was even improved in one of the last patches so it no longer crashes Warcraft III process if an invalid function name is passed to it.

O_?
I was at school when i replied about your post.. I haven't time to test it... + the explanations you gave weren't very detailed on how to do it...

by the way if

trigger 1
if condition true
called trigger 2,

then trigger 2
after all process
can it makes the trigger 1 skip the remaining action? before trigger 2 ends and back to trigger 1

You mean like this ?

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: hey
    • Trigger - Run Trigger 2 <gen> (ignoring conditions)
    • Skip remaining actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: delilah

• Trigger 2
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: there

Trigger above will only display "hey" and "there" - "delilah" won't be shown because it has been skipped ?

I can't quite understand what you are trying to ask.

 

[T. D. W.]

@Mikagami, here is how what you want should work:

Untitled Trigger 001 Events Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time Conditions Actions Set temp_boolean = false Game - Display to (All players) the text: TEST 1 If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Whatever) Equal to True Then - Actions Trigger - Run Untitled Trigger 002 <gen> (checking conditions) Else - Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (temp_boolean) Equal to True Then - Actions -------- Continue the process HERE -------- Game - Display to (All players) the text: TEST Complete Else - Actions

Untitled Trigger 002 Events Conditions Actions Game - Display to (All players) the text: TEST 2 If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Random integer number between 1 and 10) Less than 5 Then - Actions Set temp_boolean = true Else - Actions

^ This will if the random number is lower than 5, make the trigger 1 continue the process where the comment is and if it is higher than 5, nothing will happen

 

[mikagami]

@defskull no... thts not what I mean, I mean run trigger 2 from trigger 1 then within trigger 2.... its make the rest of trigger 1 skip remaining action.... so if trigger 1 dont activated trigger 2, then its still have trigger/line to go....

@jad aaah thts it, I can passed condition, create var value and when the function back to trigger 1 I can set the condition to make it skip or not...

GOt it, thx
