[JASS] filterfunc question

[Bribe]

Does this syntax?

function superman takes unit u returns nothing
    call SetUnitX( u , GetUnitX( u ) + 1 )
    call SetUnitY( u , GetUnitY( u ) - 1 )
endfunction
function go takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u = CreateUnit( Player(0) , 'hfoo' , 0,0 )
    local filterfunc f = superman(u)
    local timer t = CreateTimer()
    call TimerStart( t , 0.02 , true , f )
    set t = null
    set u = null
    set f = null
endfunction
function InitTrig takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent( t , Player(0) , EVENT_PLAYER_END_CINEMATIC )
    call TriggerAddAction( t , function go )
    set t = null
endfunction

filterfuncs are created via "Filter(function xyz)", so I think this should give errors.

 

[Bribe]

Is there anything similar that might allow setting parameters to a function before parsing TimerStart?

 

[Justify]

No People did millions of tries of attaching stuff to timers without achieving anything. The most funny is a very small timeout that is calculated with the HandleId while I2U was still "alive", so getting the old timeout after executing gets the HandleId
In jass, there is not a single function that stores it's parameters. Each function with parameters is executed immediatly!

You don't really mean filter. What you ask for is executing functions delayed.

Hmmm...
Attach data to the function inside a hashtable indexed by the timer... maybe?

I wish I could give parameters to timers, would make things so much easier

 

[Anachron]

Use a struct, that fits the need a most.

I use a simple timer attaching system. You create a timerdata variable, init it like a timer and start it and everything, then you can do td.int1 = so and so, and then the function it calls takes a timerdata variable, so you can use everything there.

Not the most elegant, but a great deal easier than hashtables, IMO. Although, the system does internally use hashtables. >.>

function funcaloid takes timerdata td returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg(GetPlayerName(Player(td.pid)))
endfunction

function something takes nothing returns nothing
    local timerdata td = timerdata.create(funcaloid, 1, false)
    set td.pid = 1
endfunction

Would recommend making your own. If you know how function interfaces work, its an easy 30 lines of code. If you dont know, try the JassHelper Manual.

After so many fails at using an alternative, I'm just going to give up and use Hashtables. The more I study JASS, the more I realize that it's really Hashtables that I want, anyway.

If you learn structs I think you'll love them more than hashtables...

I'm trying to learn everything I can but my brain can only render so much at a time

I started using GUI for the first time in August, my only programming experience prior being Excel, HTML and CSS ... and since then I've learned standard JASS and am just now learning the extended vJASS functions

at least you know some languages, I don't know even one (hmmm, a little bit of HTML)

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

I wouldnt call HTML or CSS or Excel programming.

Just me.

PHP though, that's fun!

And once you learn one langauge, the rest just become a matter of syntax.
