[General] Some very simple questions

[jonhysone]

Hi guys , I'm wondered about somethings that I've seen in Ultimate WE and JNGP :

1- What are Rects (Should be regions but why not named regions?) ..
2- What are trackables ?
3- I wanna learn JASS , although I hate it . But it's helpful/useful . What's the different between JASS and vJASS ? Where do I start from?


Note : Please don't link any tutorials , I don't learn from them ( yes probably )

Rects and regions are different.
Rects are parallelogram(specifically rectangular) areas. Region consists of one or more rects. The Region in GUI is actually rect in JASS.

Trackables is a very poor handle group made by Blizzard. It is a handle which looks like an destructable. Trackables are used for retrieving mouse evens(click or hover). They are also created just like units or destructables, they specific models, coordinates and facing

Jass is the original programming language for Warcraft 3 maps, it is created by Blizzard.
vJass is a 3rd party language which is Jass but has very advanced features, this is to help the users to code easily. It is created by Vexorian.
You could try learning Jass by going on tutorials, reading/testing natives, using Custom script(which where I learned)

You must learn from tutorials, if you don't learn from them, then you have a problem in comprehending reading materials.

Hahaha Thank you . Now i understand . About vJASS . What's a 3rd party?
Also , I will try to learning from tutorials :S +rep

3rd party is a reference. it means that is wasnt made by the original creator. it was made by someone else not on the team that created that game either. so 1st party is the creator of the game. 2nd party is the team that helped to create the game and 3rd party is someone that made something for the game that has nothing to do with the 1st or 2nd party

u can try my tutorial converting GUI to efficient jass as it familiarizes u with something u already know. mybe it will help u even tho it is a tutorial.

I've heard a lot of users (Pro and Noob alike) saying you should avoid using Ultimate WE because it contains a lot of bugs.

 

[deathismyfriend]

yes WEU is very dangerous to use as it is very easy to corrupt ur map. Also it is pointless since JNGP does everything WEU does but without any of the bugs.

WEU is very trashy. JNGP has all of its features. That's why JNGP is the no. 1 Warcraft 3 3rd party tool in the Warcraft 3 community.

[deathismyfriend]

[BloodDrunk]

[deathismyfriend]

no more people use vanilla WE, you obviously havent been around on battle.net/garena for a while

how would that tell u who uses which one.

 

[Arhowk]

how would that tell u who uses which one.

I have a group of like 5 friends who all use WE (except for one who took a year to get converted to jngp) and whenever their friends ask me, theyre always using WE.

Sure the popular maps use JNGP, but the majority of mappers use WE

well thats possible if u ask ppl but that has nothing to do with using battle.net or gerena

How would 'Most' Of people use WE , While 'Most' Of famous maps use 'JNGP' ? Isn't this a negative situation ?

no lol

most famous maps can be made with JNGP and at the same time most ppl could create maps with normal WE.

Both yes and no.
Yes, because it is implemented already in our Warcraft III files.
No, because JNGP sometimes makes things impossible possible.
