[JASS] Global Regions

[spiwn]

I tried adding rects to global regions and wc3 crashed every time that was done.
(yes I am sure it was from adding a rect to a global region)
I wonder if this is normal and/or is there a way to avoid the crash while using a global region?
P.s. My region is defined in a globals vJass block.

Post your code maybe ?

And i assume you don't forget to create your region with this native CreateRegion() ?

 

[spiwn]

You assume correct.
The code is not specific, but here is an example:

globals
    region r=CreateRegion()
endglobals
function something takes nothing returns nothing
    call RegionAddRect(r, gg_rct_rect000)
endfunction

I just wonder
This is easily avoidable(in my case).
But it would be good if I and anyone who saw this thread knew whether this causes problems.

 

[Troll-Brain]

But you said you use Vjass.
You use the function something after gg_rct_rect000 and r are initialized ?
Check in the script of the map directly (war3map.j).

Lol...
You seem to have very limited knowledge of vJass(if any).
gg_rct_rect000 is a rect created in the WE(main window; Somehow I thought that would be clear to anyone who has used rects created that way).

i had already with vJass a bug save compilation so it's not very funny xD

Oh and maybe you can't use the native CreateRegion() directly with declare the variable.
I know you can't do it for all natives functions but dunno which ones exactly.

 

[spiwn]

That may be so, but game crashes when I add the rect - if I do not add it, game does not crash.

 

[Troll-Brain]

But maybe the region is still not created.

Did you try that :

library MyLibrary initializer init

   globals
       region R
   endglobals

   public function init takes nothing returns nothing
      set R= CreateRegion()
   endfunction

endlibrary

function something takes nothing returns nothing
    call RegionAddRect(R, gg_rct_rect000)
endfunction

Troll-Brain is on the same track, it is crashing when initializing a rect or a region the same time you create the global.(the rect was added for info, since that thing happend me once).

Thus, I found this to work.

globals
    region r
endglobals

function test takes nothing returns nothing
    set r = CreateRegion()
    call RegionAddRect(r, gg_rct_rect000)
endfunction

Its kind of the same as Troll-Brain did ._. I noticed that after, sorry for that

 

[Troll-Brain]

So it's because you can't use the native CreateRegion and Rect the same time you create the variable.
If you really want to know why, ask blizzard.

Personally i avoid using natives in a declaration of a global variable.
I know it works for CreateTimer and CreateTrigger, but i don't want test the other natives, so i always use an initializer function.
