[JASS] globals block syntax error

[BeerOnTheBeach]

Hiho,

I get syntax errors on these lines of simple globals declaration:


I know in vanilla editor there can only be one globals block, but I'm using WEX and I thought it somehow merges it to the precompiler.

Is there a way I don't have to use the variables-editor from WE? Maybe disabling the syntax check(how? )

Thanks in advance,

Beer

EDIT: Also is there a way to init a unit array in a loop by increment the unit ID +1?
like:

local integer index = 1
local integer unit_id = 1
loop
set udg_units[index] = unit_id
set index = index+1
set unit_id = unit_id+1
exitwhen index = 10
endloop

or something?

In your function, did you just try to declare a globals section, like this?

function InitTrig_Globals_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    globals
        integer a
    endglobals
endfunction

If using vJASS, move globals outside of functions.

As for your second question, you have already resolved it. The only problematic part is this:

exitwhen index = 10   // Should be exitwhen index == 10

Okay i moved the globals block outside the function (makes sense) like this:

globals
   integer a = 0
endglobals


function Trig_Init_Units_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
//mycode
endfunction
//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Init_Units takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Init_Units = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Init_Units, function Trig_Init_Units_Actions )
endfunction

But it still doesn't let me activate the trigger, saying 'unknown compileerror (systax error)' on this line:

globals

vJass is enabled btw.

My guess is that I just have to deactivate the "vanilla syntax checker" but I could not find that option anywhere.

vJass does allow putting globals blocks anywhere (or at least in the global scope and function bodies, kind of like textmacros).

// vJass would gather all the globals blocks, no mater where they are, and merge them into 1
function foo takes nothing returns nothing
globals
    integer bar = 4
endglobals
    call BJDebugMsg(I2S(bar))
endfunction

In fact, this is how cJass implements its static variables, it simply puts them in a globals/endglobals block (also renaming them to be unique) and lets vJass do all the "heavy lifting".
