Have an idea for a script. (Looking for JASS teacher, I can teach you JAVA, Android)

[Joying]

Hi.

I'm a JAVA (Android) developer, and I did some map editing in the past.

I already know the basics of the editor, as well as the basics of the triggers, but I don't know much about scripting in JASS.

The idea which I would like to make:

Two separate teams.

If a team destroys the oppsing team's tower, there should be a new tower build on it's place for the destroying team, making it invulnerable for some seconds.

Basically it's like a tower destroying - capturing, zone control map.


I tried this with triggers with not that much succes.
I made a trigger which spawned a wisp to the destroyed tower's location,
then ordered the wisp to build a tower, but I couldn't made it invulnerable, no matter how I tried.


My questions are:

- Is such thing possible with JASS?
- Does 'anything' possible with JASS which possible with triggers?
- Where could I learn JASS? Where is a function list or anything like that?
- Does WC3 written in JASS?


If you can help me with this idea above in JASS, please don't hesitate! Maybe I can help you with JAVA (Android)

-It is possible with either GUI or JASS.
-Yes. Though it is not always as easy. (actually, never as easy)
-vjass manual, if you know java you should be good to go. JNGP comes with a function list built in.
-Most maps are written in GUI from what I remember.

Certainly possible with GUI and with JASS.
Everything you can do in GUI can also be done in JASS. In JASS you can do a lot more things.
A function list is inside your warcraft 3 mpq archive. The most important one is common.j, but you can probably also find them on the internet.
In case you want to get into JASS coding, you should get a tool for syntax highlighting and function lists:
I recommend using this one: SharpCraft World Editor Extended Bundle

vJASS is an extension to JASS, that adds OOP. A list of its features can be found in the manual: JassHelper 0.A.0.0
