Hello HiveWorkshop, I'm a noob.

Hi, I'm AnOriginalUserName. I'm starting out with JASS and am helping a friend do triggers for his map. He called on me to do it because he knows I have experience in programming and figured I could learn JASS easily enough. So, can anybody link me to a relatively basic tutorial detailing basic syntax in JASS, and hopefully how to make a simple trigger or two. Everytime I've googled "Jass tutorial" I come up with a youtube video or something on hw to do some very specific aspect, such as "Create X ability using JASS!"

Other then the general info, here are certain I'm interested in:

1. How to create units in the initialization trigger

2. How to create a new unit when something else happens (e.g. When X dies, Y is created)

3. Basic hero abilites. This is probably a very extensive subject, but I'd like to know some basic functions such as how to create a simple single-target nuke without just using a basic abillity in the ability editor based on Fireball or some other ladder ability, with assorted numeric values changed

Hopefully with this, I'll be able to get started on my friend's map.

Thank you all for the time you spend helping me through my noobyness!
