How can i make jass function global?

How can i make jass function global?
I usually create a library.

library MyLib initializer Init requires ...

But if I defined func outside of lib it is not available unless I require the lib.
Can I make it global somehow so I don't need to bother?

In the Trigger Editor at the very top click on the file name and copy paste the function into the Custom Script section. Is that what you mean?

It's not available for some reason

I'm pretty sure the code just needs to be above everything else that uses it. So position your "global" functions at the very top of the trigger editor hierarchy.

See i have this RegionLib for example

library RegionLib requires TextLib

   function GetRandomPointInRect takes rect r returns location
       local real minX = GetRectMinX(r)
       local real minY = GetRectMinY(r)
       local real maxX = GetRectMaxX(r)
       local real maxY = GetRectMaxY(r)
       local real x = minX + GetRandomReal(0, maxX - minX)
       local real y = minY + GetRandomReal(0, maxY - minY)
       return Location(x, y)
   endfunction

function GetRandomPointInCircle takes location center, real radius returns location
   local real angle = GetRandomReal(0, 2 * bj_PI)
   local real distance = GetRandomReal(0, radius)
   local real x = GetLocationX(center) + distance * Cos(angle)
   local real y = GetLocationY(center) + distance * Sin(angle)
   return Location(x, y)
endfunction

endlibrary

can I invoke a global function from lib func somehow?..

It is supposed to be at the top

If what I suggested didn't work, you may need to prefix the function call with the name of your library.

Not in the header, I mean just position the script above the other scripts. Like how Sun Goes Down is above Morning Sun.

You will need to wrap your BJ function into another library and make the RegionLib require the new library.
The reason is because in the generated .j file library functions are placed at the top, after them its the map header's script and other scripts.
For example, I've put the 'bj' function into map header and added your RegionLib, this is the generated .j file script:

j file script

globals
//globals from RegionLib:
constant boolean LIBRARY_RegionLib=true
//endglobals from RegionLib

//JASSHelper struct globals:
endglobals

//library RegionLib:
    function GetRandomPointInRect takes rect r returns location
        local real minX= GetRectMinX(r)
        local real minY= GetRectMinY(r)
        local real maxX= GetRectMaxX(r)
        local real maxY= GetRectMaxY(r)
        local real x= minX + GetRandomReal(0, maxX - minX)
        local real y= minY + GetRandomReal(0, maxY - minY)
        return Location(x, y)
    endfunction
    function GetRandomPointInCircle takes location center,real radius returns location
        local real angle= GetRandomReal(0, 2 * bj_PI)
        local real distance= GetRandomReal(0, radius)
        local real x= GetLocationX(center) + distance * Cos(angle)
        local real y= GetLocationY(center) + distance * Sin(angle)
        return Location(x, y)
    endfunction

//Struct method generated initializers/callers:

Notice that the 'bj' function is placed lower than functions from RegionLib.
The rule is that you can only call functions that are placed earlier in the script - because the bj function is placed below, it cannot be called and you get an error.

Edit: Basically -

function A takes nothing returns nothing
   // some code here
endfunction

function B takes nothing returns nothing
   // some code here
endfunction

Function B can call A, because A is placed earlier in the script. Function A will not be able to call B, because it is placed later/below in the script.

hmm, cood be cool to place my funcs on top op libraries )
