[JASS] How to use the Jass library via GUI?

[Helheim]

I want to implement this library in my GUI map.

[vJASS] - Detect Reforged

Plug and play library/snippet Might be useful for debugging. Requires - [vJASS] - Sync Local Booleans or equivalent ([vJASS] - Sync (Game Cache), or the new BlzAPI functions) to sync values HOW IT WORKS: It creates a (platform - Walkable destructable) Throne ('XOkt' destructable ID)...

But I have no idea:

• how to make it run via GUI trigger?
• how to convert a state of private boolean array Reforged into GUI Global boolean array? Or do I just need to declare the IsReforged boolean array in my map?
• where the hell one could find a TimerUtils lib? It seems to be erased everywhere by time... It says it's optional, but I'm not sure of side effects if it's missing...

I've tried to create a trigger named DetectReforged with this library and call it by

• Custom script: call DetectReforged.Init()

but it fails:

DetectReforged is not of a type that allows . syntax

Will appreciate any help!

Edit: I've found some debug messages in the script. Turned them on. It seems this library runs automatically after map initialization...

The correct answer should be like "add string set udg_YourBoolean[GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())]" instead of private boolean reforged, dude!".
Meh, those vJass snobs...

See this code here, this is where the Reforged boolean array is set for each player:

    private function AssignReforgedFlag takes nothing returns nothing
        set Reforged[GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())] = GetSyncedBoolean()
    endfunction

But we want to use a GUI variable, so create your own Boolean array in the Variable Editor.
Then simply set your GUI variable in this function instead:

    private function AssignReforgedFlag takes nothing returns nothing
        set udg_ReforgedFlag[GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())] = GetSyncedBoolean()
    endfunction

udg_ is the prefix that tells Jass code that you're referencing a GUI variable instead of a variable created in Jass.

Instead of that chunky library + its requirements, you could actually use this sweet function.

function IsReforged takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetLocalizedString("REFORGED") != "REFORGED"
endfunction

At Map Initialization, set a boolean variable to the return value of the above function via custom script.

• Setup
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_IsReforged = IsReforged()

• Check
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • IsReforged Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Else - Actions

Thank you! I've remembered that prefix, but I thought it was for GUI only. Now it works as intended.

Instead of that chunky library + its requirements, you could actually use this sweet function.

That would be an ideal way! But will it work in multiplayer?
My goal is to fix the unit's size differences in classic and reforged modes. It can ruin gameplay when some units take half of the screen space if one plays reforged. My idea was:

• For each (Integer FixScale[0]) from 1 to Max_Player_Number, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • IsReforged[FixScale[0]] Equal to Да
        • Active_Player[FixScale[0]] Equal to Да
      • Then - Actions
        • Set VariableSet PlayerLocal = (Player(FixScale[0]))
        • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_PlayerLocal then
        • Animation - Change BOSS_Unit[TEI_BOSS_Spawn]'s size to (180.00%, 180.00%, 180.00%) of its original size
        • Custom script: endif
      • Else - Actions

All I needed is to get IsReforged array true or false. Should I set IsReforged boolean with the same method?

• TEST
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to Max_Player_Number, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Active_Player[(Integer A)] Equal to Да
          • Then - Actions
            • Set VariableSet PlayerLocal = (Player((Integer A)))
            • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_PlayerLocal then
            • Custom script: set udg_IsReforged[bj_forLoopAIndex] = IsReforged()
            • Custom script: endif
          • Else - Actions

Just tested it, failed to compile
Ok, I've changed IsReforged trigger into a custom script trigger and now it compiles. Testing it...

You don't need a boolean array because the function will return different values for different players.

 

[Helheim]

You don't need a boolean array

You mean it's just:

• For each (Integer FixScale[0]) from 1 to Max_Player_Number, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Active_Player[FixScale[0]] Equal to Да
      • Then - Actions
        • Set VariableSet PlayerLocal = (Player(FixScale[0]))
        • Custom script: set udg_IsReforged = IsReforged()
        • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_PlayerLocal and udg_IsReforged == true then
        • Animation - Change BOSS_Unit[TEI_BOSS_Spawn]'s size to (180.00%, 180.00%, 180.00%) of its original size
        • Custom script: endif
      • Else - Actions

? Sweet!

Just tested it. Maybe I've made something wrong, but it's not working
I have no reforged, and I've set IsReforged as true by default, but it still changes the unit's size for me.

You should definitely use the library (the version in the last post that has no requirements). I was mistaken. That function only detects patch version.

That function only detects patch version.

Sad, but at least this lib works fine now. Thx everyone who was helping here!
