[Unsolved] i need to know how i can port one of my warcraft 3 projects to starcraft 2

[Dr Super Good]

in warcraft 3 i used floating text and i am using the same here but each text need to be removed when a task is complete so how do i do that.

Exactly the same as in WC3.

Text Tag - Destroy (Last created text tag)

Replacing (Last created text tag) with a variable containing the appropriate text tag.

i have 5 text tags per task giver so i need to store them somewhere and remove them later. how do i store text tags so that i can remove them later.

 

[Muhahahahaaa]

one time in history there is action at the hive and i am not at home. my hint for you andreas, change your editor to english, might be a localization problem and blizz might have translated some natives in gui the wrong way.

Same way as in WC3 and that I described earlier.

Variables are slightly different from WC3 as they are a lot more logical. Standard global variables (like you are used to from WC3 GUI) are created along side triggers (literally) by right clicking the navigation panel where you want the global to be inserted and then choosing to create a new variable. This variable is shared between all threads and is accessed atomicly. With some simple flag modifications you can change the variable to an array for multiple storage in indexed space. My demo map shows this sort of variable very clearly (but obviously for a different type).

Unlike WC3 GUI you also have access to local variables (which were JASS only in WC3 and quite buggy). These are defined in the local variable section of every action block (in the case of triggers this is directly below the event block). These are thread only storage locations that cannot easily be shared between threads and any data stored in them is lost when the block returns or thread terminates. Each time an event causes a trigger to run it creates a new thread so using locals you can have storage space for things even if the trigger is running multiple times at once. My demo map shows this sort of variable in use for loop variables or intermediate results.
