Imported spell not working

[poopsiedoodle707]

I am trying to use a spell I downloaded from this website on one of my maps. I copied the spell over, and it didnt work. i copied the unit over, and it changed the spell to one that i made. This happened for rain of arrows and i think the other was shadow shot. please help!

Make sure you have created all necessary variables as well.

 

[poopsiedoodle707]

does that mean

that i have to go to the trigger editor thingy and copy the variable list?

 

[Elvendan]

You need to create all variables that are used in that spell.

 

[poopsiedoodle707]

i copied like the whole spell over to the map.

Inside World Editor, go to [File > Preferences] And check the ''Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data''

After you've done that, try copying the spell again. Should work :]

didnt work :/

Would you upload the map here? Perhaps we can point out the problem.

 

[poopsiedoodle707]

ill try.

 

[ap0calypse]

You are using JNGP, right...?

 

[poopsiedoodle707]

whats jnpg??? im new to map making and that kind of stuff.

 

[ap0calypse]

It's a modified World Editor, required to import spells like that.
It stands for "Jass New Gen Project" (JASS is Warcraft's coding language, and just... the new generation of it, vJASS etc).

JNGP thread link

Perhaps you should learn the basics first though...

 

[poopsiedoodle707]

i dont think i am.

 

[ap0calypse]

Then we've found the problem.

Either use JNGP, or don't import vJASS spells.

 

[poopsiedoodle707]

im trying to use jass and trying to test the map but its not letting me open warcraft with jass.

 

[ap0calypse]

...What?

 

[poopsiedoodle707]

i click test map, and it says warcraftIII has stopped working Windows can check online for a solution to the problem. -->check online for a solution and close the program
-->close the program

[ap0calypse]

Oh, okay, but don't say you're "trying to use jass", because JASS is a scripting language, not a program.
The program is called JNGP.

Windows can always check online for solutions, but can never actually find a solution, so don't trust windows on that.
There are already millions of threads about JNGP not working, including the JNGP thread I linked above.
I can't help you in this case, as "Warcraft III has stopped working" just isn't enough information for me.

 

[poopsiedoodle707]

oh. well im just telling you what it said.
