This is because StarCraft II uses the galaxy scripting lanuage. JASS and Galaxy are completly different lanuages synaticly so are incompatible with each other. Anything made for WarCraft III is not compatible with StarCraft II.

Moved to World Editor Help Zone as this is a WarCraft III question not a StarCraft II question.

You make reference to a "CustomPolledWait" fuction in your JASS script. This function must not have been declared or is declared after you reference it. Remember that you can only call functions that are located above the position of calling within the script file.

You make reference to a "CustomPolledWait" fuction in your JASS script. This function must not have been declared or is declared after you reference it. Remember that you can only call functions that are located above the position of calling within the script file.

This is the problem. In the map script, the CustomPolledWait function must be declared above all references to it.

but my firend can use it and no errows ?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Your friend must have the "CustomPolledWait" function declared above where he is referencing it in his script. "CustomPolledWait" definatly is not declared by native and standard blizzard scripts so you will need to declare it.

Check the map header of the map (the root of the trigger file structure) for this function if you are importing a ready made system.

i just download UI of my friend, but cannot fix it~~
can u guide me?

1. Ask your friend for his map.

2. Open his map.

3. Open the trigger editor.

4. Look on the left side.

5. Click the map's name. (above all the triggers)

6. Look on the right side and you should see some text. Look for a function named CustomPolledWait

If you don't see it in the header, then you can try looking in his other triggers. You can also open the map with an MPQ editor, and export the .j file. Then you can open it with notepad and just use CTRL+F (finder) to find the CustomPolledWait function.

7. Copy that function and paste it into your own header.

Then you should be good to go.

Alternatively, you can just use this old function by vexorian:

function CustomPolledWait takes real duration returns nothing
 local real timeRemaining
 local real st=TimerGetElapsed( bj_gameStartedTimer)
    if st <= 0 then
        set bj_gameStartedTimer = CreateTimer()
        call TimerStart(bj_gameStartedTimer, 1000000, false, null)
    endif
    if (duration > 0) then
        loop
            set timeRemaining = duration - TimerGetElapsed( bj_gameStartedTimer) + st
            exitwhen timeRemaining <= 0
            if (timeRemaining > bj_POLLED_WAIT_SKIP_THRESHOLD) then
                call TriggerSleepAction(0.1 * timeRemaining)
            else
                call TriggerSleepAction(bj_POLLED_WAIT_INTERVAL)
            endif
        endloop
    endif
endfunction

You can just put that in your map's header.

Thanks u very much, but

Here is an example (I just found it off the internet):

Image

See on the left side? Where it says "Test Map"? Click that. (for your map, it will show a different name) That is called the map's header.

this is 1 map errow.

 

[dark0804]

who can help me ~~

 

[Dr Super Good]

The trigger BichHuyet has a syntax error.

private constant real array MAX_X_DAMAGE

It is impossible to have a constant array due to how the language opperates.

Replace it with this line to fix (remove constant).

private real array MAX_X_DAMAGE

Please report this to the maker of the ability as this is a major error.

u can download and test save map.
i think not errow in map.
if i want use jass, what i must install ?

 

[SA Dashie]

You can use Jass newgen for easier use in jass.

 

[Dr Super Good]

u can download and test save map.

What on earth do you think I have done? Ofcourse I did that...

i think not errow in map.

Well you thought wrong... It is impossible to have a constant array in JASS thus why it is generating a syntax error. Where as saving generated syntax errors with the version I downloaded, once I corrected the line detailed above all syntax errors vanished and the map saved perfectly (no errors). The reason is because JASS does not allow you to initialize arrays to a value. Constants require being initialized to a value (when they are declared they must be given a value) so it is impossible to declare a constant array in JASS.

if i want use jass, what i must install ?

WarCraft III RoC and its expansion TFT. The map however uses VJASS so you will want to use the third party editor expansion JNGP (Jass New Generation Pack).
