Jass loc.getX()

[flacidTurtle]

Title explains what I'm trying to do. I'm very used to objects in C++ and Java, and jass doesn't have the functionality i'm trying to achieve. Can anyone explain to me how to do what i'm trying to achieve, and point me to a tutorial for struggling programmers trying to relearn syntax.

if you're unfamiliar with coding languages outside of jass, c++ and java an a nifty functionality with objects where you can access "public" variables from the object. For example

examples

init an object

public object o
public o
{
int x;
int y;
}

getX()
{
return x;
}

getY()
{
return y;
}

... etc

now in a main function

object o = new object();
o.x = 2;
exampleInt = 0.getX();

exampleReal would be equal to 2

Disclaimer

This is just an quick example, many things are missing for this to be completely functional.

I'm sure Purge can point you to a better guide, but this is what I used back then:
wc3c vjass has a documentation bundled with jasshelper.

If you're used to Java, you could try out Wurst language linked in my signature. It has a very similar syntax, much better than vJass' plus allows a more organized and modular code.

If you want to use vJass, just declare an object and its members, they're public by default.

struct O
    integer x
    integer y

    method getX takes nothing returns integer
        return x
    endmethod

    method getY takes nothing returns integer
        return y
    endmethod
endstruct

local O o = O.create()
set o.x = 2
set exampleInt = o.x

Well, I think there are natives for GetLocationX(location) and GetLocationY(location)...

sadly, jass doesn't use the object oriented approach of those other languages...

Great System... implemented in our Mod ( look signature )
