JASS Syntax Checker 0.1.7

[BxBonesBillyxB]

What does this exactly do :?:

 

[Wolverabid]

(pending) Someone operating a Mac will have to make sure that his tool works.

Erm if I knew what it is suppose to do then I could test.

 

[Strikur22]

i ran an old work in progress script i found through this right after i got it and it works well (found all those comments without //, mispelled commands, etc., basically everything you'd expect from a syntax checker).

T-up from me

 

[ace10301]

Blah, i opened it and it is not loading or finishing opening, idk what to do....

Wait it just loaded compeletly what should i enter at the starting window?

You enter any jass code and it will check it for syntax errors. Like, if you wrote "call MyFunc())" it would find that and report the line number its on.

It does not check any 'new' syntax (read: vJASS), but you can modify the .j files it draws the function lists from so that you can add your own functions to the list to prevent errors about them from popping up.

It should also be mentioned that the original creator of this tool is Jeff Pang, and the code has not been modified since its creation.

 

[Ricardo Irving]

YAY! This could get me on the road to learning JASS!

EDIT:
Or...not.

 

[Pyrogasm]

Or...not.

Eh? What's not working?

 

[Ricardo Irving]

Uhh... well... not really exactly useful? Does it check the map live, or does it need to be saved to check. And what functions does it have? Replaces errors or something?

 

[Pyrogasm]

It doesn't replace errors, but it will find them. You can use it to check a preexisting .j file or you can enter a code snippet.

It reads all of the functions from the common.j and Blizzard.j files inside the Demo JASS Syntax Check folder, so you can add your own functions to the list if you'd like.

I don't know why this wouldn't be useful. There simply ISN'T a standalone syntax checker for OS X, and this one does a much better job than the WE syntax checker anyway.

 

[Ricardo Irving]

Explain fully.

 

[Pyrogasm]

Look, if it was something you'd want to use, you'd know what I'm talking about. Or even if you didn't, you'd at least check the tool out for yourself and figure out what it does; it's really not that hard.

 

[Ricardo Irving]

Uh, but doesn't the WE disable triggers which the syntax checker think have incorrect JASS? So how will this manage to do anything?

 

[Pyrogasm]

Jesus fucking christ. It's an EXTERNAL tool. If you'd just download the goddamn program you'd see how it works and wouldn't have to ask questions like that.

 

[Ricardo Irving]

Explain more.

 

[darkwulfv]

Step 1: Download Step 2: Try it Step 3: Stop asking stupid freaking questions and figure stuff out on your own. This CHECKS JASS CODE THAT YOU PUT INTO IT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHECK IT IN THE WE OR USE ITS SHITTY SYNTAX CHECKER, AND IT WORKS ON MAC OS X. That enough of an explanation?

 

[Ricardo Irving]

Step 1: Calm down..
Step 2: Calm down the people throwing rocks at you because you are American.
Step 3: Get a life.
Step 4: Get normal friends.
Step 5: Live.

Now, the script won't export if there is an error, so how can I check it?

 

[Pyrogasm]

This does not export anything.

Seriously, are you retarded? You click the CHECK button.

 

[Ricardo Irving]

You need to seriously calm down. I have no idea what your problem is. Either you are some soldier returning from the Iraq war, with your comrades slaughtered, you are a typical redneck hillbilly, you have some kind of mental disease, you encountered zombies, or are you a Ku Klux Klan member? You are the retard! If I ATTEMPT TO EXPORT THE SCRIPT from a map, and it has a syntax problem, it does not save it: so how the fuck can I check the script hmm?

 

[Pyrogasm]

Copy.
And.
Paste.

Jesus.

The "check map script" option is intended to be used when one has an external war3map.j that one intends to import into the map, not for checking all the shit in the map.

 

[Ricardo Irving]

Let me tell you something: I TRICKED YOU!!! Haha! You are a dumb idiot who has no life! Enjoy! I knew all along! Haha!
Lol, you really hate me so much you even put the syntax checker windows covering my signature.

 

[Pyrogasm]

...because that's exactly what I intended....
