Jass Web Links in Strings

[Rhobox]

Hey guys,

Posting a link in a string gives a compile error "Unexpected colon".

Any idea what causes that?

Removing the https:// fixes the issue apparently.

Example:

local string Changes_Desc = "Read the Patch Notes on Discord:|n |cffffff73https://discord.gg/*LINK*|r"

You can just do that:

local string Changes_Desc = "Read the Patch Notes on Discord:|n |cffffff73https:/"+"/discord.gg/*LINK*|r"

Looks like a bug (could be old, I'm not sure).

function Bullshit takes nothing returns nothing
    local string s1 = "//"        // <--- this line throws an error
    local string s2 = "/"
    if s2 == "//" then
        call DoNothing()
    endif
    call BJDebugMsg("//")
endfunction
