local vs global variables

[WereElf]

By the way, is there a variable for 'e'? (2,71828...)
I still have no idea if I am going to need that, but just wondering

 

[Bribe]

That's for logarithmic stuff.

Yeah, I know what it's used for (in general) I mean, that I have no idea what may I need it for in warcraft. Was just wondering if there is a pre-made variable for it.
I checked the link SAUS posted, and found out that it's bj_E

EDIT: Has anyone ever needed bj_E for a trigger?

 

[Bribe]

I've only seen it used for armor estimation systems.

Hmm... can I get the x and y of target point of ability being cast/issued order, without setting a point to it?

 

[Bribe]

GetSpellTargetX
GetSpellTargetY
GetOrderPointX
GetOrderPointY

A good way to learn is to read through common.j and a little of Blizzard.j. Most of the stuff in Blizzard.j is useless, but others such as RAbsBJ, ModuloInteger and BJDebugMsg have their uses.

Hmm, maybe I should post this question in the JASS Questions thread, but I already have the last post there, so I'll ask it here:
If I have a paused timer, and I call TimerStart for it - do I need to resume it or no need?

 

[Bribe]

No need.
