Macro v1.2

  • Macro v1.1
  • Allows users to generate codes or simply generate CnP codes and replaces words with wanted words for much easier replacement. JASS and GUI doesn't have this kind of functionality, so I gave them the ability to do so.

    //*    Allows users to generate codes or simply generate CnP codes and replaces words
    //*    with wanted words for much easier replacement. JASS and GUI doesn't have this
    //*    kind of functionality, so I gave them the ability to do so. The system is similar
    //*    to vJASS Text Macro though has the following "ugly" features:
    //*        - Macro generates the code outside the map,read the next statement.
    //*        - Codes are generated inside a .bat file and you need to download the
    //*          generated codes from the .bat file.
    //*        - Copy paste generate codes into your map code.
    //*        - Because of these features, it uses Preload.
    //*        - You can't replace the macro variable names,
    //*          all are sequenced with an integer, so you need to use those integers
    //*          instead of these.

    //*************************************************************************************
    //*
    //*    How does Macro works?
    //*
    //*    - First,you need to create a Macro Instance:
    //*        local integer macro = Macro()
    //*    - Do declare phrase use:
    //*        call MacroAppend(whichMacro, "someStatement")
    //*    - Variables are done like these:
    //*      {1}
    //*      {2}
    //*    - Declare a phrase with macro variable
    //*        call MacroAppend(whichMacro, "someSortOfStuffLike{1} or {2}")
    //*    - Those won't be complete without declaring what is the value of the macro variable
    //*        call MacroPushArgument(whichMacro, "This") // replaces {1}
    //*        call MacroPushArgument(whichMacro, "That") // replaces {2}
    //*    - Generate code by running:
    //*        call MacroParse(m)
    //*    - Download code:
    //*        call DownloadMacro(m)
    //*
    //*************************************************************************************
    //*
    //*   About Macro Var
    //*
    //*   Noticed that Macro variables uses integers. Setting macro variable integer's value 
    //*   must be equal to how many times MacroVarSet was called to a given macro.
    //*   For example:
    //*       call MacroPushArgument(whichMacro, "that")
    //*       call MacroPushArgument(whichMacro, "this")
    //*       call MacroPushArgument(whichMacro, "those")
    //*
    //*       "that" replaces {1}, "this" replaces {2}, "those" replaces {3}
    //*   Another example:
    //*       call MacroPushArgument(whichMacro, "hahah")
    //*       call BJDebugMsg("hahah")
    //*       call MacroPushArgument(whichMacro, "hahaha")
    //*
    //*       "hahah" replaces {1} and "hahaha" replaces {2}
    //*

Meh, Very limited usage like the rest of your systems... Compile-time code shouldn't be used anyway because its not filtered through the syntax checker. This system can also not use any vJass or ZINC functions. This is also less efficient than JNGP textmacros because it uses alot of preload functions where JNGP is raw with 0 extra functions.

I'd recommend changing

JASS:
    call MacroVarSet(m, "Destructable") // replaces {1}
    call MacroVarSet(m, "destructable") // replaces {2}

to

JASS:
    call MacroVarSet(m, 1, "Destructable") // replaces {1}
    call MacroVarSet(m, 2, "destructable") // replaces {2}

e/ Oh, your supposed to copy the generated code... I still dont understand this why do you do desktop applications in JASS? its so inefficient.

2e/

Code:

package easy;

import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;

/**

public class Easy {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static class Replaceable{
        String term;
        
        public Replaceable(String t){
            term = t;
        }
        
        public String generate(String... args){
            String s = term.substring(0, term.length());
            for(int i = 0; i < args.length; i++){
                s = s.replace("{" + i + "}", args[i]);
            }
            return s;
        }
        
    }
    public static void run(Replaceable s, String... args){
        Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(new StringSelection(s.generate(args)), null);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Replaceable s = new Replaceable("function Save{0} takes {1} d returns nothing\n    call Save{0}Handle(ht, t, 0, a)\nendfunction");
        run(s, "Destructable", "destructable");
        // TODO code application logic here
    }
}

No putting it into a new map, running it, getting the bat....

function SaveDestructable takes destructable d returns nothing
call SaveDestructableHandle(ht, t, 0, a)
endfunction
 
Anyways, updating the code just to make the RunMacro write it then downloads the generated macro only one per macro. My algo was that bad first.

@Arhowk
Please just don't show me those codes. All I know was to code JASS, vJASS and Zinc(include VBS and Batch if you want)

edit
Updated. Please view changelogs for details.
