[JASS] Merge regions

[Gjallarhorn]

Quite simply, how do I merge regions using JASS?
Describing it better: Taking Reg1, Reg2 and Reg3 and making them work as a single region

Well since Regions and Rects are not the same and WE describes Rects as Regions in GUI. What you need to do is add you rect to a region with a native calle

RegionAddRect takes region A, rect B returns nothing

So, if you have a global region that you add your rects to it would work

Sorry, I just started using JASS... can you describe it a little bit more?

First of all, I don't know what a Rect is. If I draw a region with the region pallete, how do I know it's a rect or region?

A rect and a region are one and the same. Rect is just what JASS calls them.

To be more precise:

A "rect" in jass is a GUI region (as well as the regions you make through the region palette).
A "region" in jass is an "area" that can contain specific rects and points.

However, when you use the "Unit enters region" event, you are in fact using jass regions, and not gui regions (i.e. rects). If you use that GUI action on a gui region, the rect is converted into a region (through creating a new region and adding the rect to the region)

Excactly what i was trying to say

 

[Gjallarhorn]

That's cool! I understand it now. I'll probably have to learn how to add rects to regions, though. Maybe setting a region variable using JASS, and adding the rects to that variable? If I do it like this, all my "unit enters (region)" events will need to be done in JASS too, right? Or can I do it in GUI and set the (region) to the variable I created using JASS?

No all of your events will have to be done in JASS. My advice is, don't use GUI in JASS. Use JASS in GUI by all means, to remove leaks which can't be removed with plain GUI, but don't put loads of custom scripts in a GUI trigger, effectively making it JASS. It just looks ugly. Either stick to JASS or GUI (I'd recommend JASS).

So true..

You recommended him something and gave him a really good tip, it deserves a rep, in my opinion

Ok then, not complaining
