[JASS] Module, use Globals?

[Ciebron]

can a Module use Globals when implement in an other struct from the structs scope?

module Test

real a
real b
real c

      method Math takes nothing returns returns real
          set .a = A
          set .b = B
          set .c = .a * .b
     endmethod

endmodule

scope A

globals
    private constant real A = 2
    private constant real B = 3
endglobals

private struct Data

static method ASD takes nothing returns nothing
    local thistype D = thistype.allocate()

    call thistype.Math()
endmethod

implement Test

endstruct

I wanna use this way to create casting bar for some spells, so with globals i can get the casting time and other stuff (customizeable for each spell we can say)

EDIT:

on other thoughts i could use a textmacro, but still is it possible?

What's a module? I've never seen it before. To me it just looks like you're putting extra into a struct, so why not just put it into the struct as it is? Even so, if it's just a part of a struct, why shouldn't they be able to use globals? Structs can use globals.

AFAIK the code inside module is just copy/pasted into the struct pretty much like how textmacro's work, so the actual code is only evaluated when the struct is compiled. So technically, you can write utter gibberish inside modules, and it'll compile as long as you never implement it in a struct.

Seems to be just what I originally thought. I think they probably can use globals. Have you tried it?

 

[Ciebron]

yeah but i got errors from private globals

 

[Element of Water]

Maybe they're not considered part of the scope/library. They might be compiled after libraries and scopes. Try using a public global and using the prefix when you use them in modules.

Yeah, i tryed to add SCOPE_PRIVATE but it for the modules library (or iternal error if there was any)

But i guess the best way to do this is to use textmacros

 

[Element of Water]

Hmm. Why do you need it anyway? You have lots of structs that need similar code? Then why not just extend them from 1 parent struct?

 

[Ciebron]

Well i want a cast bar for some spells so instead of make a invidual castbar for each spell. I want so to "import" it easy, but i think i got it covered with textmacros

Ok then, problem solved (or worked around)?
