Multi board

[Ericqwe]

They can help create a Multi boardin jass and modify the position of the same

 

[Pyrogasm]

...yes?

 

[Ericqwe]

Tell me something about it

The multiboard is like the leaderboard, but better!

I need in jass not GUI, I know the basic in GUI but I want to know the basic in jass

Convert your GUI multiboard trigger to Custom Text (Jass) and you'll be able to see all of the Jass code.

[JASS] - Need help understanding JASS triggers (A GUI trigger conversion)

So you can convert GUI triggers to JASS, but I want to say I read somewhere the way they are written are inefficient and leak? I may be misremembering but I guess my main question is this the standard way to go about triggering in JASS Trigger Test Events Unit - A unit Dies...

Note that some of the functions may be inefficient since there's often two ways of doing something, the GUI way, and the Jass way. The GUI way is almost always easier to use but also almost always less efficient. That being said, you should first focus on getting the code working.

What I want to know is how to modify the position of the table and interact with it

UI: Showing 3 Multiboards

The Frame natives are quite powerful and allow us to show more than 1 working multiboard at the same time. There are some stuff one needs to know to do that. First one has to know that after a multiboard is shown the first time, its framehandle can be accessed with...

They are in lua and I need them in jass

 

[Pyrogasm]

It's really worth your time to understand how to (on principle) convert one language into another, especially when those two share function names (for the most part) as Lua and JASS do. Look at the lua, try to understand what it's doing, imagine how it would be in jass, try it, get confused, learn, get confused again, ask here for help with a specific question, learn some more, improve.

What Pyrogasm said. That code is extremely close to being Jass code, all you have to do is add the word "call" in front of each function or "set" if you're messing with a variable, and if that's confusing then you're entering territory that you NEED to understand first before you can progress in either language.

Once you understand the rules of Jass then Lua will come naturally. And if you struggle at first don't worry because there is plenty of information on this site to help you out. Trust me on that, I was the biggest GUI noob until I started asking questions on here, and now I can write the best damn spaghetti code you've ever seen.

The problem is that I do not know what are the programming lines in jass to modify the position, they could tell me what they are

Looking at Tasyen's code in the Showing 3 Multiboards thread, you can see the functions for modifying it (I converted it to Jass):

globals
framehandle multi1
framehandle multi2
framehandle multi3
framehandle multi1Container
framehandle multi2Container
framehandle multi3Container
endglobals

function CreateMultiboards takes nothing returns nothing
   call CreateMultiboardBJ( 4, 2, "Board1" )
   set multi1 = BlzGetFrameByName("Multiboard",0)
   set multi1Container = BlzGetFrameByName("MultiboardListContainer",0)
 
   call CreateMultiboardBJ( 3, 3, "Board2" )
   set multi2 = BlzGetFrameByName("Multiboard",0)
   set multi2Container = BlzGetFrameByName("MultiboardListContainer",0)
 
   call CreateMultiboardBJ( 3, 1, "Board3" )
   set multi3 = BlzGetFrameByName("Multiboard",0)
   set multi3Container = BlzGetFrameByName("MultiboardListContainer",0)
 
   call BlzFrameClearAllPoints(multi1)
   call BlzFrameSetPoint(multi1, FRAMEPOINT_TOPRIGHT, multi2, FRAMEPOINT_BOTTOMRIGHT,0,0)
   call BlzFrameClearAllPoints(multi2)
   call BlzFrameSetPoint(multi2, FRAMEPOINT_TOPRIGHT, multi3, FRAMEPOINT_BOTTOMRIGHT,0,0)
   call BlzFrameClearAllPoints(multi3)
   call BlzFrameSetAbsPoint(multi3, FRAMEPOINT_TOPRIGHT, 0.5,0.55)
 
   call BlzFrameSetVisible(multi1, true)
   call BlzFrameSetVisible(multi2, true)
   call BlzFrameSetVisible(multi3, true)
endfunction

I've never actually done this which is why I can't give you an exact answer but this appears to be the line you're looking for:

call BlzFrameSetPoint(multi1, FRAMEPOINT_TOPRIGHT, multi2, FRAMEPOINT_BOTTOMRIGHT,0,0)

Thanks a lot

I tried it and it doesn't work for me

I imagine you got an error telling you what was wrong. I was using "call" instead of "set" when I was Setting the variables. I updated the code.
