[JASS] Need help on importing System

[lazybone]

Hello my name is lazybone and I really need help. I want to put this system into my map but I don't know anything about jass. This system can help my map a lot! Please help! Well, there are instructions but I don't really get what he is saying. Please help. I'm wondering is it possible to make it gui?
This is the system. http://www.clancbs.com/dlfile/1097/Grouping_System.w3x

Go to the Trigger Editor, create a New Trigger (that white sheet of paper button) and then go to Edit and scroll to "Convert to Custom Text". Now delete everything from the converted text and go to this jass system, select all the code and right click it, pressing "Copy". Go back to your deleted converted text and right click -> Paste. That's it.

In the map there is a trigger called "Creation GUI" and "Preset Creation GUI" that show you how to use it. These parts are written in GUI (with a few lines of Custom Script) so what exactly are you having troubles with?

What are you trying to use this system for, anyway?

function Color takes integer alpha, integer red, integer green, integer blue returns string
    // Colors are in hexadecimal (between 0 for dark and 255 for light
    // alpha of 0 means fully transparent
    return "|c" + I10TO16(alpha) + I10TO16(red) + I10TO16(green) + I10TO16(blue)
endfunction

This is in the script. Its funny though because "alpha" is not used on strings for some reason. You can also add this code if you want to be able to color a string, specifically, without the open-ended color-code.

function ColorString takes integer R, integer G, integer B, string msg returns string
    // Alpha of 0 does not mean fully transparent. Silly wabbit.
    return "|CFF"+I10TO16(R)+I10TO16(G)+I10TO16(B)+msg+"|r"
endfunction

Thanks Pharaoh and Berbanog for replying! I didn't try your way yet Pharaoh but I'll do it later. =] uhm Berbanog I'm using this trigger for my map and it needs like a grouping thingy like. My map's theme is the Triad/Mafia so I think the grouping trig will fit it a lot. Thanks! I don't know a lot of Jass so I don't know what does uhm Alpha or anything means :T

Well alpha is the transparency of the text. In order to use these functions in GUI you need to use Custom Script, where you type "call FuncName( something, somethingElse, andSomethingElse )" where the "somethings" are variables of the type defined by the function.

In this case you have 4 integer variables, so you could type "call Color( 0, 0, 0, 0 )" and it would work, though it would return a black color tag.

;T errr this looks really complicated lol >> so I do what Pharaoh told me to do and I can get this jass to work in my map??
