[JASS] Need help

[Flame_Phoenix]

Hi people, i am here because i need the help of a JASS expert in my map. I understand GUI and MUI but i have trouble understanding and using JASS. My map is becoming to much big because when i make a spell, to make it Multi playable i need to create that same spelll for all other players. it's like having the same spell 12 times which takes 12 times more space ... an anyone help me with JASS in my map ?
What i really need is to convert all my GUI spells into a JASS multiplayer form. I know how to convert them in JASS, but i don't know how to make them Multi playable...

Use locals and handle vars (or simlar effective systems), thats how everyone makes their spells MUI with jass.

I recommend looking at some of our great jass tutorials before trying, they can really help and remember, locals are your friend so try to use them over globals. Without seeing your spells we can not give you more detail, though other members might explain to you other usefull hints that they use to make their spells MUI.

Thx for replying. You see i do have knowledge about vars and locals. problem is about how to use them. The problem with my spells is that they use various functions and as you know, locals only work inside 1 function. And yes, i am reading all your JASS tutorials. I can put here one of my most basic spells of my map. One that i have problems fixing because it only applies to one player. I tried to fix it by using the stack system described ion one of your tutorials made by wyrm in the GUI section, but i was unable to understand the process and i don't even know if it is applicable to all methods. I will try to post it here so than perhaps you can help me. BTW if you do help me, i will put your names in the credits section ... i just think it is better this way.
I also don't like posting my spells here because i fear people can steal them =S. But i will do it asap.
