[vJASS] Run at map initialization

[Mr_Bean]

I have created a script that is meant to set up various things in the map. How can I run it at map initialization? I have tried ticking "Run on map initialization", but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Just use a vJass intializer, scope,library,struct or module.
Read the jasshelper documentation.

I know about initializers. I used this: library MapSetup initializer InitTrigger. However, it didn't seem to run correctly. The InitTrigger function:

private function InitTrigger takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerAddAction(function Actions)
    set t = null
endfunction

I left out RegisterEvent... because if you convert the GUI "Map initialization" event to JASS, there is also no RegisterEvent.

You are creating a trigger without any event, if the function Actions is meant to be started on map init, just cut/paste the code in the initializer, or eventually call the function Actions, depends what you want to do with it later.

 

[Mr_Bean]

Cut/paste the code to where?

 

[Troll-Brain]

private function InitTrigger takes nothing returns nothing
    // your code here
    // if the code in Actions is meant to be executed only on map init, you don't need a trigger, forget you GUI habits
endfunction

Also your initalizer should be renamed for something like "init", something that will makes more sense.

Thank you so much! I guess my GUI habits were taking control!
