[JASS] Timers?

[Coolty44]

Hey guys, I need a good run down on how you properly use timers in JASS to repalce TSA's and things like that. If it involves other things, then please tell, as I'm willing to learn what I need to know for this.
Thanks

It involves the search button, nothing more.

 

[Coolty44]

Mmhh,and how many results acually explain how you properly use them the way I'm asking. Please CHECK the results or explain which one to click next time.

 

[Storyyeller]

Well what do you need to use them for then?

 

[Coolty44]

Replacing TSA's for things like loops and that

 

[Storyyeller]

What is a TSA?

This is a good tutorial.

but skip the handle part since h2i doesn't work anymore

 

[Cokemonkey11]

If you update it to the new natives it works fine.

 

[Feroc1ty]

but skip the handle part since h2i doesn't work anymore

Don't skip that part because H2I exists but is renamed to GetHandleId.

I'm not informed much. Is the patch stable yet?

No, unfortunately not. It's still only a beta on westfall.

No, unfortunately not. It's still only a beta on westfall.

And I'm told the overflow problem they're trying to fix still exists

 

[Yixx]

Fixing the returns bug fixes the buffer overflow attack. So fixing both would be nice, but unnessecary.

And the patch is indeed not stable yet, and only available on 'Westfall' server.

The returnbug still isn't fixed though.

True,, they totally failed there,,

Fixing the returns bug fixes the buffer overflow attack. So fixing both would be nice, but unnessecary.

If you really believe it's unnecessary to fix the bug you obviously don't know the dangers of a buffer overflow.

 

[Eleandor]

There are other ways to fix the buffer overflow attack without having to fix the returnbug. Thus, I really believe it's unnecessary to fix the bug, and you obviously don't know the cause of the buffer overflow.

 

[Yixx]

@ CokeMonkey11: I didnt mean it is unneccesary to fix it, just to fix both, if the return bug is fixed, the buffer overflow is not happening anymore. If the buffer overflow attack is fixed, the return bug still stays, but isnt dangerous anymore.

So: One of them HAS to be fixed, but fixing both is unnessecary.

and for calrification: I indeed do not know the dangers of a buffer overflow =\,,

Well if you're able to execute bytecode, you're able to do anything, basically...
