[JASS] timers

[~DietX~]

is there any way to use timers without using global variables?

 

[Mini-Me]

Yes, use local variables.

 

[~DietX~]

the problem is that i cant send locals to a timer when i use starttimer(blah).
so i have to use globals(thats how i see it)
now my question is if i can somehow send local variables to a timer from the function i'm using to call it?

You need to use structs or local handle vars to do what you want.

 

[~DietX~]

struct is a group of variables under a specific name like in real program languages or is it something else?
is there any tutorial to both structs and handle vars?

Get JASSHelper, and then attach a struct to the timer (say, using my TimerAttach function).

Strongly recommend to get NewGen in which JASSHelper is included.
