[Solved] Trigger Reordering

[Zeatherann]

How can I change the order in which a trigger's JASS code is placed into the war3map.j file? I realize I delete and create triggers to eventually get the order I want, but this slow, tedious, and knowing me, I'll accidentally mess something up.

Simply Moving the triggers in the trigger editor doesn't work afaik.

I am not afraid to go digging around the map archive either. (maybe in the war3map.wtg file?)

The order is according to the trigger's position in the tree view on the left in trigger editor. But it is only updated when reloading the map. The editor reads it from the .wtg yes. The .j file is generated from .wtg and .wct everytime you save.

The .j file is generated from .wtg and .wct everytime you save.

i never knew that lol thanks for the info

 

[WaterKnight]

And from various other info like map options, player settings, placed widgets, unit/item pools, sounds..., since this data is fed to jass ingame.

It shouldn't matter at all, why are you trying to reorder it

 

[deathismyfriend]

it matters if u have functions in one that are used by a trigger above it.

 

[Zeatherann]

Thank you for the example use deathismyfriend! So all I need to do is simply reorder the triggers, save, close, reopen, and it works? That's annoying, but kinda expected.

Thank you WaterKnight! +Rep.

Np lol

Well if you used vJass, it would be easier. It offers requirements for example. You can write a library and make another library/scope require it. The required block is placed above when compiling.

library A requires B
endlibrary

library B
endlibrary

B is declared first since A needs it.

I will not use JNGP, sorry.

I will not use JNGP, sorry.

Mac user?

 

[Zeatherann]

No, I use Windows because I play games and write games for Windows, though they could compile on any OS.

No, I use Windows because I play games and write games for Windows, though they could compile on any OS.

I believe the implication on his question was not specifically asking if you weren't on OS but rather the reason why you refuse to use JNGP.

 

[Zeatherann]

Oh, because every time I use it my map gets corrupted, and there should be nothing I can't do that JNGP can, except for vJASS.
