what is a rect?

[Koopa124]

I was reading a gate tutorial, and it said make 6 "rects".

Could you link to the tutorial, that might make it easier to understand what is meant.

Since its about gates (you mean teleport gates or just gates?)

I would believe it is supposed to mean regions. But really as I dont know the connection I can't say for sure.

Rect is not a region, but GUI calls rects regions because it is retarded.
Basically, what you thought was a region, is actually rect.

Okay Thanks for the deeper explanetion... As I aint JASS'er I amm happy that I knew the right answear.

You place them in map... There is a menu for them in the toolbar... click R for an easy switch to them.

I already said.... you use the region menu in the editor... really. PLace htem in map and call them those names the tutorial talks about.

You could also create them with triggers, but if my speed reading of the tutorial is correct that isnt needed.

 

[Koopa124]

So just make random regions in the map?

 

[RED BARON]

Yea I pressume thats what he means, and then you move the regions with the trigger... so it seems to me.

 

[HappyTauren]

Yeah, you just use your brain... in gui rect == region, so use REGIONS. In jass region = extension over rect which lets you make planes with more than 4 edges.

Can some 1 tell me what is the latest version of the World Editor becouse i don't have ''RECT'' in mine World Editor...

So then what's a region if a region is a rect???

 

[Rui]

A region is, let's say... a place. You can add a specific point to a region, or you can add the area occupied by a rect.
Another downside of GUI: you can't store the actual regions. I think it leaks 2 times on the A Unit enters <rect> event. One of those leaks is necessary (not making it a leak exactly, I know), the other is not. You have to keep the region to allow the event to work.

In WEU you can see that there are both rects and regions.

= you dont have to get the latest version of the world editor... you just need to understand JASS. As Rui so clearly said

btw: Rui long time no see..


So again just make regions random places, like you normally make regions to get the gates to work.
