What is it in JASS

[Starquizer]

This thread is about functions in GUI and their equivalent in JASS, although, I cant say its equivalent because there are natives and BJs functions.

What is the native equivalents of the following in JASS:

1)

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

2)

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Do nothing)

3)units in region matching condition AND units in region owned by player

If I remeber anything else I'll post it and thanks for any help in advance.

All group picking functions starts with GroupEnum***. There are few of them:

    call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(pick_group, x, y, radius, FilterFunc)
    call GroupEnumUnitsInRect(pick_group, your_rect, FilterFunc)
    call GroupEnumUnitsOfPlayer(pick_group, Player(num), FilterFunc)

1. >>

globals
  group gr = CreateGroup()
endglobals

// . . .
function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
  // some actions with GetEnumUnit()
endfunction

// . . .
call GroupEnumUnitsInRect(gr, bj_mapInitialPlayableArea, null)
call ForGroup(gr, function Actions)

2. >>

globals
  group gr = CreateGroup()
endglobals

// . . .
call GroupEnumUnitsInRect(gr, bj_mapInitialPlayableArea, null)
// . . .

3. >>

globals
  group gr = CreateGroup()
endglobals

// . . .
// picking all units of player 0 (equal to Player 1 Red in GUI)...
// ...and with custom value equal to 0 (this is custom condition)
function FilterFunc takes nothing returns boolean
  return GetOwningPlayer(GetFilterUnit()) == Player(0) and GetUnitUserData(GetFilterUnit()) == 0
endfunction

// . . .
local rect my_rect = Rect(-192, -192, 192, 192)
// . . .
call GroupEnumUnitsInRect(gr, my_rect, Filter(function FilterFunc))
// . . .
call RemoveRect(my_rect)
set my_rect = null

Oh, by the way, use TESH or JassCraft to display code of BJ functions. Unwrapping BJs is the way to natives.

Add a few actions using the GUI, click edit, and then convert to custom text. You'll then be able to see what they are in JASS.

Won't the function be BJ not native ?

This might help you:
JASS Manual: API Browser - API Browser: Types

You can find BJ functions, and be linked to where it is in the actual blizzard.j code.

What is a boolexpr ?

As in
native GroupEnumUnitsOfTypeCounted (group whichGroup, string unitname,boolexpr filter, integer countLimit) returns nothing

 

[Maximilianx]

a boolexpr is a function that returns a boolean, for example:

function someFunction takes nothing returns boolean
    return true
endfunction

And how you use it:

call GroupEnumUnitsOfTypeCounted(yourGroup, "string", Condition(function someFunction), 5)

 

[Ciebron]

BJ functions are usally functions who calls native functions

eg.

function UnitAddAbilityBJ takes integer abilityId, unit whichUnit returns boolean
    return UnitAddAbility(whichUnit, abilityId)
endfunction

which just calls

native UnitAddAbility takes unit whichUnit, integer abilityId returns boolean

Does local variables in JASS spells provide MUI property to that spell ?

Can they be edited from another function ?

 

[PurplePoot]

No, that's why they're local.
