What is JASS equivalent of (Name of the current trigger) from GUI?

[WC3Wonderer]

Hi.

1. I would like to pass the name of the trigger as an argument to custom function without creating variable like myVar = (Name of the current trigger) and myFunc(myVar). It should be myFunc((Name of the current trigger)).
2. Is it possible to get some kind of backtrace/callStack inside myFanc? Perhaps it is possible to get the name of the trigger inside of myFanc without passing it's name to function via argument.

I believe your Triggers all have the prefix "gg_trg_"

• Custom script: myFunc(gg_trg_NameGoesHere)

No idea if this works or not.

I don't think Uncle understood you, lol.

No, the functionality you want doesn't exist in WC3: a trigger running has no way to identify the functions it runs or automatically pass itself as an argument, and there is no function to return a trigger's name given its handle. A trigger can only identify itself by its handle id (an integer). They can be run manually via TriggerEvaluate, TriggerExecute, .evaluate(), and .execute(), but the triggeraction/triggercondition being run is not an object you can access in any way.

The variables Uncle suggested can be compared to GetTriggeringTrigger() to see if there is a match, but there's no way for you to print the name. You can print the handle id integer of the trigger and use that to compare/keep track of but that won't always be the same number in every test.

Ah, I thought he wanted to Run the trigger in Jass and didn't know what to prefix it's name with.

I've never seen the (Name of trigger) function until now, and when converted to code it just shows up as a string

I confirm after converting to code it's just a string variable stringVar = "Trigger Name"

Fun fact, this is possible to do with Lua, specially if you use this: [Lua] - Debug Utils (Ingame Console etc.)
