[vJASS] What is the best way...

[mckill2009]

to run a function 'outside' a running timer, sample;

implement CTLExpire
   if dur > 0 then
      //run a function outside this struct depending on conditions
   else
      call .destroy()
   endif
implement CTLEnd

I use TriggerEvaluate, is it safe or there are better?...

call functionName() is the best option because it can be inlined automatically.

The only reason not to use it is if:

• You need to reset the op-count
• You need to begin a new thread so you can use TSA (this is never a good enough reason)

 

[mckill2009]

now I cant do that coz what if that called function is below the calling function ( the running timer), so It'll have an error...

 

[Cokemonkey11]

I assume because you're making a library?

Most people just use TriggerEvaluate, yes.

If u use structs then it doesn't matter if the function is below it. Not sure if this is bad to do. I know it works tho

 

[Nestharus]

Put the function above it then? lol

Calling method that's below will generate a trigger evaluation

 

[deathismyfriend]

Calling method that's below will generate a trigger evaluation

Ooo that's good to know thx

You can disable this auto-evaluate method feature by adding a tag [forcemethodevaluate] in jasshelper.conf, the one which is inside your JassNewGenPack folder, not the one in the subfolder 'jasshelper'.
Then, it will prompt an error on map save.

coke, you are right, Im using a library and calling a function...

death, nes is right it uses also TriggerEvaluate...

nes, cant do that coz im doin a library and calling a function...

troll, good to know that but thats not really gonna help ...


thanks guys

Is this allowed, does it even work ? (just to be sure don't use jasshelper but only jass, map script import or just the official editor)
I don't think you will even be able to save the map but meh ...

Yes jass is that old for me that i can't even remember a such basic rule
I hardly think it's allowed ...

globals
    force F = CreateForce()
endglobals

function Test takes nothing returns nothing
    call ForceAddPlayer(F,GetLocalPlayer())
    call ForForce(F,function A)
endfunction

function A takes nothing returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg("it works !")
endfunction

That won't work as function A is undefined. However, if you declare a code or boolexpr variable at the top, it'll work =).
