set gg_trg_Save_the_Game = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( gg_trg_Save_the_Game, 1.00 )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Save_the_Game, function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions )

function Trig_Save_the_Game_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call SaveGame("HuntersArnea")
endfunction

function InitTrig_Save_the_Game takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Save_the_Game = CreateTrigger( )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( gg_trg_Save_the_Game, 1.00 )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Save_the_Game, function Trig_Save_the_Game_Actions )
endfunction

thanx .. that really helped

 

[PurgeandFire]

function Trig_Save_the_Game_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call SaveGame("HuntersArnea")
endfunction

function InitTrig_Save_the_Game takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Save_the_Game = CreateTrigger( )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( gg_trg_Save_the_Game, 1.00 )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Save_the_Game, function Trig_Save_the_Game_Actions )
endfunction

Lol... Wtf is "Arnea"?? *Arena

Well, anyways... Natives are hardcoded warcraft III functions. Any function, must be called with the prefix "call" before it unless you are setting/creating a variable or returning something.

Any "function" must be called within a "function block" which allows you to call a function eg:

function FUNCNAME takes nothing returns nothing

endfunction

Funcname can be anything other than unrecognized characters or a name with spaces in it. Look at wyrmlord's tutorial for a explanation of the "takes" and "returns" field.

So say you want to call "SaveGame". It takes a string. So the string must be contained within the parentheses as so:

call SaveGame("text")

Think of the Parentheses as the block that contains the fields, and the "SaveGame" as the thing that holds them up.

In this case, the "text" will be the filename. So if you want the filename to be "The Fart Pit", then put this:

function SaveGameFunc takes nothing returns nothing
    call SaveGame("The Fart Pit")
endfunction

And it will work.

But in your case, just use the functions that Dr. Super Good gave you in the post above.

I hope this helped you gain at least a small knowledge/understanding of function calling!

the problem with jass is 1 missing word = half of the map corrupted

the problem with jass is 1 missing word = half of the map corrupted

Actually, it's 1 missing word, you get errors and have to fix it before you save a playable version. Half the map doesn't get corrupted.
