Troll-Brain	JASS: // String Utility API native GetLocalizedString takes string source returns string native GetLocalizedHotkey takes string source returns integer Hmm what are the point of these functions ? i mean i've seen an example of how to use these functions (MeleeVictoryDialogBJ) but i guess there is a text file in a .mpq or it's hard coded ?

GetLocalizedString will return the string which is in the war3map.wts file.
If you e.g. use BJDebugMsg("TRIGSTR_X") you're fine, but when you want to check the string for the content you need to use GetLocalizedString.

Example:

function x takes nothing returns boolean
    //return "TRIGSTR_X" == "Whatever" <<won't work when true
    return (GetLocalizedString("TRIGSTR_X")) == "Whatever" //will work when true
endfunction

That's at least what i found out.

Troll-Brain	ok thx, maybe these strings are hard coded : Code: "PLAYER_DEFEATED" "GAMEOVER_LOAD" "GAMEOVER_REDUCE_DIFFICULTY"

Toadcop	anyway it's async. so use this only for local actions.
