Regions in JASS - Am I doing it right?

09-27-2008, 06:07 AM

I want to create these on map initialization. Is this the correct way to do it in JASS? The intent of this is to create one region for each player, all having the same dimensions for later use. As in later, I mean about 45+ minutes into the game.

JASS:

scope RegionInitializer
globals
    public rect array FOUNT_RECT_PLAYER
    public region array FOUNT_REGION_PLAYER
    private constant real RECT_MAX_X = -1248
    private constant real RECT_MIN_X = -896
    private constant real RECT_MAX_Y = 2048
    private constant real RECT_MIN_Y = 1696
endglobals
    
private function Act takes nothing returns nothing
local integer i = 0
    loop
        set FOUNT_REGION_PLAYER[i] = CreateRegion()
        set i = i+1
        exitwhen i == 11
    endloop
    set i = 0
    loop
        call SetRect(FOUNT_RECT_PLAYER[i], RECT_MIN_X, RECT_MIN_Y, RECT_MAX_X, RECT_MAX_Y)
        call RegionAddRect(FOUNT_REGION_PLAYER[i], FOUNT_RECT_PLAYER[i])
        set i = i+1
        exitwhen i == 11
    endloop
endfunction

private function InitTrig takes nothing returns nothing
local trigger trg = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerAddAction(trg, function Act)
call DestroyTrigger(trg)
endfunction
endscope

edit: forgot the endscope, xD

Vestras	Yes, you are. But you probably don't wanna destroy your trigger at map init.

Pyrogasm	Yeah... what? Destroying trg right after you add actions doesn't seem to really do anything. That and you didn't register an event in the first place.

OK, thanks for the help guys; I'll be testing it soon.

Yea, when I converted a gui map initialization event into JASS, there was no event.

Pyrogasm	Oh, okay. It's because one of the trigger 'options' checkboxes is now "Run at Map initialization". However, since you didn't say that you did that it made no sense to me. Destroying the trigger immediately after adding actions still does nothing, though, no matter when the trigger is 'run'.
