[Jass]Need help to make a new function

08-03-2003, 03:23 PM

Hello, i have made a new function : len, its count how many caracter have in a string. I do a loop and a if with a substring.
This is the GUI :

Code:

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1000, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Substring(string_to_len, (Integer A), ((Integer A) + 1))) Equal to <Empty String>
            Then - Actions
                Skip remaining actions
            Else - Actions
                Set len = (len + 1)

And in Jass :

Code:

function Trig_Len_Script_Copy_2_Func001Func001C takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( SubStringBJ(udg_string_to_len, GetForLoopIndexA(), ( GetForLoopIndexA() + 1 )) == "" ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Len_Script_Copy_2_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    set bj_forLoopAIndex = 1
    set bj_forLoopAIndexEnd = 1000
    loop
        exitwhen bj_forLoopAIndex > bj_forLoopAIndexEnd
        if ( Trig_Len_Script_Copy_2_Func001Func001C() ) then
            return
        else
            set udg_len = ( udg_len + 1 )
        endif
        set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex + 1
    endloop
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Len_Script_Copy_2 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Len_Script_Copy_2 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Len_Script_Copy_2, function Trig_Len_Script_Copy_2_Actions )
endfunction

I tried many times but there is always lots of error when i test the map !

My function use :

Code:

           LenBJ=0,1,string,string
           _LenBJ_Defaults=_,_
           _LenBJ_Category=TC_NOTHING

In the TriggerData.txt
And

Code:

LenBJ="Len"
           LenBJ="Len(",~String,")"
           LenBJHint=

In the TriggerStrings.txt

But the function won't work :(

If someone can help me !

This is my last test of the function :

Code:

function LenBJ takes string txt returns integer
    set bj_forLoopAIndex = 1
    set bj_forLoopAIndexEnd = 1000
    loop
        exitwhen bj_forLoopAIndex > bj_forLoopAIndexEnd
    if ( not ( SubStringBJ(txt, GetForLoopIndexA(), ( GetForLoopIndexA() + 1 )) == "" ) ) then
            return bj_len
            endloop
        else
            set bj_len = ( bj_len + 1 )
        endif
        set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex + 1
    endloop
endfunction

Sorry for my bad english (i'm french) and ++

Starcraftfreak	Don't edit the TriggerData.txt and TriggerStrings.txt files. Instead, in the trigger editor click at the map name on the left and copy your custom function into the big text box below. If you have TFT, in the comment box, there should be some info about that.

ok, if ur messing with trigstrings.txt and trigdata.txt, i'm assuming that means this function is located in blizz.j right? if not, then first of all, u'll need to declare that function in blizzard.j. if u've already done that then i don't know. there's something wierd with creating new gui. i've never actually successfully done it. i can call my functions from blizz.j in a map, but i've never done a gui ver. for it.

vjeux	k, i will wait a patch. I think the blizz.j is "protected" because i can't modify a function ...

gurubvin	no. u can modify it. open blizzard.j with notepad. in there, create your "len" function. then from there u can call len via jass script in ur maps. try it, and ask me if u have ne probs. i've gotten a few new functions into blizz.j
