This may sound a bit noobish but. i was browsin thru the tools forum and noticed some program for checking your JASS syntax for errors, i dont really understand.. what exactly is JASS? is it basically the trigger script that we write to get our maps running?. or some special function that we can use in WE. |

Yea you are right, JASS is the scripting language Warcraft III uses, when you make a trigger in the trigger editor it creates the JASS script for you. You can also create your own custom script or look at your existing triggers if you convert them to custom text (Edit > Convert to custom text). When making your own custom scripts you can do a lot of stuff you can't do with the inbuilt trigger editor. If you want to learn JASS i encourage you to go to the AI/JASS Vault. |

Ahh i see, thanks for the info kerry, since its the JASS script thats created when we write triggers, would it be possible to use the JASS checker provided by wc3campaigns to locate the possible cause of a crash bug somewhere amongst my triggers? or would i first have to convert my whole script into a custom script? btw *thx in advance to anyone who can answer this o.O |

You would have to convert to custom text, the syntax checker was made before TFT was. The syntax checker just has all the jass language into it, and if something doesn't make sence it yells at you. TFT editor has a built in syntax checker, not the best, but it has the advanced functions that the regular syntax checker doesn't have. |
