If u dont know what Jass is so you should learn it... its blizzards computer speech developed for their games, especially for wc3 I think... With JAss you can code thing u cant do with the normal trigger aktions and conditions and events... You can "get" more events and other things that are impossible with normal WE... just get ur aktion and turn it into custom text than u know what Jass is like :D |

To make that perfectly clear... JASS is a programming language of sorts used in Warcraft III. (Well, OK, it's technically a scripting language, hence why the scripter scripts JASS script instead of the coder coding JASS code, but that's a minor quibble.) JASS has two main uses: AI and advanced triggers. You can write your own AI for the computer armies in JASS if you need a very specific behavior in your map. And triggers are really just World Edit letting you write easy JASS. You can right-click on any trigger to "Convert to Custom Text" and it will turn the trigger into the actual JASS code that represents that trigger. Writing your own JASS can allow you to do more advanced things than just using the graphical interface of triggers. So, if you don't need to make your triggers do fancy stuff you can't do with normal triggers but could do with a programming language or deal with different enemy AI than the default, then you don't need to pay any more attention to JASS. If you do care about JASS, check out the JASS forum further down the message board. :) |
