native vs functions?

BaHaMuT-NeO-	is there a difference between the native and BJ functions? They seem to have the same name with the exception of the BJ at the end and do the same things. Anyone?

-={tWiStÃ„r}=-	usually BJ functions are used in GUI. also, if im not mistaken they are slightly slower. and some differences are like substring and substringBJ i still get a lil confused between them. Substring(grunt, 0,2) will give you "gr" i think.. but SubstringBJ(grunt, 1,2) will give you "gr"

Usually the BJ function is calling the non-BJ one with a slightly modified argument than what you used to call the BJ function.. you can go here [http://jass.sourceforge.net/doc/api/...j-source.shtml] and here [http://jass.sourceforge.net/doc/api/...j-source.shtml] to directly compare the arguments, etc. of the respective functions.

e.g.: [http://jass.sourceforge.net/doc/api/...rce.shtml#1618]

JASS:

//===========================================================================
// The parameters for the API Substring function are unintuitive, so this
// merely performs a translation for the starting index.
//
function SubStringBJ takes string source, integer start, integer end returns string
    return SubString(source, start-1, end)
endfunction

Then just take note of which numbers go where when you convert an understandable GUI trigger into a less-understandable function call o.0

(why the **** doesn't the jass tag work? >.>)

LegolasArcher	From my understanding, some of the BJ functions leak locations, aswell. I'm not 100% sure about this, however.

Cubasis	Nope, I don't know of a single BJ function that directly leaks a location. The only leak that happens is when you don't destroy your copy of the point that the function returns. ~Cubasis

It's the code tag.
