imbedding native functions

10-25-2004, 10:55 AM

Hi, i am still a JASS noob trying to feel my way through this language, my question is this i want to imbed a native function inside of another function:

call ForGroupBJ(G, call UnitDamageTargetBJ(udg_Fistandantilus, GetEnumUnit(), 3, ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_UNIVERSAL))

when i put in that line it says expected an expression statement.

G = my unit group
Fistandantilus = my hero

does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

AIAndy	You can't directly put code there, it has to be a function. So put that code in a separate function and state function your_new_func_name in the ForGroup

Guest	...yes, it sucks. A workaround if you don't know what the argument will be in advance is store the argument in a game cache or sth, and have that function always look for the parameters before doing anything else. That means modifying all functions that you want to use that way, tho... :-\

hi again, itried taking your advise and ran into a snag:

Code:

function Trig_Blood_Gout_Action_Func1 takes integer LifeGain returns nothing
    call UnitDamageTargetBJ( udg_Fistandantilus, GetEnumUnit(), LifeGain, ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_UNIVERSAL)
endfunction

function Trig_Blood_Gout_Action_Actions takes integer SpellRange, integer LifeGain returns nothing
   local filterfunc F = Filter(function FilterDeadAndAllies)
   local group G = GetUnitsInRangeOfLocMatching(SpellRange, GetUnitLoc(udg_Fistandantilus),F)
   call DestroyFilter(F)
   call ForGroupBJ(G, function Trig_Blood_Gout_Action_Func1(LifeGain))
   call ForGroupBJ(G, function AttachEffects)
   call SetUnitLifeBJ( udg_Fistandantilus, ( GetUnitStateSwap(UNIT_STATE_LIFE, udg_Fistandantilus) + ( LifeGain * I2R(CountUnitsInGroup(G)) ) ) )
   call PolledWait( 1.00 )
   //Cleanup local group
   call DestroyGroup(G)
   set G = null
endfunction




//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Blood_Gout_Action takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Blood_Gout_Action = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Blood_Gout_Action, function Trig_Blood_Gout_Action_Actions )
endfunction

i am still not sure what i am doing wrong it tells me it expected ' on this line:

call ForGroupBJ(G, function Trig_Blood_Gout_Action_Func1(LifeGain))

any help?

AIAndy	Parameters do not work for these functions. You have to use globals to pass that info.
