Is it possible to add functions to my WE, without knowing too much about programming?
I know i could use WEU, but id like to just add the functions i need, mostly for my own custom functions, without having to use Jass all the time...

Simply edit UI\TriggerData.txt and UI\TriggerStrings.txt
This should be quite possible without any programming knowledge, just look how it is done for the blizzard.j functions and you will see what you have to do.

Those ini files are enough of a tutorial.

You might better learn JASS or give more time to it than sticking to GUI.

Hmmm... I can do a little in jass, i'm currently doing(trying) to make a little RPG kit thingy, and i just wanted to add some basic GUI usage, so i didn't have to use JASS all the time, when i'm testing it... I've uploaded the current version of it, i know it's not perfect Jass, but it's better than what most people can do with the WE...
Btw, if you look at it Vex, i would like to know, is there a way to solve my problem, so i don't have to use a Global Game Cache Variable?

Isn't using JASS all the time easier for calling functions than GUI?

And you must always use a global gamecache variable unless you don't like it to leak

Hmmm, i guess your right, i was just playing a little around, and i wanted to try to make GUI functions for the system, but i guess that's too much for me to handle at the moment... :)
And thanks for the help on the Cache Thingy, i was trying to eliminate all use of variables, and i wondered if there was a way to get rid of the Cache one too, but i guess that one is needed.
