Structs

TaintedReality	Just learning to make maps fully in JASS, and I was wondering are there any such things as structs in JASS? I know in C there are and I'm sure in many other languages as well. If they were in JASS..it could make many of the things I want to do a lot easier.

RaptorTeak	Well... Yeah there are. For exemple, the locations. You can define a variable of type "location", and this variable will contain x and y. But I don't know how to define a new struct in JASS, never done it ^^. Maybe is it like c. Anyway, just have a look at a website with JASS tutorials, you'll maybe get your answer :).

Jacek	There are no structs/objects/record. Its scripting language. location has x and y but it isn't location->x but GetLocationX(location) or whatever.

RaptorTeak	Maybe is the method different, but if you can get x or y from ONE variable, my definition of this variable is a struct. But anyway, I'm sorry if I said wrong things :(.

Jacek	yes but you can't declare your structs.

TaintedReality	Didn't really expect to be able to but thought I'd make sure. Oh well, thanks for the answer.

hmnn

I would say that you can't have structs or objects in JASS.

But you can mimic their behaviour

JASS:

// struct Astruct
// {
//  int b;
//  int a;
//  unit x;
// }


//Create:

local string S=NewTable()

    call SetTableInt(S,"b",200)
    call SetTableInt(S,"a",34)
    call SetTableObject(S,"x",GetTriggerUnit())
    

//Use

function DoSomethingWithStruct takes string Astruct returns nothing

    if (GetTableInt(Astruct,"b")!=GetTableInt(Astruct,"a")) then
        call KillUnit(GetTableUnit(Astruct,"x"))
    endif

endfunction

TaintedReality	Ah cool, that is what I need.
