Need help with jass I dont know what is wrong

09-09-2006, 11:48 AM

I want this to happen, every .25 seconds it sets udg_a = udg_a + 1 (Counting up)
if its over 50> display text
if its equal to 5 display text
if its equal to 15 display text
FIRST trigger'

JASS:

function Trig_RandomString_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
 local string a = "m"
 local string b = "a"
 local string c = "n"
 local string z = "i"
 local string d = (c+b)
 local string f = (a+z)
 local string g = (c+b)
 set udg_a = ( udg_a + 1)
     call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), I2S(udg_a) )
if udg_a > 50 then
          call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), d )
      call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), f )
      endif
     elseif udg_a==5 then
      call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), g )
      call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), f )
      endif
     elseif udg_a==15 then
     endif
     else udg_a==7
          call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), d )
      call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), f )
      endif
     endif

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_RandomString takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_RandomString = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventPeriodic( gg_trg_RandomString, .25 )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_RandomString, function Trig_RandomString_Actions )
endfunction

Oh btw, I have 99% no idea what im doing with the if statements lolz...
is there a better way to randomly display strings? (e.g scrambling words, man, nma, nam, amn, anm etc...)

OK

I did that

Now I get 2 errors, "No endif" and expected end of line

JASS:

function Trig_RandomString_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
 local string a = "m"
 local string b = "a"
 local string c = "n"
 local string z = "i"
 local string d = (c+b)
 local string f = (a+z)
 local string g = (c+b)
 set udg_a = ( udg_a + 1)
     call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), I2S(udg_a) )
if udg_a > 50 then
          call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), d )
      call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), f )
      
     elseif udg_a==5 then
      call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), g )
      call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), f )
      
     elseif udg_a==15 then
     
     else udg_a==7(Where it highlights the "expected end of line" problem
          call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), d )
      call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), f )
      
     endif(Where it highlights the "Endif" problem)
endfunction

what is wrong with it now?

Captain Griffen	You only need a endif at the end of the if/elseif/else statement. You need an endfunction at the end.

aquilla	else udg_a==7 should be elseif udg_a==7 then

Also, watch out with your indents.
The standard is: add 4 lines after you write: function/if/loop/else/elseif, and remove 4 lines after you write: endfunction/endif/endloop.

Fr0zenLord	Sorry, What is an indent? - also, how many if then else statements can I use ? in the same thing e.g if - then elseif - then else if -then endif if - then elseif- then elseif -then endif etc....? Ohhh! I see what you mean by indents ty Thanks tide XD

09-09-2006, 08:26 PM	#6
Captain Griffen	JASS: not indented indented by 1 indented by 2 indented by 3 indented by 4 - standard

09-09-2006, 08:49 PM	#7
The)TideHunter(	You can have as many If statements as you want, and as many elseif/else's, only. But be carful for things like: JASS: else if elseif then else then Only valid ones are, for ifs: JASS: if then and or else elseif endif

Fr0zenLord

Can I please ask something confusing lol..

How would i write in jass

I wanna kind of make a trivia thing
so I need to know

how to do this, first, turn off jass? lol

how to type -start, and every 60 seconds, it says some words...

and how to set that word into a chat string... then if a player says that word...
turn the trigger off...
then turn it back on after

Basically, Player gets the word right +1 point... but he cant say it again nor can any other players...

lolz I kinda wanna get this down,but I cant find any stuff in tutorials
about that

Also, at map init, how do I get a players name?

and display it like this call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), Players name?? )

would I have to set
his name into a string? then call that string?

If anyone could help that'd be great

The)TideHunter(	I dont understand your first question, but to get a players name and display it to all players, simply use: JASS: call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), GetPlayerName(Player(0)) 0 = Player 1 1 = Player 2 2 = Player 3 etc. So Player(0) = Player 1 Confusing but true.

shadow1500	JASS: call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), GetPlayerName(Player(0)) You are missing an end parenthesies there. Also, JASS: call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(),0,0,GetPlayerName(Player(0))) is a more efficient way to do it.
