Adding the extra "\" to make jass work for SFX

08-01-2007, 03:51 AM

Whenever I put this into my map, it causes the editor to crash. Its supposed to detect when thers a "\" and then add another. I think its because the "\" causes the rest of the code to comment. Does anyone know how to represent it without causing it to comment?

JASS:

function JassiflyString takes string taken returns string
    local integer counter = 1
    local string sub = ""
    local string final = ""
    
    loop
    exitwhen
        sub = SubString( taken,counter,counter )
        if (sub == "\" ) then
            set final = SubString( taken,1,counter) + "\"
            set final = SubString( sub,counter+2, StringLength)
        endif
    endloop
    return final
    
endfunction

PipeDream	"\\" Edit: BTW, SFX paths use single \. It's just the JASS lexer which uses \ for control codes and \\ to represent \.

Immoralis	hmm map still crashes

Vexorian	since you are using the normal editor it could be anything that makes it crash but: JASS: call effectgiberish("abilities\\spells\\thunderclap.mdl") should be enough not to crash the editor. If it is still crashes post the code you are trying to type

MaD[Lion]	whatever editor also cause my WE to crash, but its random crash, no reason. It just crash when it wants. This is a bit off topic btw

JASS:

function JassiflyString takes string taken returns string
    local integer counter = 1
    local string sub = ""
    local string final = ""
    
    loop
    exitwhen
        sub = SubString( taken,counter,counter )
        if (sub == "\\" ) then
            set final = SubString( taken,1,counter) + "\\"
            set final = SubString( sub,counter+2, StringLength)
        endif
    endloop
    return final
    
endfunction

this should work...
Edit: you didnt set an exitwhen condition there. Which will cause an infinite loop and crash

Ammorth	Your jass needs to compile with "\\" for a single "\" regardless if it is for a SFX or just a string.

DioD	you cant pass path string with single "/" to map, you cant Jassifly string becouse it already passed as "Jassiflyed"
