A Parsing Bug - Syntax errors going through as success

10-20-2007, 06:28 PM

I was trying to find a bug in my game and I noticed that I had a problem with my syntax and it was letting it go through and that's why my function wasn't working. here's the code

JASS:

function CreateAttEffect takes loc3d ThisLoc3d, integer EffectType returns nothing
    local unit EffectUnit CreateNonUnitAtLoc(Player(12), 'hpea', ThisLoc3d.GetLoc(), 0.0)
    //call TriggerExecute(DestroyAttEffectTrigger)
    call PolledWait(.4)
    call RemoveUnitSafe(EffectUnit)
endfunction

Notice that after local unit EffectUnit there is no = between that and the CreateNonUnit function, yet it still went through as a success.(if you're curious it just makes a unit that has in it's extra struct functions put in as a non InGame unit so it doesn't get affected by attacks or get auto-targeted by one of my triggers.)

Vexorian	Well, if you ran it with grimoire's war3err it would tell you that EffectUnit is not initialized, gonna add this to the queue of things to fix although I think I fixed an issue like this before? What version of jasshelper are you using?

zergleb	I even double checked to make sure, i'm running 9.9.3 and yes I have been getting a lot of uninitialized variables errors. Only one of them I didn't really get why.
