Public/Private

Joker	This is just a question on publics. I just put private so people knew what I'm going to talk about. How come I get an syntax error saying "the variables is undeclared" when i put a public prefix? It works fine w/o it. I thought public prefix allowed it to be declared out of the function? JASS: public constant string CL_P = "CLPB"

moyack	is because you need to call the public data in this way: <Name of the library/scope that contains the variable>_<your public vatriable name> So, in your example, if the scope or library which contains the variable is called "blabla" the variable must be called blabla_CL_P

Let's try an example:

JASS:

scope foo
    globals
        public string bar = "a"
    endglobals

    public function Display takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg(bar)
    endfunction
    public function DisplayBJ takes nothing returns nothing
        call Display()
    endfunction
endscope

scope foocopy
    globals
        public string bar = "b"
    endglobals

    public function Display takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg(bar)
    endfunction
    public function DisplayBJ takes nothing returns nothing
        call Display()
    endfunction
endscope

function Test takes nothing returns nothing
    call foo_DisplayBJ()
    call foocopy_Display()
    call BJDebugMsg(foo_bar)
endfunction

Calling the function test displays the following:

a
b
a

Av3n	Common sense maybe? Like others stated above, you must use these keywords in a scope or library -Av3n

Try moving the global declaration before the function that uses it.

Can't say this is common sense to someone with absolutely no programming background or any skill with vJass. Moyack's comment along with Aniarf's example was enough. I don't see a point of your post. >.>

@Vex
It was declared in a library. I think that solves that.
