All triggers are essentially JASS code viewed in a different way. You can convert it back, but it's quite difficult.

That said, they probably did that to prevent people from modifying the spells easily. But they still are modifiable.*

Some spells cannot be done via triggers, that is where jass comes into play. As far as the language, i dont really understand it myself, the main thing i know is that when they have // it is not used in the scripting, but used as a note. Lol

 

[Ducati]

so its a note on how to convert it into triggers??

No.

There's an entire Jass Tutorial on the site if you actually looked, I'd post it but wc3search doesn't work for me.

// means a one-line comment greg, just like in C++!

JASS is completely different then the Triggers, they cannot be converted either way.

JASS is a different set of triggers*, with different commands, perameters etc.

well they call entities to do more than pre-set triggers are capable of.

JASS is a programming language made by Blizzard and is used in the World Editor to make triggers in a different way. It is used by people who are experienced in trigger making and not from those who just startet their first steps in map making. For those there is the GUI way. GUI way is the visual making of triggers in the WE. Well JASS is quite similar with C++ and it is using raw codes to refer to abilities, units etc. The only way to learn JASS is to experience with it and to spend a lot of time. Of course JASS has a lot more capabilities cause it is more advanced and you can make some triggers which are impossible to be made by GUI.

Ok so is there a list of commands that JASS uses? because im sorry you cant just learn a programming/scripting lauguage with out at least a list of the syntec.

Is there a place that list the syntex ?
