Need help adding custom text script to war3map.j file.

[lancerx]

Anyone know how to put a custom text script into the war3map.j file. I use ultra edit to open the jass file but cant seem to figure out how to copy and paste of where to copy and paste the custom text script into the jass file.So if anyone knows how to export a custom text script into a jass file I would be greatly appreciative for the help.

Paste your functions just before the triggers.

If you are using the standard TFT Editor then you can also click on the map name, and you'll have a
place where you can paste your funcions

OK thanks ill try to find the triggers. then I just paste everything from the custom text script in there ? also what do you mean by having a place to paste your function if im using tft editor?

Go to the Trigger Editor and in the pannel on the left, where all the triggers are listed, click your map's name.

I m sorry for my sloppy english.

In the Trigger Editor. click where it says "yourmapname.w3x"

Then you'll see an empty screen on the right titeled 'custom script code' (or something like that in english)

There you paste your code, and when you save the map it's added to the .j file

wow thats very helpfull, now could you maybe help me know as to why im getting 20 compile erros when I copy and paste from the custom text script to the top. Is there a certain way to copy and paste it?

 

[Maciej64]

I can't help you without seeing it . Probably it tries to access some global variables that were declared in the map you took that code from and doesn't find them...

Ok here is what I done to test this. I made a new map. Made 2 regions and then made a trigger that moved unit from region 1 to region 2 upon entering the region.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function Trig_test_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
call SetUnitPositionLoc( GetTriggerUnit(), GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Region_001) )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_test takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_test = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple( gg_trg_test, gg_rct_Region_000 )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_test, function Trig_test_Actions )
endfunction
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just copy and pasted everything into the custom text panel like you said on this new map. and i get these 3 compile errors.

"set gg_trg_test = CreateTrigger( )" -Expected a variable Name
"call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple( gg_trg_test, gg_rct_Region_000 )" - Expected a Name
"call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_test, function Trig_test_Actions )"-Expected a name.

so those 3 erros no those 3 lines is the error im getting. And thats on a brand new map with nothing on it but the 2 regions i made. I declared no variables. By the way thanks for the help.
