I see everything :) Or at least the posts on my own forum.
How about googling "jass tutorial"?
I learned from the
JASS Docs, but I had some prior knowledge: For months, I would just convert triggers from GUI to JASS and figure out ways to improve them. Especially the conditions, those were done in a horribly inefficient and ugly way:
The JASS behind a simple GUI trigger
function Trig_h_Conditions
takes nothing returns boolean
if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId
() == 'A001'
) ) then
return false
endif
return true
endfunction
function Trig_h_Actions
takes nothing returns nothing
//do stuff
endfunction
//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_h
takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_h = CreateTrigger
( )
call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ
( gg_trg_h
, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT
)
call TriggerAddCondition
( gg_trg_h
, Condition
( function Trig_h_Conditions
) )
call TriggerAddAction
( gg_trg_h
, function Trig_h_Actions
)
endfunctionvs
The same trigger in pure JASS that I would write myself
function h
takes nothing returns nothing
if(GetSpellAbilityId
()=='A001'
)then
//do stuff
endif
endfunction
function InitTrig_h
takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_h=CreateTrigger
()
call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ
(gg_trg_h
,EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT
)
call TriggerAddAction
(gg_trg_h
,function h
)
endfunctionI did all this before learning JASS. I designed my triggers in GUI, then improved them in JASS.
Today, I can write JASS without planning my trigger out in GUI. In fact, today I write JASS without even opening the world editor. I extract the war3map.j file from my map and work on it in a text editor: Notepad++.
Before I learned about the syntax checker PJASS, I would copy everything over to JassCraft when I was done and correct the syntax there (F9 to syntax check). But today I have PJASS.exe (somewhat) "integrated" into notepad. I press F6 and it syntax checks my code. The errors (if any) are listed in Notepad++'s built in console window (via a plugin).
PJASS was originally written by PipeDream, and is now maintained by PitzerMike. You can find it on WC3C or
Google.
I also read Daelin's
GUI to JASS, and basically every tutorial on the first twenty pages of Google, for various search terms:
JASS tutorial,
world editor JASS tutorial,
Warcraft 3 JASS tutorial, etc...
For vJASS, I just read Vexorian's very well detailed documentation that comes with Jasshelper. Which is built into the #1 tool you most likely already have, JASS NewGen Pack: "Path-to-JNGP"\jasshelper\jasshelpermanual.html
It is an 88 pages long, half megabyte HTML document with over 20k words, so set aside an afternoon for it. I spent almost 2 hours learning vJASS.
