patrols in jass???

ok so i was wondering how to put patrols in jass?? like how nomor did his in loam because it ended up not causeing em leaks

write a set of functions that simplifies what you need to put in to generate a patrol.
simplest is:

Patrol(unittype, region1, region2)

and it creates the unit at region 1, makes it patrol to region 2.

If youre unsure how to make these functions, just ask carlos or FlRE. or me for a list of functions

alright so how do u do the functions

Start reading at "OK, that's all neat..."

o man i still dont get it. is it possible of u just to show me a patrol in jass then explane that to me? might be easier

message me in clan arun

PART 1
1) Make a Trigger call it Library, Convert to custom text and delete all the shit inside it. Then copy n paste this.
For the shit below this DO NOT EDIT IT IN ANYWAY. This is the trigger you do NOT edit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

library Patrol

globals
// Orc
integer raider = 'orai'
integer grunt = 'ogru'
integer tauren = 'otau'
integer headhunter = 'ohun'
integer doctor = 'odoc'
integer kodo = 'okod'
integer shaman = 'oshm'
integer wyvern = 'owyv'
// Human
integer footman = 'hfoo'
integer knight = 'hkni'
integer rifle = 'hrif'
integer priest = 'hmpr'
integer sorc = 'hsor'
integer tank = 'hmtt'
integer captain = 'hcth'
integer gryphon = 'hgry'
integer gyro = 'hgyr'
// Undead
integer ghoul = 'ugho'
integer abom = 'uabo'
integer spider = 'ucry'
integer banshee = 'uban'
integer necro = 'unec'
integer garg = 'ugar'
integer frost = 'ufro'
// Night Elf
integer archer = 'earc'
integer claw = 'edoc'
integer talon = 'edot'
integer huntress = 'esen'
integer dryad = 'edry'
integer hippo = 'ehip'
integer hipporider = 'ehpr'
integer chim = 'echm'
integer wisp = 'ewsp'
// Attackers
integer mortar = 'hmtm'
integer catapault = 'ocat'
integer wagon = 'umtw'
integer ballista = 'ebal'
endglobals

function patrol takes integer t, rect r, rect s returns nothing
local unit u = CreateUnit(Player(11), t, GetRectCenterX(r), GetRectCenterY(r), 0)
call IssuePointOrder(u,"patrol",GetRectCenterX(s), GetRectCenterY(s))
endfunction

function attacker takes integer t, rect r, rect s returns nothing
local unit u = CreateUnit(Player(11), t, GetRectCenterX(r), GetRectCenterY(r), 0)
call IssuePointOrder(u,"attackground",GetRectCenterX(s), GetRectCenterY(s))
endfunction

endlibrary

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PART 2

Now you'll need a trigger to make the function and patrols happen in game Right?
1) Now make a trigger called Patrols
2) Copy n Paste This.
3) Keep in mind that the two back slashes need to be removed in order for the trigger to run.
4) Remember for the bottom part make sure it says Patrols and you name your trigger Patrols.
5) Now all you have to do is instert a unit type, Archer, Shaman, etc (Pick any unit from Globals --> EndGlobals)
6) The first region is the creating a unit region
7) The second region is the region the created unit is patrolling to.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function Trig_Patrols_Actions takes nothing returns nothing

//call patrol(shaman, gg_rct_Region_000, gg_rct_Region_001)
//call attacker(mortar, gg_rct_Region_000, gg_rct_Region_001)

endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Patrols takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Patrols = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Patrols, function Trig_Patrols_Actions )
endfunction

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And thanks to arun, thats all you need to know how to do to make fast patrols in jass.

Bump my post above.

this is the whole trigger:

function Trig_Patrols_Actions takes nothing returns nothing

call patrol(grunt, gg_rct_Region_075, gg_rct_Region_076)
call attacker(mortar, gg_rct_Region_224, gg_rct_Region_104)
call patrol(grunt, gg_rct_Region_095, gg_rct_Region_077)
call patrol(priest, gg_rct_Region_096, gg_rct_Region_103)
call patrol(rifle, gg_rct_Region_194, gg_rct_Region_193)
call patrol(rifle, gg_rct_Region_188, gg_rct_Region_187)
call patrol(priest, gg_rct_Region_184, gg_rct_Region_183)
call patrol(headhunter, gg_rct_Region_109, gg_rct_Region_122)
call patrol(shaman, gg_rct_Region_181, gg_rct_Region_182)
call patrol(rifle, gg_rct_Region_197, gg_rct_Region_198)
call patrol(archer, gg_rct_Region_199, gg_rct_Region_200)
call patrol(rifle, gg_rct_Region_105, gg_rct_Region_108)

endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Patrols takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Patrols = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Patrols, function Trig_Patrols_Actions )
endfunction


it says this is wrong

undeclared variable set gg_trg_Patrols = CreateTrigger( )

Change the name of Untitled Trigger 001 to Patrols

yea i figuered that out after i forgot the s the 1st time. then i redid it and i forgot the whole changing the name.

I'm having trouble with this. Here's my trig:

Spoiler:

Yes, the trigger name is Patrols, and I made the Library trigger.
Anyway, I save my map and I get this error from jasshelper.

Spoiler:

Can anyone plz help? I've been trying to solve this for like a whole day now.. I compared it to the same trigger in Maze of Glory 3, and they're the same.

It looks like your missing the Patrol library that amaz posted above

Well I can't show you any pictures now.. I deleted the triggers because I never solved it, so I just basically made the same trigger in GUI.

Spoiler:

And then I keep doing that until I finish all the patrols. More work though. :/
BTW I did have the Patrol library. Didn't edit anything in there like Amaz said.

you could make the patrols trigger in gui

something like it having no event
but the actions would create a unit at a global region and order it to move to the other global region

you'd have to set each of the regions though and in the end it'd be much more difficult
even more difficult then writing each out in gui

you really should use a jass patrol trigger though, otherwise each patrol leaks

anyways pat's right
the only reason you'd get that error is if your map didnt have any function called Patrol

looking at mark's screenshot,
the function name is patrol not Patrol
everything is case sensitive
of course this is relying on mark's version being right
which is never a good idea
