how to pass between functions without Globals?

how to pass between functions without Globals?

ok well im trying to pass a unit from one function to another, but i dont want to use globals becuase this variable could be changed very frequently,

i also cant use it as arguments of the function becuse the function im passing it to is an added action to a created trigger.

so is it, and how, possible? use handles? how with handles if so?

You should use local handle vars.

Like this:

local unit u = ... // parameter
call TriggerAddAction(trg, function SomeFunc)
call SetHandleHandle(trg, "LABEL", u)

function SomeFunc takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger trg = GetTriggeringTrigger()
    local unit u = GetHandleUnit(trg, "LABEL")
    // Use u here..
endfunction

ah i see now, thanks

one more thing in your exmaple, what about cleanup to avoid leaks?

like do i need DestroyTrigger(trg) at some point even if im not using local trigger trg=CreateTrigger()

what about leaks wit the handle? do i need to Destroy that at some poiint?

When a unit dies (or decays) run FlushHandleLocals with the dying unit.
Like this:

call FlushHandleLocals(GetDyingUnit())

That cleans up the references (but not the objects).
Likewise, before destroying a handle, also call FlushHandleLocals with that so you don't leave any unnecissary entries in the gamecache.

If you are using a gg_trg_ trigger, you won't need DestroyTrigger.
If it is created on the fly, and you only want it to execute once, destroy it when it has executed. Like this:

call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())

Hmm... it doesn't seem to work into the spell I am making... Did you type the code correctly? I don't need to change anything about Handle stuff? I have no idea bout them...

Those are Vexorians function Kattana!A true JASS cripter shouldn't use his Caster System!

vicky2004Those are Vexorians function Kattana!A true JASS cripter shouldn't use his Caster System!

why vex is a noob?he uses KaTTaNa's handle vars,if you use sthing from another guy that doesnt supposed to mean you are noob

Handle vars are kattana's , but the auto flushing thing is mine.

Handle vars are everyone's.

And the thing you said, no offense but that's stupid, utility functions exist for a reason, so true JASS scripters don't have to make stuff that was already done by other people so they have more time to make stuff that was not done yet.
