Adding Cheats to DOTD 5.3

[AweDio87]

Yo, sup. I need a little bit of help on adding a cheat pack to 5.3b. I tried using the one here
http://www.d3scene.com/forum/editing/28 ... s-map.html

but everytime I do so the map won't start. I think it has something to do with the start locations on the script cause I've tried adding that same cheat pack to other maps and it works fine. And here's the code for the map w/ the cheatpack in it. The map won't even start when I import the edited war3map.j into the map. Just open war3map.txt with jasscraft.

umm, pretty sure that tutorial is outdated.

try one of our tutorials, you should be able to do it.

P.S. Moved to requests.

Ehh.. outdated or not most of the scripts for cheats on this forum are pretty much the same as on that site. You add stuff under globals, endglobals and function main. So its more or less the same as most of the cheats here minus a few other cheat commands. I'm pretty sure its not working cause of the start locations. The guy who made the map didn't put any start locations on the map he just wrote custom start locations in jass.

Thank you, what do you mean by study on TD? And can you please tell me why the cheats I implimented wouldn't work?

Because, as Bart kept saying, those cheats are outdated. "Their" cheats are outdated. That guide is actually a guide to adding an old version of Aero's cheatpack. The more recent version of his pack can be found HERE. Most of the scripts are the same on this site? I really wonder why. No, I'm going to stop right now, I'm not going to discuss this. I'm just going to say that the cheats on that guide are Aero's, and they weren't posted on there by him, and there wasn't much credit at all to him (actually, I think none at first, until some people from this forum noticed).
I don't know why Cagik said what he did, but I know why you screwed up. You didn't follow the guide. Unfortunately, one of the most common errors that there is besides not deleting the (attributes) file, isn't bolded, isn't made obvious. Here's what you did wrong, in a quote from JJ's guide:

Make sure to put the last part under the locals in function main.
If there is no locals, just put it right under function main takes nothing returns nothing.

Yours looked like:
function main takes nothing returns nothing
local integer qaz=0
loop
exitwhen qaz>11
call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent(ICHEAT,Player(qaz),"-cheat",false)
set qaz=qaz+1
endloop
call TriggerAddAction(ICHEAT,function CheatUse)
call TriggerAddAction(CHEATS,function Cheatz)
local weathereffect we
local integer itemID
blah blah blah...
So, if you had used Jasscraft and just hit F9, the syntax checker (it only takes a FEW seconds!) would have showed you twelve errors, for a local declaration under the first statement. Basically, add the cheats at the BOTTOM OF THE LOCALS!!!

Oh alright, thanks. I didn't know you could compile and have Jasscraft check things. I'm pretty new to this stuff.
