ok im having a veary hard time on this one.
example your making a Map and on the same map you wand a dungeon but there is no room anymore. so what i want is that you enter a region and then your units get saved in a cache the computer switches map reloads the units and you can play on.
 
Can only be done in single player, in multiplayer you need to make a bigger map size.
 
ah like that wel im actualy yust making this map for a frend its gonna be an RPG like map. yust like the founding of durotar.
 
Righto. It always looks good if you add nice special effects to the map change regions, and you can also add restrictions on what units to transfer or make the hero require items to be able to change map simply by using If/then/else actions. Good luck :)
 
ok olready thanks for the help but this only rezolves haf of my question
i read this tut http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=51668
and now i know how to save and switch map but now i have the problem that i can only have 1 entrance location at my main map(s)
example 1 main map and 4 sub maps. each map is a square (doh)
at each side pf the square in the main map is an road (exit) whit a region when you enter the region you switch of map whit your cache. then your in one of the sub maps and wanto go back to the main map you setted your cache that you wil get ur units back et the same region you used to leave to the that specific sub map. you go to another sub map and want to go to the main map again. here is my problem yuou wil auto get your units back a the zone you used whit the other sub map. you can switch maps whit a cache but you cant make miltitiple entrances know what i mean?
solution pleas?
 
Oh lol still the same problem man Your tut says the same as the one i olready read.
My problem is that when you have a map that is linked to 2 other maps you can only have 1 location wheer the cache wil create ur units on that map...
 
Well, you can store more than just Heroes.
Numbers for example.

As in, store 1 if you came from map 1, 2 on map 2, ... or something along those lines.
When loading, check that number and decide on some other spot based on that.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    I will have to get used to this.
