Basic Game Cache Help.

[Sir-Whiskey]

I've been searching the forums and the tutorials but I can't find anything about basic game caches. I am Trying to simply save and load a hero these are the triggers I'm using. I don't know how to create the scroll window people put triggers in so I'll just write them.

Create a game cache from Campaignname.w3x
Store Hero as Hero1 in last created game cache
Save last created game cache

Next map:

Create a game cache from Campaignname.w3x
Restore unit Hero as Hero1 from last created game cache for player 1 at center of region 00

please help.

I checked the map making tutorials and they don't tell me what i'm doing wrong.

The scroll window is made with [code ] [/code ] tags (sans spaces).

As for the game cache, try looking at the demo campaign included with TFT and see how that one works.

I believe I did everything correct with the game caches. The problem is my set next level trigger can someone show me the proper format for this?

Well if you can't seem to get the hero imported with the correct level, you can always make an integer equal to the level of the hero and then import the integer into the game cache. Then, upon restoration on the other map, import the integer and set the hero's level to the integer. Unfortunately, you'll lose your ability selection, so there might be another way of doing it.

Game cache's save ALL data of the hero if you save them in it, so there's no need to set the level. All items, abilities, levels, and experience is transferred over.

The reason it's not working is your overriding the old game cache. Use this:

First map
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Game Cache - Create a game cache from Campaign.w3v
        Game Cache - Store <Your Hero> as Hero of Heroes in (Last created game cache)
        Game Cache - (Last Created Game Cache)

Untitled Trigger 002
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Game Cache - Restore Hero of Heroes from Campaign.w3v for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 0.00

        Game Cache - Restore Hero of Heroes from [U][COLOR=Red][B]Campaign.w3v[/B][/COLOR][/U] for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 0.00

I'm not able to write the file chache name...i can only select "LAST CREATE GAME CHACE" and if i write it the restore dont work...
I need to use "Custom Script"?

Is your saved unit a custom unit-type?
If it is, remember to copy your custom data to your second map
If you're creating a campaign be sure your custom unit is created in the Object Editor that's inside the Campaign Editor

The reason it's not working is your overriding the old game cache.

I did some tests and saw that Create a game cache only opens the file you name (and creates it if it doesn't exists), but doesn't truncate its contents.
You need to create a game cache to set a variable to it or even reference it later with Last created game cache

 

[Polistus]

yes is custom and i have copy the data in the campain custom unit editor....but if i add it by tool (not by code) i see the unit in the wEditor but in the game there is not....

But the problem is not this...

I read the code wrote by conan and I wrote "from Campain.w3v"...is possible to write the name of file in the code? I think not...

I'm going out of head!! :nuts:

Help!

Here's a map...

 

[Polistus]

Uh...this is nice!
But works with custom unit?

Forget for a moment the cache...is normal this:

If i add my custom hero from the table of custom unit in the new map i see it. but if run the map in game (or in test mode) the unit is not in the map!

I've copied data, if i didn't it the unit can't be in the table right?

 

[Heptameron]

It works with custom units if the rawcode of both units is the same (the thing you see if you press Ctrl+D in the object editor... the h003 or whatever).

 

[Polistus]

It works with custom units if the rawcode of both units is the same (the thing you see if you press Ctrl+D in the object editor... the h003 or whatever).

I've checked with your method (CTRL+D) and I find my error!

Now all works!!!

THANK YOU TO ALLS!!!
