Chill out dude, no need to get worked up. As for your question, you can't do it.

It's possible but it ends the game.

Edit : btw it drops everyone from the game

I find it supsrising that you are getting mad on someone that did nothing but trying to help you. Start expressing yourself better, instead of using txt tlk and unreadable sentences, and people will understand what you are trying to say.

Back on the topic train, I believe Chocobo got it right.

good!!! like in DIABLO 2 - SAVE and EXIT

btw it drops everyone from the game

bad... so its possible to DISCONECT only one player - who pressed SAVE GAME? or anyway all ppl will be disconeccted?


and one more question,why its possible to make in WEU, and impossible in JASS? or WEU-trigger* will force disconect too?

*Create a copy of the (Saved-game filename) saved-game

call CopySaveGame("string","destination") ...
why do you say it's impossible in JASS?


> good!!! like in DIABLO 2 - SAVE and EXIT

btw, not only save and exit, it's save and quit game..

 

[CEMEHbl4]

call CopySaveGame("string","destination") - AND NAME IT
how to rename?
destination = C:\Program Files\Warcraft III right?
is this work for PICK EVERY PLAYER-loop?

 

[phyrex1an]

call CopySaveGame("what is was named before","what it will be renamed to")

If it works in multiplayer, which I don't think it does, then it's enough to do this once. No need to put it inside a loop.

 

[CEMEHbl4]

ok,this also dont work for me

Untitled Trigger 003
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
Conditions
Actions
Custom script: call CopySaveGame("diablo.w3z","XXXX.w3z")

why?

 

[0zaru]

It's for a single player game, right ? Also it's only if you have saved a another game with the diablo.w3z name before i think

 

[CEMEHbl4]

omg,of course diablo.w3z file exist! (i am not so stupid) and of course i tested it in single player...

so, why does not work?

Not w3g?

 

[CEMEHbl4]

Chocobo
Why w3g?

tell ya i am noob,just help me plz to make it work...

 

[0zaru]

or maybe tell us what do you want to do, maybe there is another way to do it.

Chocobo:
I think that the files are .w3z

 

[phyrex1an]

A few things:
1. I believe that the SaveGame natives only work as a response to a "game is saved" event.
2. It's possible that blizzard made so that you only can alter save games that the current game created.
3. Other limitations are likely.

Try without the .w3z ending and also try to use it on the Game is saved event and only on the save game file that was created on that event.
The save game natives are full of restrictions, I noticed it when doing my ladder tool, so don't put to much hope in them.
