Game Cache Issues

[Veritas88]

First of all, I know how game cache's work and I've read FAQ's and all that good stuff. I've made maps in the past with working game cache's but they were all in .w3m format. I don't know if something needs to be changed for .w3x format, or if there is another way to transfer heros from one map to another but either way it isn't working for me when i do it normally. Anyone want to help me out here?

Is there something wrong with these triggers that I'm not seeing?

You could try the game cachee reload all data from disc before loading the stored unit?

i'm no expert in game cachee's, but this could maby solve it?? correct me if im totally off

I cant se anything wrong but i am not an expert in gc loading betwen maps.

I can come up with 11 possibility why it isnt workin:

They Octavian 0001 <gen> doestn exist when you are trying to store it. You have replaced it or removed it from game.

If the Gold loading works this is probebly the answer. That or that you dont have the same label and category, you may have a extra space after or before one of the lobel/category that we cannot se.

Octavian is alive and well when he's being stored so that can't be it. The gold DOES load, I just realized, so it probably has to have something to do with the actual unit itself. I do change the owner of Octavian before he is stored, I don't know if that has anything to do with anything, but that's the only thing I ever change about him. Oh and those triggers are copied straight out of the WE (no editing).

If Octavian is a custom unit, you must define it in both maps under Object editor.
If you're creating a campaign (w3n) make sure you define Octavian under the Campaign object editor.
Anyhow, your triggers look alright.

Does this apply to custom items, abilities, buffs et cetera also?

 

[xPheRe]

As far as I'm concerned, you only can save items in game caches by creating dummy heroes and giving him the items
But take care, if the item is a custom one and it doesn't exist in the object editor of your 'destination' map (the map where you want to load this item) the game won't be able to create it.
The same occurs with abilities.
You can't save abilities in the game cache, but you may want to save a unit with a special ability in the game cache.
If this ability doesn't exist in your destination map, the unit won't be able to use this ability.
About buffs, I don't know if storing a unit with buffs in game cache also stores the unit buffs. Check it

I'm fairly sure you do have to Reload All Data From Disk before right after you create it when you're trying to read data.

Like already stated, it's good to make sure the custom data is exactly the same by exporting and importing.
