I'm not exactly sure, but I think this action is the source of your problem. The "Last created game cache" is giving you the problem. Instead of that, type in the name of the game cache you stored your hero to. I think you named it illidan.wcv. So now this should be your revised action for loading the cache:

Actions
Game Cache- Restore illidan of hero from illidan.wcv for Player 1 (Red) at Center of start <gen> facing 270.00

Try this and see if this solves the problem. Best wishes!

Don't use last created game cache...make a variable of type game cache and specify that one.... and that should fix it

You have to recreate the game cache. Dont worry as long as you have the same names for the game chache the vaules in it is the same.

A variable wont work, becuse you are changing the map and variables isnt passed beetwen maps, that is the whole idee with the game cache.

ive tryed the variable method and it doesnt work, im gonna try recreating the cache.
edit: doesnt work either

This is the exact triggers from the blizzard demo campaigne

Store in first map:

Next Level Prep
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        -------- Remove Quest Items --------
        Item - Remove ItemSeed
        Item - Remove ItemVine
        -------- Save Heroes --------
        Game Cache - Create a game cache from DemoCampaign.w3v
        Game Cache - Store Thrall as Thrall of Demo04 in (Last created game cache)
        Game Cache - Save (Last created game cache)
        -------- Enable Missions, Campaigns, Cinematics --------
        -------- Show custom campaign button for the next level --------
        Game - Show custom campaign button 2

Load in second:

Load Heroes
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        -------- Create The Game Cache --------
        Game Cache - Create a game cache from DemoCampaign.w3v
        -------- Load Each Hero --------
        Trigger - Run Load Thrall <gen> (checking conditions)

Load Thrall
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        -------- Load Hero From Cache --------
        Game Cache - Restore Thrall of Demo04 from (Last created game cache) for AP1_Player at (Center of Intro Thrall Start <gen>) facing 350.00
        Set Thrall = (Last restored unit)
        If (Thrall Not equal to No unit) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
        -------- Create Default Hero --------
        Unit - Create 1 Thrall for AP1_Player at (Center of Intro Thrall Start <gen>) facing 350.00 degrees
        Hero - Set (Last created unit) Hero-level to 4, Hide level-up graphics
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Orc Far Seer - Far Sight
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Orc Far Seer - Feral Spirit
        Set Thrall = (Last created unit)

If you remove all all unnecesary stuff and merge the triggers you get this:
Store:

       Game Cache - Create a game cache from [B]<Some Name>[/B]
       Game Cache - Store <Unit> as [B]<Lable>[/B] of [B]<Category>[/B] in (Last created game cache)
        Game Cache - Save (Last created game cache)

Load:

        Game Cache - Create a game cache from [B]<Some Name>[/B]
        Game Cache - Restore [B]<Label>[/B] of [B]<Category>[/B] from (Last created game cache) for <Player> at <Point> facing <Real>
----Check if you need tho create a unit(game cache was empty)---

All bold stuff must be the same in both maps
