Save/Load Code, Yet Another

[RedRage]

Set Save[3] = Hero[ Player number of Player 1 ]
Set Save[4] = Level of (Hero[ Player number of Player 1 ])
Set SaveCount = 4
...
:

I've come across problems with this,
Hero..? I checked all the integer options their is no Hero[Player number of Player 1] so then i tried to set it to Hero - Hero Attribute, but the Unit options aren't useful any other way i can do...?

Set Save[3] = Hero[ Player number of Player 1 ]
Set Save[4] = Level of (Hero[ Player number of Player 1 ])
Set SaveCount = 4
...
:

Oh and i can't have select unit <gen> because the unit is created.

 

[AceHart]

> there is no Hero[Player number of Player 1]

You could make one if you wanted or needed to.
Create a variable called "Hero", of type "Unit", with a check in "array".
Put the Heroes in as the players get them.

Or, well, have a look at the couple examples the map comes with.
The first "Hero" sample uses "Pick every unit in ..." to get the player's Hero.

Help

I downloaded your test map and tryed to run it but it wouldn't run it would just open WC3 main screen. Is there a bug or is it just my comp?

 

[AceHart]

There are no known problems with running the demo map.
After 300+ downloads people would have noticed.

You're assumed to have TFT, latest version, though.

Do you have those variables made already? (With the correct Variable Type, and Array Size)

 

[AceHart]

A classic, yet again.
You didn't import the custom script...

 

[SumQuestions]

O yay i figured it out and it works wow i <3 AceHart

 

[SumQuestions]

i have another question, i want to save units in an area for a player, say they have 4 units in region 1 and when you save it saves those units so that the next time you load you get those four units back in region 1. how do i do this?

 

[JakeWC123]

I wanna use this code but in my map i add atributes with a dialog and whenenver u use the load it doesnt work alll the atributes are 1. any1 know how to fix this?

 

[AceHart]

> say they have 4 units in region 1

Set UnitGroup = Units in region matching:
- Unit is owned by Triggering player
- Unit is (not) a Hero
- Unit is alive
Set Save[...] = Number of units in UnitGroup
Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do
... add it to the Save array.

And the other way around to load them back.


> I add attributes with a dialog

Save them...

Set Save[...] = Strength of (Picked unit)
Set Save[...] = Agility ...
...

And restore them in the load part.

 

[JakeWC123]

thnx and i gotta nother 3 Questions.

1st. For Storing Items Couldnt You Just Do This.

Item - Pick every item in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Set SaveLoad_Items[1] = (Item-type of (Picked item))

2nd. How Do you change the clolors of the numbers / letters i did this.

Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) for 60.00 seconds the text: ((|c00FF8000 + Code) + |r)

but only part of the code was the color i wanted it to be.


And 3rd
Most Of The Time when i load the atributes Are 4,5,6 instead of the ones saved?
Or THe Heroe Doesnt Load but it says it Worked.

 

[Turilli]

Hey AceHeart. I've been using your code for and RPG map I've been working on, and everything has been going extremely smooth. However, I have encountered a problem now.

I'm pretty much pushing the code to its limits. I'm saving 6 heroes, their level (not experience), their item (each hero can only hold 1), and the player's gold.

Now, it works for the most part, however, when the heroes are max level (level 100), and they're all holding 1 item, the code will not appear. I assume this is because it is exceeding some limit in length. However, when I drop one unit's item, the code will appear.

When I type the code in, there is still ample space left in the player's chat message, however, the code will not appear if it exceeds (aproximately) 75 characters - even though the player is able to type in far more than 75 characters.

Is there anyway to fix this?

 

[guy fawkes]

the map editor won't allow me to open the map you gave.

first it comes up a bunch of 'trigger function does not exist on database: ...' notifications then a:

'This application has encountered a critical error:

Not enough storage is available to process this command.

Program: c:\program files\warcraft iii\worldedit.exe
Object: .PAVCWETriggerFunction@@



Press OK to terminate the application.'

i've tried effane's save/load code map as well and it comes up with the same error.

 

[JakeWC123]

you need to copy the custom script into your map...

 

[SumQuestions]

Saving a stash (same location)

title says it, but how do i do it?

 

[AceHart]

> Item - Pick every item in (Playable map area)

That only finds items on the ground. Not in inventories.


> How Do you change the clolors of the numbers / letters

Somewhere more or less near the top in the custom script section is a function that color-codes the result.
Find and edit it... carefully.


> it comes up a bunch of 'trigger function does not exist on database: ...'

Get the latest patch.


> Is there anyway to fix this?

Sort of.
Save them in two blocks of 3...


> "stash"

If by "stash" you mean some kind of unit with an inventory... well, there's a loop that finds and saves your Hero.
Take it and change the "pick every in" to find both your Hero and your "stash" unit.

There is an example trigger in the map that saves several Heroes, should you need some inspiration.

 

[power]

I'm so bad at this save and load stuff, When I copy your triggers into my map all I get is this "Script not found" or error and all this and I have to press ok like a million times, what do I need to do. Thanks for replying when you do!
