Saving Heroes

[Neoz]

I've done this:

Game Cache - Create game cache for (map 3.w3v)
Game Cache - Store (last replaced unit) as (Hero) of (Map3) in (Last created game cache)
Game Cache - Save (last created game cache)

Then I open up my level where I want to restore the hero and do this:

Game Cache - Restore all game cache data from disk
Game Cache - Create game cache for (map3.w3v)
Game Cache - Restore (Hero) of (Map3) at center of region (region 5)

I copied the file of the imported hero into the second map, so it should be able to open the file.
Also I imported the model file, ofcourse. (yes I used the right path)

I've put the maps into a campaign and tried to get this to work, but it doesn't. Any help?

I did not use any spaces between category or label names.
I also tried to use variables containing the game cache info by setting a variable to GameCache[1]. This didn't help either.
On the internet you can find allot of tutorials, but they didn't help me to find the solution.

If you create a game cache in the second one I believe it destroys the previous game cache if it has the same name

I also tried that, not creating a new one, but the tutorials show me that I do have to create one.

Is there no one who can answer my question? I know its not the easiest question, but i'd like it answered, because it keeps me off creating my campaign!

Please help^^

There's your mistake, you Created a Game Cache (map 3.w3v) and than saved it, but than you are trying to load that same Cache by typing (map3.w3v) which you never did create in fact . These things are Case-sensitive(that would mean it has to be 100% alike.) Hope it was useful info , try it out :thup:

P.s
