Game Cache store ability

[K40$]-Spectre · Oct 18, 2008

Which trigger allows you to store an ability from an unit and which trigger can restore it for the unit in the next level. I already have a game cache working. Thanks for help.

I believe abilities are stored along with a unit, so you just save the unit as Game Cache, and you'll load it with his same abilities.

Doesn't work. Also maybe this will make things more clearly: the unit gains the ability in the middle of a map, so he hasn't got the ability in the beginning of the map.

set the level of the ability to an integer and save the integer into game cache

Sorry for late reaction. Can you give an example? I've tried a trigger similary to that but it didn't work.

That doesn't store the ability, only it's level. You just set the level to the stored integer Game Cache of the ability's level. But if the abilities don't show at the unit, you can't set the ability level either...

Yeah you're right, that is the problem. I only now need the trigger which can store the ability.

Ability ids are integers
you can store them with Jass like
call StoreInt(<gamecache>,"key",'A000') for example

I guess you are using some sort of ability purshing system
so you need to store ability ids in variables
Whenever Unit buys ability
Set NumOfAbilities[Player Number] = NumOfAbilities[Player Number] +1
Custom script: set udg_Abilities[ConvertedPlayerNumber(GetOwningPlayer(<learning unit>))] = <id of learned ability>

when storing
For Each A integer from 1 to NumOfAbilities[Player Number of storing player]
Custom script: call StoreInt(gamecache,"keyname"+I2S(bj_forloopAindex),set udg_Abilities[ConvertedPlayerNumber(GetOwningPlayer(<learning unit>))])

anyway something like this

I will use this game cache in a campaign. In map 1 will you buy weapons, e.g. laser turret and in future map (e.g. map 2) I want to restore the ability with its level. How should the triggers will look and the custom scripts? Answer is +rep of course.

The weapon is an ability? Or an item? If it's an ability and the ability isn't stored along with the unit, all I can think of is make a Integer Variable for each ability (0=Not available, 1=Available) and save that. Then you save and load it as Game Cache and make loads of If/Then/Else triggers

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
- If - Conditions
  - LaserTurretAvailable equal to 1
- Then - Actions
  - Unit - Add Laser Turret to UNIT
- Else - Actions

And then add the command to set it to the ability level you saved it as.

Ok thanks, I get it. +rep to you for helping me and +rep to Need_02 for the integer idea, thanks very much!
