I'm not going to make the save/load system for you.

Did you try doing the exercises aarcaa? If you just blaze through it w/o doing the exercises, you'll get lost later on. Make sure you can do the exercises without any problems before moving on.

The exercises give you the correct answers with the steps to get there as well if you get them wrong.

For example, what is a base? What is 93 in base 8 (01234567)? Answer: 135

If you have 2 values of 3 and 7 with maxes of 15 and 12, what would those two values as one value be? Answer: 46.

Given the maximums 3, 4, and 5, what are the numbers that make up 59? Answer: 2, 3, 4

I copied and editeed it a little,but when i try to load the code it always says "Invalid code"

The only difficult part of making a save/load system is the conversion back from character to integer as unless you use hashtables it will have an O(n) complexity.

The idea is prety simple.

Saving does the following...
Parameters (integers) -[base conversion]-> Character Indicies -[character map]-> String

Loading does the following
String -[character map]-> Character Indicies -[base conversion]-> Parameters (integers)

Even Nestharus's one which at times is needlessly complicated follows those principles. Most of his save system is a parameter compression system which translates into a single vectorised integer that is translated in a single opperation to a code with some additional crypteography techniques.

Usually the Character Indicies part is masked through a pipe in the implementation (moved through next step as computed).

Well, if you just want to save/load from the same game you play, I think you can use this
(Just a theory though, I'll test it later)
  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
      • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
      • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
      • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
      • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
      • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
      • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
      • Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
      • Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
      • Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
      • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • -------- Checking which player is saving --------
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Triggering player) Equal to (Player((Integer A)))
            • Then - Actions
              • -------- I'm using the built-in Player index to define this. (Never used it, though) --------
              • -------- You can also define set your own Player Index variables --------
              • -------- Set the attribute you want to save to the saving area variables --------
              • Set PlayerGold[(Integer A)] = ((Player((Integer A))) Current gold)
              • Set PlayerRank[(Integer A)] = UnitCurrentRank[(Integer A)]
              • -------- (You can add more...) --------
            • Else - Actions
              • Do nothing
And for loading:
  • Untitled Trigger 002
    • Events
      • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -load as A substring
      • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -load as A substring
      • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -load as A substring
      • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -load as A substring
      • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -load as A substring
      • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -load as A substring
      • Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -load as A substring
      • Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -load as A substring
      • Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -load as A substring
      • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -load as A substring
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Triggering player) Equal to (Player((Integer A)))
            • Then - Actions
              • Player - Set (Player((Integer A))) Current gold to PlayerGold[(Integer A)]
              • Set UnitCurrentRank[(Integer A)] = PlayerRank[(Integer A)]
              • --------(You can add more...)--------
            • Else - Actions
              • Do Nothing
Please don't mad at me if it doesn't work. Just a theory and concept...
(Forgive me too! And look, there's me on the trigger! And you can remove the Do Nothing action, since it's do nothing...)

As for leave the game and come back, It'll need to make an external file...

Please don't give up! I don't like give ups... Maybe we can solve it together, either publicly or privately...
(yeah, by giving up, you can't go advance! Don't give up to the end....)
