At first it seamed like you were referring to a campaign like the Orc campaign in TFT but when it comes to the cinematic It's like you just want to put together your own tileset. You can do that in Advanced->Modify Tileset.

get a mpq browser
export campaign maps
explore them on how to change level

That's a campaign you're talking about.

Or you just mean entering a region = Imagica, FF, RPG, etc

E
Unit enters GotoCave region
C
---------
A
Instantly move entering unit to cave.

I think Thrikodius already gave an answer to his question.

 

[Need_O2]

Sure Hiro didnt (lets bash some new comers)

Thats just to change the terrain over all ...
Maybe i didnt explain my self correctly
I need to add a map so that i can show a cinamatic then go to my main map

so you view the map then go through a portal to my 'real' map

get a mpq browser
export campaign maps
explore them on how to change level

What is a mpq?

damn if thats realy obvious i look like a complete retard now ...

Mpq is a file extension used by Blizzard to store game data. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.mpq for more information)
Our friend here, Need O2 wanted to suggest that you might want to get an mpqviewer tool from the tools section and extract the orc-beastmaster campaign made by Blizzard to analyze it.
I think it won't work since in my opinion Blizzard's campaign must be in JASS and if you can't figure out how to make a trigger to transfer your hero to the next map you won't be able to understand JASS, game cache and all that stuff.
I would also like to point out to that you can't change maps in multiplayer.
If I were you I would create a big nice map and just make the cinematics and the game itself on the same map. Just segregate a small territory for your cinematics by a texture called Boundary or with plain water or mountains.

Ok thanks
But the thing is its not ment to be a big map just a small survival map =/
dont worry its not a big deal it would have just made the map look a bit better

Thanks for your time

It's so easy to do. You just need both maps in a campaign, and the following trigger actions:

• Events
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Game - Set next level
  • Game - Victory Player X, Hide score screen, Hide dialogs

 

[emperor_d3st]

No, Knight7770. For hero transitions and saving quests and the changes the player made on a map you will need to use gamecache and several other things.

But that above trigger is how you would go from map to map. He never said anything about saving his data.

 

[Need_O2]

Knight won
You need to store things in game cache to transfer data
Create a game cache with a file name and set it to a variable
Store things in it
Save the Game Cache
Change level
Load Game Cache
load things you want

Not so simple but you will get used to it

And I want unban from chat room (lol permanent ban)
