Area transistion cache and custom stuff.

[Verticor]

Foillowing the thread of this guide, I have a question about transistioning. I got the gist of transistioning from, say, Map 1 to Map 2 and back, but what exactly gets saved for the next level? Is it everything, meaning all the stuff I may have imported or edited with the Object Editor? Or is it simply the Hero unit stats? What about quests, other triggers beyond the transistioning triggers and stuff like that?

Only the items, health and mana are saved in that tutorial. For a more advanced transition system you can use this tutorial instead :Transitions in Campaigns Guide

Ohhh, shiny!
I'll have a peak at that test campaign.

 

[Verticor]

So, everything, including gameplay constants and what have you is effectively transferred to that new map?

 

[Daffa]

Gameplay Constant is configurable from the map setting. If there are a lot of custom constant, consider MPQ editing?

 

[Verticor]

Well, there are only a few edits in it, to be fair. I guess it wouldn't be a stretch to do them over manually.

 

[Warseeker]

You cannot store gameplay constants or object data in a game cache, you have to manually edit them for each map. What you can store are items, reels, integers, booleans and strings.

Ahh, so I suppose that a custom summonling from an edited Hero ability would not qualify? I would have to import/export that data that in the editor for the Map 2?

 

[Warseeker]

Yes.

I get it now. Thanks.
