please disregard the dotted section unless you are a mod
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
First I'd like to say to all mods that view this that I get confused about whether posts should be in this section or triggers sections if they are about triggers. If this should be in that section by all means move it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
now onto my post
I have been trying to transition my campaign but it never works. Can someone please help me figure out my trigger and fix it?

      • Game Cache - Store Samuel iojin 0002 <gen> as hero of map 1 in game_cache
      • Game Cache - Store (Hero experience of Samuel iojin 0002 <gen>) as XP of map 1 in game_cache
      • Cinematic - Fade out over 4.00 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
      • Game - Set the next level to Maps\a tumultous plotline.w3x
      • Game - Show custom campaign button 2
      • Game - Save game as ashortbeggining.w3z and change level to Maps\a tumultous plotline.w3x (Show scores)

A lot of this is a cinematic but the bottom part matters heavily as it is the transition. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Also, here's the cache trigger.

  • creating a cache
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Game Cache - Create a game cache from maincache.w3v
      • Set game_cache = (Last created game cache)

I'm not so clear on the whole cache concept but I understand it as well as I have to. It's the inability to transmission which is killing.

Why you have this:

twice, in the begining and in the end of the transmition...?

I am going to assume he wanted to turn it off... But then he also forgot to

  • Cinematic - Turn off letterbox mode (hide interface) for (All players): fade out over 1.00 seconds
But why do you save the game at the end? That highly unneeded as it would only result in a player loading it would be stuck... as the victory and change level have already been run...

Still it is ages since I last tinkered around with my campaign so I have trouble recalling the exact trigger to change level.. although I recall enough to be certain that you have done something else..

Wait... Checking up on it closer it appears like the function; "change level" has ironically been changed... So you will have to use something else...

Try to move the "a tumultous plotline.w3x" in some folder like:
"Maps\New\a tumultous plotline.w3x"

This here:
  • Game - Set the next level to Maps\a tumultous plotline.w3x
has to be in *.w3m type like this:
  • Game - Set the next level to Maps\a tumultous plotline.w3m
Click to expand...

I usually name mine campaign.. makes it easier for me to remember...

Anyway a question to you (lightning brigade) - Did you add the map in the campaign editor? If you didn't that would really explain everything...

I find it funny that people assume that. I am an experienced mapmaker. I definitely put my map in the campaign. I will try doing what was suggested and hopefully it will work.

kk... Just checking (Never said anything about your experience level btw :bored:) - When you begin to program you will discover just how many times the error is caused by something very very basic which you just thought you already did... :wink:

Good luck

I tried what you said about changing it to w3m but it said it wouldn't be able to connect so I changed it back because a tumultous plotline is a w3x map. I couldn't understand what you said about folders and whatnot but it gave me the idea of putting all of the maps into the campaigns folder. But it didn't work. Is there any missing triggers? This is the reposted trigger.

As I mentioned before I have the feeling that the change level action have been changed... because when one try to open up a campaign file it says: Failed to load "change level" blabla...

So might also explain something - Oh how I wish I could open my old campaign... which I can.. but would require me to go to my other comp, but that won't be now... too lazy :wink:
