[Trigger] game cache

[greasontim]

how much can u do with game caches?

 

[GhostWolf]

The same amount you can do when you learn how to write in English and how to express your thoughts in words.

You can store several things in gamecaches. They are pretty nice if you're making a campaign and you have a hero that you want to use through the whole campaign.
"Local Handle Vars" uses gamecache and it attaches handles or other things to handles by using the infamous H2I trick.

Just read the Actions of the Game Cache category. You'll see what you can store. Use your imagination to apply that to what you need. This way, you can nearly store anything (however keep in mind that some things are a bit harder to get from your imagination to your computer then others. It all depends on how complicated you make the data you want to store xD)

First you are replacing your unit with a maiev, so you have to store the last replaced unit i think or try removing the peasant and creating the maiev on his position.

And when you are reloading it, you dont need to create the unit again, it will be created instantly.

You're right, Last Created Unit unit doesn't work for replaced units. You need to use Last Replaced Unit.

And when you are reloading it, you dont need to create the unit again, it will be created instantly.

That's not a problem. If you read the trigger more carefully, he only creates that unit if the one from the game cache doesn't exist.

Wrong, he is not using and if the else multiple actions he is using a single line if then else, and he es using as an action: the skip remaining actions, so it would'n create that unit if there isn't anything on cache.

Which is the same point I was trying to make... or did you not understand me properly? I'm native English, so that shouldn't happen unless you don't understand English very well .
