[Solved] Game Caches not working

[Oraien]

Hello,
I'm currently working on a custom campaign and I use game caches to store heroes between maps. I did so and everything worked perfectly fine.
Then I did some updates, I expanded the missions but it didn't work anymore. When I order to restore the hero, no unit is created. I checked the triggers and they are the same like the ones that worked.
Any idea what might have caused that?

Perhaps the game cache called is not exactly the same.

One:

    call InitGameCache("someFile.w3v")

Two:

    call InitGameCache("otherFile.w3v")

Or if that's not the case, you could try checking if the strings present are generated globally, so that there would be no locally-generated string to StringHash with...

Maybe they are not saved in the same indices...

 

[Oraien]

Well, they are both called the same and the Labels and Cathegories and the same too, I spell-checked them like 5 times
also, when I try to save the hero, I tried doing it various ways, saving in between, at the end only, never, vurnulable, invurnulable, as a variable or as a <gen>, every time I load the value, it goes out as "No Unit" and I have no idea what more to change

EDIT: Ok, so I did a test, where at the end of the mission I save the hero and then restore it and it DID restore him, so it must be becouse of transition between two maps

When you restore the hero, is it in the same map? If not, it might be possible that the object data is not exactly the same with the starting map, in the sense that you have essential data that does not exist.

 

[Oraien]

Yeah, I stored it in the one map and then set a trigger to restore him a few seconds later just to see whether he gets stored or not and he did
I also copied the hero from one map to the other to ensure the units were the same, still not working

EDIT: The campaign has so far 4 mission, the GC between 1 and 2 doesnt work, between 2 and 3, 3 and 4 works normally and the game cache triggers are EXACTLY the same, wtf is happening?

 

[MyPad]

Perhaps it is time to upload the map itself.
Not just the map, the campaign as well.

 

[Oraien]

the maps that I am talking about are Alynor1 and Alynor2 and the hero is Manarok

 

[MyPad]

I studied your campaign and here are my results: Your object data is not correctly matched with the rest.
That is what caused the failure of the restoration of the hero.

Suggested Fix: Import all object data from the most-complete map object data wise to your campaign object data.

 

[Oraien]

I downloaded your file, I replaced both Manaroks with the one that the campaign custom data and still the second one is not restored

 

[MyPad]

Are you sure that the rawcode for Manorok is H005 for all the maps?

 

[Oraien]

no, his code in the first mission is H005, in the second H006 and in the campaign custom data H600

EDIT: I checked differences, the only one are rawcodes of spells

 

[MyPad]

That explains the disparity between the data. Try to check the rawcode of Manorok in chapters two and three, and so on and so forth, and see if they match. If they do, then make sure that the second map has the same rawcode.

With that being said, you can just copy and paste the hero until you get the desired rawcode.


Extra:
Want me to review your map?

 

[Oraien]

OMG! It works! HOLY CRAP! Thank you so much for your efford! I would have never made it without your help!

This, what I uploaded here, isn't the final version, the campaign is still in development and I'll be updating it over time here and I'll gladly accept any review and feedback
