Hashtable gamecach... can't understand

[KillmegodsComments]

I tried to store my hero to the next level of my test campaign and wen I try to save the map he crash and the problem lies in this line:
call SaveGameCacheHandleBJ( udg_TestCampaign, 1, 0, udg_TestHashTable )
udg_TestCampaign = created game cache
udg_TestHashTable = created hashtable

I tried to use hashtable since the Save game Cache was removed by blizz in patch 1.24

Help me :S

I don't understand how patch 1.24 has anything to do with game caches.

Well before patch 1.24 there was a trigger in the game cache section that allowed the user to save is game cache. I think it was this: Game Cache - save GameCache
This dosen't exists anymore... so how am I supposed to save a hero to the next level in my campaign? The only option that allows me to save a game cache is by hashtables. Hashtable - Save Gamecache Handle.

its not
Game Cache - Store (Last created unit) as myhero of Category in (Last created game cache)
?
Its still in the WE right above hash tables...

This is a tutorial (part of it) made by Bob27 about gamecaches
Events
Map initialization

Conditions
Actions
Game Cache - Create a game cache from TutorialCache.w3v
Set TutorialCache = (Last created game cache)
Game Cache - Save TutorialCache

-----------------------------------
The last action "Game Cache - Save TutorialCache" dosen't exists anymore. I cannot save the gamecache, to use it on the other level... The action that you're talking about ,Drenith ,is the Store action =S

1.24 changes doesn't interfere with non-abusive use of gamecache, the only thing that is broken by 1.24 is storing handle as integer in gamecache and that is done on purpose.

I have the same problem..what should I do to store stuff between maps, now that the action "Game Cache - Save" no longer exists? I have tried to use the hashtable, but failed miserably...

You can use custom script: call SaveGameCache(yourgamecachename) if you still can't find the option in worldedit GUI

Gamecaches work fine, just the GUI for them is bust, use JASS and it will work.

Hashtables work the same as gamecaches but they have no ability to retain data from one map to another and all data stored in them is lost when the map ends.

 

[LordMendes]

Thank you..it worked!

 

[KillmegodsComments]

Thanks too, it really helped me

So we can still save game caches though we need to use a custom script because the GUI function to save it had been removed?

 

[ACDS2]

Yes the gui for Game Cache - Save is removed from 1.24 worldedit.

okay... thanks... though I'm still at 1.21b..... I haven't updated yet....... because I think its not a no-cd patch right? and I cant find my CD... one question though I'm not sure if its okay to talk about this here, If I use version switcher will it also affect the editor?

Just update to 1.24.1. The patch is no CD so basically once it is installed you never need your CDs again. Infact, you can throw your CDs away if you want as long as you tie your CDkey to a battlenet account, letting you download the game on demmand and stuff.

There is no need for version switchers at all.
