[Trigger] Hero unit doesn't load from GameCache.. Please help!!

Kratos1987 · Jan 16, 2009

Hi, i have this HUGE problem with my GameCache.. currently my campaign has Prologue, CHapter 1, Bonus stage, and chapter 2... so far my GameCache has worked for Prologue to Chapter 1, and Chapter 1 to Bonus. But for some reason bonus to chapter 2, the hero doesnt load at all, EVERYTHING else does, resources and boxes for holding extra items, but the hero himself doesnt load..

Here's the trigger i have been using for all maps so far. only difference is the save file name...

I don't know if that would be a problem, but is the dying unit that triggers the "Save Things" trigger perhaps the AAAKratos unit?

Is AAAKratos a unit anyway?

In the "Load things" trigger you must replace "Set AAAKratos = (Last created unit)" by "Set AAAKratos = (Last restored unit)"

Oh, and in the "Load Things" trigger you might simply replace that loooong if/then/else statement with an action in function of your hero's level...

Unit - Set level of Spell Revenge for AAAKratos to ((Hero level of (Last restored unit)) + 9) / 10

Kratos1987 · Jan 17, 2009

AAAKratos is the dying unit, and yes he is a unit.

oops, ok i changed last created unit to last restored unit, and it's still not working

you think that bcuz he dies it stops it from working,,, well before i made it one trigger there was another,,, the other save triggered from a timer ending. and this still didnt work

Eleandor · Jan 17, 2009

Remove the 2 wait actions?

You're also leaking some locations. But those won't solve the original problem though.

Add a debugmessage after checking if Kratos_Unit_B1 exists in the gamecache?

Kratos1987 · Jan 26, 2009

I have updated my campaign. here is the link, if anyone whos what the problem could be please download and look at triggers within the campaign itself.

Also, i tried loading everything on a test map after completing chapter one and the hero still doesn't load. so i'm guessing it has something to do with added maps

Tales of Symphonia-Kratos' Story1.2c - Page 5 - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

PS: i don;t know how to do debug messages

idodik · Jan 26, 2009

JASS:

call DebugMsg("")

It's about the only thing I know in Jass... ^^
And in GUI it's:

Game - Display to (All Players) the message Blablabla.. (for X seconds)

Kratos1987 · Jan 27, 2009

hmm! Well i think the debug trigger is the "custom script" but i have no idea what to type. Also it doesn't make sense to make a display text trigger :S

I'm using the GUI triggers!

Am i wrong with the custom script?

idodik · Jan 27, 2009

Hold on, what do you mean by a debug message?
If it's displaying a general message to all players, use any of my solutions.
But I get the feeling I don't get you right.

Kratos1987 · Jan 28, 2009

The problem is the hero doesn't load from the last map (bonus stage), i have noticed that the next map (chapter 2) doesn't display on the campaign page, only the first 3 maps are displayed. maybe this could be the problem? bcuz all the save/load triggers are identical too all maps

Also, i looked at another persons campaign and after each save (hero and storage boxes) there is a custom script. And the text in the script is similar to coding, and i don't understand it at all :S

Kratos1987 · Jan 30, 2009

Here are some pictures of the triggers and campaign editor...

Hope this helps!

neavea · Feb 1, 2009

the debug message would be like this:

Show unit type of (loaded unit) so that way you can find out whether you are loading the unit or not. If you are then its something else. If your not you know where to look and its in your saving.

Aeroblyctos · Feb 9, 2009

I think the problem is with the event. You must resurrect your hero before saving it to game cache. Also use some waits, they are sexy.

Try this. If not working, slap me in the ass.
