How do i make a good save and load system?

[WhenNubEZAttack]

Hi i'm making an rpg and i need help. I cant figure out how to make a save and load system and how to make a trigger that spawns units that are able to drop items.

Q1: i need a save and load system.

Q2: whenever i make a trigger for spawns of enemy units i dont know how to spawn them with an item table.

Any help would be good.

A1: This is not something I would recommend you doing by yourself, use an existing system instead. Link #1 Link #2

A2: You can't assign pre-determined loot tables to spawned units.
You've got to rely upon randomizing item drops using variables and triggers.

Sure thing:

• Item Drop
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Gnoll
  • Actions
    • Set tempPoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Set Random = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Random Greater than or equal to 51
      • Then - Actions
        • Item - Create Claws of Attack +3 at tempPoint
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Random Less than or equal to 20
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- Drop Nothing! --------
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • Random Greater than or equal to 21
                • Random Less than or equal to 50
              • Then - Actions
                • Item - Create Rusty Mining Pick at tempPoint
              • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_tempPoint )

If the dying unit is a Gnoll, it has a 50% chance to drop Claw of Attack +3, 20% chance of dropping nothing and 30% chance of dropping a Rusty Mining Pick.

ok thank you and one more question how do i make it a random chance that if i enter a region that there will be like a 20% chance for a unit to spawn.

EDIT:
is temp point a variable and if it is wat type i need more info on that

Yes, TempPoint is a variable and its type is Point.

It's pretty much the same as the previous trigger.

• Spawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters RegionX <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set tempPoint = (Center of RegionX <gen>)
    • Set Random = (Random integer number between 1 and 5)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Random Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at tempPoint facing tempPoint
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_tempPoint )

thanks for the help i just want to know how can i make it that like if i hit a unit or get a unit to 50% life that it secretly calls for help and there's a chance another unit will pop up.How do i make it so that a item can only be picked up by a specific unit/structure and that u may only hold 1 weapon 1 shield ect. like in ff orpg by undead budgie.
