How to transfer Gold and Lumber resources from one mission to another?

[saberslash117]

As the title says, does anyone know a simple and straighforward way to achieve this? I'm still new to variable usage and cache saves and i couldn't find a thread about it. Please and thank you

Here are two basic triggers, you store data in the first and use the second to load it in the next map

• Save
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game Cache - Create a game cache from MyCache.w3v
    • Set VariableSet MyCache = (Last created game cache)
    • -------- --------------- --------
    • Set VariableSet MyGold = (Player 1 (Red) Current gold)
    • Set VariableSet MyLumber = (Player 1 (Red) Current lumber)
    • -------- --------------- --------
    • Game Cache - Store MyGold as Gold of Resources in MyCache
    • Game Cache - Store MyLumber as Lumber of Resources in MyCache
    • -------- --------------- --------
    • Game Cache - Save MyCache.

• Load
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game Cache - Create a game cache from MyCache.w3v
    • Set VariableSet MyCache = (Last created game cache)
    • -------- --------------- --------
    • Set VariableSet MyGold = (Load Gold of Resources from MyCache)
    • Set VariableSet MyLumber = (Load Lumber of Resources from MyCache)
    • -------- --------------- --------
    • Player - Set Player 1 (Red).Current gold to MyGold
    • Player - Set Player 1 (Red).Current lumber to MyLumber

The thing about actions like these

Is that the "as" and "of" parameters can be anything you want, but they need to be consistent throughout your campaign. Think of it as an sub-item (Gold) you place in a category (Resources) stored in your cache. Then you access it by fetching those items

Again, if I tell the trigger to load "Gold1" or "MyResources", it will return nothing because that's not the proper name I used in the previous map, so you gotta stay organized with your categories
