[Trigger] Loading Multiple Maps

[somedood]

Was wondering if anyone had some information on changing maps instantly while in game. A good example of this is the FT orc campaign, where a different map loads when Rexxar enters a cave. I know my triggers well, but struggle with hashtables and saving/loading codes. I want to be able to enter a region on one map and have the game immediately enter a loading screen to jump to another map, transferring my hero. I want to be able to do this without going back to the campaign menu everytime I load a new map. I also want to return to previous maps in the same fashion. Like I said, any advice is appreciated, WC3 might be outdated, but still fun to make custom maps!

It doesn't change instantly of map ?
I remember a loading time.

^yes there is a loading time :X

I think what he means is that there is no score screen like when you end up a normal melee map.

In TFT orc campaign it's like this: Durotar -> other maps (echo isles, mine, canyon, etc.) and no score screen is shown when changing to these maps.
Other campaigns: You end one map -> score screen -> next map

 

[Malhorne]

Ah yes.
Ok i'll search the triggers that feet.
Let me finish my dish x)

I think it's this:

• Actions
  • Game - Set the next level to Your_Map
  • Game - Victory Player 1 (Red) (Skip dialogs, Skip scores)

and maybe some Game Caches.

 

[Malhorne]

Yes it is this
Nice job there !
You have to do some game cache job yes, it works as if you setting a next level. And you have to save the progression of the previous map too if you want to come back there.

so is this solved?

 

[Malhorne]

Somehow

Ahh so it's that easy ehh? Thanks fellas! Now how do I transfer my hero across the maps? Along with all other jass-related equipment systems and what-not? If I assign the hero to a variable, could I use the hashtable to save/load him to the other map?

 

[Malhorne]

Don't dude
We got everytime so bad reasonment

That's what Game Cache is for - it can save units, reals, integers and booleans, but probably all code (every trigger) will have to be copied manually from map to map beforehand.

Look in the "Game Cache" list in the trigger action menu.

There is a tutorial for Map Transition here... or you can open up the Durotar campaign and see how it's done...

There are actually two, but I'll just link the latest one: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/transitions-campaigns-guide-219660/

this one is older but is easier to understand than that above if you ask me (because it's more of teaching the basics)
