Map swirch

[DeCazz]

In the orc cam in frozen thronebwith rexxar, there was a cool thing they did, when you entered a small area you where teleported to another map. How can i do like they did

 

[Xerxes]

Just set the next level

• Game - Set Next Level to...

then just end the current map using

• Game - Victory for Player 1 (Red) Hide Dialogs Hide Scores

and do the same thing for the other map.

The events are Unit - Unit Enters Region.

But remember that

• Game - Set Next Level to...

must be linked to the other map, like so:
For Map 1

• Game - Set Next Level to Map 2

then for Map 2 use

• Game - Set Next Level to Map 1

. Are you getting my flow? So the whole Trigger would be:

• Map 1
• Events
  • Unit - A Unit enters Map 2 Enter
• Conditions
• Actions
  • [Game - Set Next Level to Map 2
  • Game - Victory for Player 1 (Red) Hide Dialogs Hide Scores

Then for Map 2:

• Map
• Events
  • Unit - A Unit enters Map 1 Enter
• Conditions
• Actions
  • [Game - Set Next Level to Map 1
  • Game - Victory for Player 1 (Red) Hide Dialogs Hide Scores

But only use this method in a campaign.

And then as Zwiebelchen said below in the post below, use Game Chache to transfer the data (v below post v)

You need to make multiple maps, connecting them via a campaign.
Then you can use game cache to transfer data between the individual maps of the campaign.

This only works in single player.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

No what he means is the scene when Rexxar enters a cavern then he gets teleported to another map, completely different terrain, creeps, etc.

And what exactly makes you think I didn't understand him correctly? Oo

 

[Xerxes]

You know what? I meant to say you're right. (Damn auto-correct again)

Seriously; now that I read your post over and over again, I now understand that my post is rendered irrelevant. I'm deleting it.

 

[DeCazz]

While we are on the subject, do you now how to make a respawn point for one players hero att at region.
When i try all hero seems to spawn there when they die

 

[Xerxes]

• Hero Respawn
• Event
  • Unit - A Unit owned by Player 1 (Red) dies
• Conditions
  • (Triggering Unit) is a Hero Equal to True
• Actions:
  • Set Point = Center of Region
  • Set Hero = Triggering Unit
  • Hero - Revive Hero at Point show revival graphics
  • Custom Script = call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)

Kind of like this.

 

[Binsu]

• Hero Respawn
• Event
  • Unit - A Unit dies
• Conditions
  • (Triggering Unit) is a Hero Equal to True
• Actions:
  • Set Point = Center of Region
  • Set Hero = Triggering Unit
  • Hero - Revive Hero at Point show revival graphics
  • Custom Script = call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)

Kind of like this.

I think what he mean is only for one player. Each players has different spawn location... maybe.

 

[Xerxes]

^ Then just change the event. (Edited my previous post)

 

[Binsu]

^ Then just change the event. (Edited my previous post)

Better ^_^

The travel beetween maps dont worl for me, could neef a bigger tutorial on how to do.
What i want. And also sorry for my bad english
1, to travel beetween maps like in the rexxar orc campaign(from like a big map to a dungon and then back when a enter a small area)
2. I want the hero i'm useing to travel with me on the maps,
3. When i revisit a map i want it to be like when i left from there.(like save the map not end it)

 

[Xerxes]

Use what we told you in the above triggers to go from map to map (Game - Set Next Level to....)

Yeah we already told you use a game-cache to transfer the hero between the maps.

There are lots of tutorials here on the Hive covering this.

 

[DeCazz]

Well i have never used cache so i need more detail on it

 

[Xerxes]

Check out this tutorial:
Game Caches

 

[Veritas 117]

I'm using something like that in my campaign. It can be complicated, but I've got it working between two maps perfectly (I will add more later)

First you need an initialization trigger that detects if this is the first time you have loaded this map

Note: I am using all of the variables from my map so the names might be a little strange, I don't have time to go through and change them all.

Initialization

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game Cache - Create a game cache from LA_Cache.w3v
    • Set Cache_LA_cache = (Last created game cache)
    • Set Cache_LoadingFrom[1] = From Dillianhor <gen>
    • Set Cache_CallienthNewGame = False
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Trigger - Run Load <gen> (ignoring conditions)

We also need a trigger for subsequent starts that loads everything from the game cache

Subsequent Starts

• Subsequent Starts
  • Events
    • Game - A saved game is loaded
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game Cache - Create a game cache from LA_Cache.w3v
    • Set Cache_LA_cache = (Last created game cache)
    • Trigger - Run Load <gen> (ignoring conditions)

The load spell loads everything that you store in the Game Cache. This includes storing which map you came from. I also store the hero's level, xp, weapons, and a few custom stats.

Load

  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game Cache - Reload all game cache data from disk
    • Set Cache_LeftFromMap = (Load LeftFromMap of Variables from Cache_LA_cache)

    • Unit - Set mana of Lithion_Hero to 100.00%
    • Hero - Set Lithion_Hero experience to (Load LithionXP of Units from Cache_LA_cache), Hide level-up graphics
    • Hero - Set Lithion_Hero Hero-level to (Load LithionLevel of Units from Cache_LA_cache), Hide level-up graphics
    • If ((Load LithionLeftWeapon of Units from Cache_LA_cache) Equal to (==) 1) then do (Unit - Add Attachment (Shortsword Left) (Lithion 1) to Lithion_Hero) else do (Do nothing)

As far as actually storing stuff you just need a trigger for when a hero enters a region and save everything you will later load. This trigger also loads the next map.

Go to map and store stuff

    • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to (==) LeaveMap_Yes

For each map you will have to copy these triggers and change the things that are different like which map you are going to and coming from. Play around with it a little and you'll get it. Good luck!

I am not sure if you already noticed this but:

But only use this method in a campaign.

This is incorrect. Works outside of campaign as well if you keep both maps in the same directory. But it may be a bit hard if you wish to publish your map. However can be used for testing purposes.

Sure. Whatever works with you.
