New to Editor

[DevilShiBata]

Hello all, i am new to editing and have come to a problem i dont know or understand how to fix. in the Editor mode everything works fine but once i host the game online to see if everything still works i run into the problem with items not saving to heros. i have spent the last 2days trying to find a solution to this problem but either i really dont understand the codeing/gui/jass stuff or im just completely boned, if anyone is willing to try and help me out here that would be much appreciated thank you in advance

Hello, so as of right now we can only guess what the issue is because "items not saving to heros" could mean a lot of different things, for example:

1. You're using Game Cache to try and save Items like what's used in the Campaign missions.
2. You're using a custom Save and Load system like the kind you'd find in the more advanced RPG maps (seems unlikely but again we don't know).
3. You're referring to something entirely different like the Save Game feature or the 'Item's Carried' presets.

Forgive me for the lecture, I only say this to get the idea across that a term like "saving" can mean many different things and that we can only really guess without more information. In this case the best way to give us more information is to provide us with your triggers:

hopefully this is what u meant, im not very good at this stuff

Okay, so it looks like you're using a custom Save and Load system (#2). Could you link the system you're using please? This looks like an older one.

Also, it looks like there's another trigger involved called Auto Settings:

• Trigger - Add to Auto Settings <gen> the event (Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds)

I imagine there's even more triggers than that, it helps to see everything involved.

Some random notes:

• Set VariableSet SL_CRC_LEN = 2

^ It said the default was 4, I would try that value instead of 2.

Save-Load codes 1.24 this is the once i found and have been using

yea the Auto setting trigger seems to work with Jass system i believe, im not at all familiar with it, i have been trying to dive into it and understand all of it XD but my brain goes straight mush at that point, but im definitely tryn to learn it and understand it

I updated my last post with something I noticed that could be the issue.

And the Auto Setting trigger is just for setting up the system, you don't have to mess with it as far as I understand.

Another possible issue is that you're missing the Header code although I imagine you'd have gotten errors:

Make sure that you've copied everything needed into your map.

Anyway, I don't see any other issues in the map, but note that this system was marked as obsolete by the reviewers. I would make sure to read the reviews first before downloading anything.

yea i did the header copy that it instructed to do, everything that i have changed works fine in the World editor, but doesnt once i host the current version i have built at the moment, is there a way to share the map im working on if that would make it easier to help with this?

There's an 'Attach files' button right below your post, but maybe you don't see it since your account is new.

There's also a Pastebin feature for sharing files, it's under the Utility button found at the top of the site.

I need to go afk soon so sorry if I don't respond anymore.

 

[DevilShiBata]

i see the Attach files button, learning new things XD i dont normally go onto forms for help normally just give up if i cant figure it out but i have been putting alot of work into this by myself so i dont wanna toss the towel in this time XD @Uncle

No worries i appreciate all the help, iv seen ur name all over so i know im in good hands XD get back to me when ever u can i really appreciate it again

 

[DevilShiBata]

i figured out the problem, so if someone wants to close this delete it by all means do what must be done

Assuming it was related to the system, could you please explain what you did to fix the problem. These threads exist to help others with the same problems.

ah of course, and it was due to the save file constantly updateing due to having the Set VariableSet SL_SAVE_SMART_LV = True once i turned it to false the characters started loading with the items they had once the save file had been generated allowing the player to come back to the game at a later date and loading all of their progress including the items. which is what i was aiming for =D
