Save Load Map

[Nazujin]

Hello,
Anyone have a save / load code or map with that code implemented that works for MULTIplayer to save MULTIPLE units?
i already tryed codeless save load... its not what i want...
i need something like monster master code...
Thanks

 

[Uncle]

What does saving multiple units mean? Saving their positions? Levels? Please be more specific.

And codeless save and load can save anything you want.

I attached a map that uses the codeless Save and Load system. I modified it to remove most of the unwanted features.

Press Escape to spawn a random unit from either a Footman, Rifleman, or Knight.

Type -save to save these units. Type -load to load these units.

To properly test it out, spawn a bunch of units using Escape and then type -save. Then restart the map and type -load and you'll get the same units from the previous game. This should work on bnet as well.

Note that the Save and Load system can only save/load Integer values, but with clever use of variables/triggers you can save any type of data you want.

 

[Nazujin]

well what i need is... save a bunch of heroes (7 heroes in total)
1 hero, exp, 4 items
6 others heroes, exp 2 items each
gold and lumber
dont need to save position of the heroes
because when you load them, 6 will go to a player area (player 1 - area 1) (player 2 - area 2) and so on
and the last thing i need is the code to be saved in the player warcraft folder
also i need the code to work in multiplayer...
Could you help me with that, please?

 

[Uncle]

I hope you can open this map.

I added everything you listed. Although, I only setup the variables for Player 1 and Player 2.

Look through all of my triggers, see what I did for Player 1 and Player 2, and repeat what I was doing but for the rest of the Players.

You'll have to add the other Players to these triggers:
Set TempHeroes Save
Set TempHeroes Load

And you'll have to modify this trigger, adding variables for all of your Hero Unit-Types and Item-Types as well as keeping track of each Player's Heroes (from 1 to 7):
Setup Save Variables

There's instructions in the triggers, hopefully it's not too confusing.

You should definitely try to learn how to use the system yourself. Look at how I save/load Gold and Lumber since those are lot less complicated than the Heroes. You don't need a deep understanding of how it works in order to use it.

 

[Nazujin]

I tested that in single player, it is working!! i have now to test with multiplayer...
but thank you a lot!
one last question, this system can save hidden skills? like attribute bonus level?

 

[Uncle]

Do you want to save each of the Heroes skills? Like Paladin's Holy Light, Divine Shield, Devotion Aura, etc...? Or just a few hidden skills?

Regardless, it can save just about anything since Integers can be used to represent other types of data. Skills are a bit tricky though.

It would work similar to how I was saving Item-Types. You need to store each Skill that you want to save in an Ability Array.

Set Setup_Total_Skills = X
Set Setup_Skill[1] = Attribute Bonus
Set Setup_Skill[2] = ...
etc...

Then save the Number of skills your Hero has, save the Index [] for each of these skills, and save the Level for each of these skills.

 

[Nazujin]

Well i want to save 3 hidden attribute bonus level (for str only, agility only and int only), so 3 integers!
Every hero will have the 3, it will work just like the IV from pokemon... its a random number between 1 and 15... basically i save that hidden "level" and load that level, dont need to save the skill...
I will try something that i used in the other save load i was working... and see if it works...

 

[Uncle]

Ah, that makes life a lot easier. I can add that to the example map very quickly.

 

[Uncle]

Here you go. Remember to configure Setup Save Variables to work for your map since it will use different Heroes/Abilities/etc...

 

[Nazujin]

thank you a lot!! i will try that right now!

 

[Nazujin]

well... something is wrong... it doesn't create the map folder anymore, neither the load works...
could you take a look for me?
i will send you my map :X

 

[Uncle]

Alright, I fixed it.

I may have undone some of your work (apologies in advance) but you should be able to copy and paste the missing stuff into this new version.

Some fixes:
-I added my PlayerX_Heroes variables to your New Trainer / Buy Monster triggers.
-I added a new variable, Player_TotalHeroes which keeps track of how many Heroes you have.
-This one is IMPORTANT, I edited the Aerial Shackles ability, do NOT change this ability! You can copy and paste it and create new abilities based on it but don't change the original! The Save and Load system uses this ability.

Keep in mind you never added the 3 Starter Monsters to Setup Save Variables. So make sure to add the 3 starters and then you can test it properly.

It will break if you try to Save anything that isn't added to the variables.

Edit:
Uploaded v2. See if this one works.

 

[Nazujin]

what do you mean?
in the setup save variable trigger, have only that :
set variableset player region...

 

[Uncle]

Re-uploaded it. I think this version (2) should work properly.

And I had a bunch of variables like this:

• Set VariableSet Player1_Heroes[1] = Paladin 0001 <gen>

But it shouldn't be an issue now.

 

[Nazujin]

-I added a new variable, Player_TotalHeroes which keeps track of how many Heroes you have.

well i have already a variable to see that... but doesnot mind.

-This one is IMPORTANT, I edited the Aerial Shackles ability, do NOT change this ability! You can copy and paste it and create new abilities based on it but don't change the original! The Save and Load system uses this ability.

humm

Keep in mind you never added the 3 Starter Monsters to Setup Save Variables. So make sure to add the 3 starters and then you can test it properly.

they are all set... :X

I don't see their names but maybe I'm just not seeing properly. And unless you edit the system to use YOUR variables you'll have to use the variables I provided, otherwise how will the system know.

Edit: Oh I see now, I was looking for Paladin in the starter name since that's what it says ingame.

[Uncle]

Have you tried the new version out, lol. None of this stuff matters anymore if it works

 

[Nazujin]

ok i will try this now

 

[Nazujin]

well it loaded other stuff... :X
i will take a look at the triggers and see why its loading the trainer at the "monsters" region
and loaded another monster...
idk why its not working :/

 

[Uncle]

I added Trainer to the variables. Figured you want to load that as well.

You'll have to tweak some of the triggers if you don't want to save the Trainer.

I set it so Trainer is ALWAYS Player_Hero[1] and the Monsters are [2]+

You'll need to remove the Player_Hero stuff from the Trainer trigger and adjust the Player_Hero stuff in the Monster trigger. You should see something like Player_Hero[MonsterCount+1]. Remove the arithmetic (+1) from it.

 

[Nazujin]

doesnot matter the postion of the trainer in your array...
but the monsters matter in my arrays for the summon skills
well the load is still not working... :X

 

[Uncle]

Then you're doing something wrong. It was 100% working when I tested it.

All of the variables need to be setup correctly or it won't work.

 

[Nazujin]

what is the last version that you send? .3?
I'm a little lost...

 

[Uncle]

Try this version (v3).

I removed the Trainer from the saved list of Player_Heroes. Test it out before you try to make any changes just to see if it works first.

I tested it with 3 starters and it saved everything properly.

 

[Nazujin]

well i tested with blue... and everytime i try to save and load a different character... it bugs, loads something else... maybe is something with my wacraft?
o.o

 

[Uncle]

I never tested it on other players, so it's possible that there's some messed up variable for p2. I'll test it out.

Edit:
Tested it in a private game on bnet as Player 2. It saved and loaded the Trent Hero properly.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work for you Unless you're trying to save stuff that hasn't been added to the variables.

 

[Nazujin]

i tested right now as player red... and doesnot work... lets try both at the same map?
Nazujin#11707 my ID at bnet!
want to try?

 

[Uncle]

It works for me doing this:

1) Type -new
2) Pick a Hero (Monster)
3) Type -save
4) Type -load

And it loads the picked Hero with the proper stats and everything.

 

[Uncle]

Sure, what Region are you on? I'm on Americas.

 

[Nazujin]

i do exactly that... and load something else... every damm time... for every player... wtf? wacraft bug?
me either, in americas

 

[Uncle]

Alright, here's what I added:

-Saves Tamer now (Exp + Items)
-Saves Tamer's Item Charges (Needed for the charges on his items - Not sure if Monsters use Item Charges so I didn't add this feature for them)
-Can only load once a game
-Made sure all Evolve forms were saved to the system and all caught Monsters (Didn't test but it should work)

So as of right now it works.

You can save whenever you want as many times as you want, but you can only load once a game. Players could just load over and over again and generate infinite items so it makes sense to have strict limitations on this.

 

[Nazujin]

Well the save and load seens to work... but i cant set the monsterlist for the player right...
so i cant summon any monster... :X
need to find where in your trigger it really set the monsters and set that to the monster list like this :


If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
SaveLoadEvent_Player Equal to Player 3 (Teal)
Then - Actions
Set VariableSet MonsterListPlayer3[Integer] = Temp_Heroes[(Integer A)]
Else - Actions

i did others minor changes to the map too, to fix the load, it was just loading 1 hero, now it is loading everyone alright...
just need to fix the right place to set this condition to summon the monsters and i think we are done!

 

[Uncle]

The issue was the Index you were using:
MonsterListPlayer3[Integer]

Integer is equal to a number between 1 and Setup_Total_UnitTypes (42 as of right now)

That's why when I create the Unit i'm creating Setup_UnitType[Integer].

ReverseLoop is the index you wanted to use: MonsterListPlayer3[ReverseLoop]. This is a number between 1 and 6 (total Monsters possible).

 

[Uncle]

Hmm, ran into some bugs after testing.

Edit: Think I found the issue.

Try this version out (v6). I'm not sure if I fixed the bug but it SEEMS to work under the correct conditions. I properly saved and loaded multiple times with 3 Monsters and different sets of Items.

 

[Nazujin]

Well almost everything working... one last problem when i load and capture a new monster, it replace the last loaded monster... example
i have 4 monsters loaded, if i capture a new one it replace the 4th
so the array monster list counter or something is not counting +1...

 

[Uncle]

Weird, I'm testing it again and have 6 monsters saving and loading properly.

I made a trigger like this:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: ============
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: (Total Monsters: + (String(Player_TotalHeroes[1])))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to Player_TotalHeroes[1], do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: ((Proper name of Player1_Heroes[(Integer A)]) + ( - Level: + (String((Hero level of Player1_Heroes[(Integer A)])))))
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: ============

It displays my Total Monsters and the names of Monsters 1 to 6 at all times. Everything seems to be working fine, the variables all change accordingly.

Did you release any of your Monsters? Because that would definitely cause some problems.

For example:
1) You have 6 Monsters and you release Monster[1]
2) MonsterCounter gets reduced from 6 to 5
3) When you capture a new 6th Monster it will be set as Monster[6] REPLACING your previous Monster[6], when you really needed it to replace Monster[1]

 

[Nazujin]

what i did was:
- start a game capture 4 monsters, save
- start a new game, load my monsters
- capture a new monster,
- then my 4th monster get overwrite...

 

[Uncle]

Alright, here is version 8. I tested it and it seems to work great. I can't find any bugs but there's bound to be 1 or 2 hidden away somewhere.

What I did:
I went through all of the triggers and cleaned them up.
I removed the majority of the leaks.
I fixed a lot of bugs.
I deleted most of the unused triggers/variables.
I modified the Evolution system to make it cleaner using Arrays.

Note that the Save+Load setup trigger is still missing some Monsters (it only has 42 right now).

Another thing, I recommend adjusting the Experience system to use much smaller numbers.

Right now it takes 200 Exp to get to level 2 but I think it should be more like 20 Exp instead.

This will help prevent you from going over the limit in what you can Save.

 

[Nazujin]

Nice idea, i will do that to readjust the exp table, first need to do the math at excell!!
well i tested and:
- the summon was bugged, i could summon more than 3 monsters...
- it is not returning the monsters (both return skills not working)...
- and when i start a new game the first monster is not set in the variable, the 2nd monster i catched worked fine...
what i did
- started a new game,
- played a little
- loaded my code

i'm looking right now at the code to see if i can fix it.
maybe this is bugging in (Summon monster cancel)

tryed again...
started a new game, and again the summon did not worked...

If - Conditions
MonsterOutsideBall[PN] Less than 3

it shoul be greater or equal to 3 no?

 

[Uncle]

No, it should be less than 3. I think I forgot to add a "Stop" order to the Else, that's what's needed to cancel the ability.

I'll test the return stuff, it was all working last I tried.

Edit: Found the bugs. When typing -new I wasn't resetting any of the important variables like MonsterCount and clearing the MonsterList. This was definitely the problem.

Try this v.9. I'm fairly confident this should work!

 

[Uncle]

Also, I noticed in your Catch Monster trigger you have this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • KindofPokeballused Equal to Pokeball
  • Then - Actions
    • Set VariableSet CaptureChanceTotal = (CaptureChanceTotal + 0.15)
  • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • KindofPokeballused Equal to Greatball
      • Then - Actions
        • Set VariableSet CaptureChanceTotal = (CaptureChanceTotal + 0.21)
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • KindofPokeballused Equal to Ultraball
          • Then - Actions
            • Set VariableSet CaptureChanceTotal = (CaptureChanceTotal + 0.28)
          • Else - Actions

But it's not being used since KindofPokeballused is never set nor is Pokeball/Greatball/Ultraball. Do you want me to add this to the system?

 

[Nazujin]

sure!
latter i will have to clean some stuff at the catch monster... and add more some stuff...
^^

 

[Uncle]

Alright, here's v.10. I continued to fix things up.

What I added:
1) You can no longer summon Monsters indoors (I figured since you can't bring them indoors you shouldn't be able to summon them indoors as well).
2) If you try to use an ability like Release Monster, Return All Monsters, Summon Monster, and it fails, the ability doesn't go on cooldown.
3) I made the Catch Monster trigger use the Monster Rarity/Catchball variables that you had. Not sure how this will affect things since it was working without them. You'll probably want to take a hard look at this. Note that I only have the Catchball, Great Catchball, and Ultra Catchball added at the moment.
4) I cleaned up some more leaks and small bugs.

Feel free to change this stuff, it's your map after all! I can revert the changes back for you, of course.

Hopefully everything works and I can leave the rest to you

 

[Nazujin]

Hey dude my notebook is back!! sorry for the late answer!
well i tested it and well the load doesnot worked...
the other things seens to work
i had 4 monsters
kenas, redsky, lorvi and a fearven...
when i loaded, i got many items, others monsters... wtf
im taking a look at the code right now..

 

[Uncle]

Did you add all of those Monsters to the Save Load system? I know you only had 42 added and there's way more than 42.

 

[Nazujin]

here it is

 

[Uncle]

fixed

 

[Uncle]

Alright, I fixed these:
-Fix insect quest
-Fix Release monster
-Glow for monsters
-Add Player leave trigger
-Remove monster dying message

Didn't fix:

[Uncle]

-Fixed Insect Quest (again)
-Evolutions should be fixed
