Save/Load Questions

Evil_Redneck · Jun 5, 2010

I have imported a Save/Load sytem into my map and have stumbled upon several questions and problems.

The Trigger i have used was made only for player 1 (red).

Here's the trigger:

Save Integer Variable
- Events
  - Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
- Conditions
- Actions
  - -------- ------ Random (XXX) ------ --------
  - Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for (All players)
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - ((Triggering player) slot status) Equal to Is playing
    - Then - Actions
      - Set Random_Numbers1 = (Random integer number between 1 and 12)
      - Set Save_SavingCode = Save_X[Random_Numbers1]

    - Else - Actions
      - Do nothing
  - Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) for 240.00 seconds the text: Save_SavingCode

The code saves an Integer, which i will be making into saving gold.
The problem is, the IntegerValue is just for player red, correct?

I tried adding an array to the IntegerValue and changed all of the places where the IntegerValue used to be with Integer Value [Player Number of (Trigering Player)], but when I save, it only gives me two letters - vE, which will not load anything.

My question is, will all players be able to use the IntegerValue, WITHOUT an array?

A couple of other things that might help, basically the map is a team game, and there are quests. A reward for the quest gives players a certain ammount of renown (gold) that they will be able to load in later sessions. When the quest is completed the IntegerValue would need to be increased by +2.

If I'm correct, then the IntegerValue would be the same for all players in this format, and if an array didnt work, what would I need to do?

So what am I missing?

Here's my edited trigger with the array that just saved two letters:

why use an array? the trigger is supposed to work for only 1 player per -load usage (only for the player that uses -load)... anyway I think your problem is in this system's custom script...

Evil_Redneck · Jun 6, 2010

I wanted to use an array because you can set it to represent each person.

When a player types load I thought it would load the same integer as everyone else, but I may be wrong, ill try to leave it alone to see what happens

Use a better system?

I dont think it will load the same values for each player because every code is unique and -load only loads the code for the player that used -load...

Why there are too much Do Nothing actions? Don't you know they leak, I don't know why Blizzard made that damn function and since it doesn't execute any actions though....
