Saved game won't load

[Erkki2]

I'm making a campaign, which consists of many linked maps (like in tft orc campaign). Everything else works correctly, but I can't load a saved game. Here's a trigger:

• Transition
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPath1 = ((SaveFolder + \) + Map1.w3z)
    • Set TempPath2 = ((SaveFolder + \) + (TransitionTarget + .w3z))
    • Wait 0.50 seconds
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (The TempPath2 saved-game exists) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Save game as TempPath1 and load TempPath2 (Skip scores)
      • Else - Actions
        • Game - Save game as TempPath1 and change level to (TransitionTarget + .w3x) (Skip scores)

The trigger creates save files where it should, but for some reason, those files can't be loaded. In other words, transition works correctly if target map hasn't been visited before, but if it has, then wc3 goes back to the campaign screen. What could cause this problem?

clearly its a problem with the path... is this inside a campaign?

I actually don't suggest using the Save and Load...

just use this:

• Game - Save game as TempPath1 and change level to (TransitionTarget + .w3x) (Skip scores)

and use the game cache to save and load the data...

its better that way...

Thanks for your reply. It looks like a path error, but how is that possible? When player leaves from map, it makes a save file Map1.w3z to Warcraft\save\Profile1\CustomSaves\CampaignName\SaveFolder and TransitionTarget is set to "Map2". So it starts Map 2. But when returning back to map 1, (TransitionTarget = Map1), it doesn't load Map1.w3z.

not sure... there might be an accidental space or maybe the file name is too long, max is 43 chars starting from the Campaign name
CampaignName\SaveFolder\Map1.w3z

just follow my suggestion... its actually better... though it needs more actions...

 

[Erkki2]

Thanks! I made the campaign name shorter and now it works.

I still suggest that you don't save the maps... and just use the game cache to transfer data...

because saving the map can lead to problems and harder configuration...

+I think its easier for your comp if the map is always reset...
