[General] SaveToDisk

[Arad MNK]

I've seen this in multiple save-load systems, specifically in CodeGen (spell section).

function SaveToDisk takes string msg, string filename returns nothing
    call PreloadGenClear()
    call PreloadGenStart()
    call Preload(msg)
    call PreloadGenEnd(filename)
    call ClearSelection()
endfunction

Isn't preloading for preloading? Then how can I create a text file with preloading? How can I use it?

I cover how to create text files here.
It's a bug, it's not supposed to be for creating files.

So my code is correct?

It is correct, just that you will end up with creating 1 text line only, you would need multiple Preload() for creating more lines.

Oh and for the PreloadGenEnd(), the input should be file path+file name+file extesion type instead of file name only, else your file will just end up creating at war3 folder.

So

call Preload(msg1)
call Preload(msg2)
call Preload(msg3)

would create three lines ?

Yes, the filename string will have it all. Thanks so much!

Yes.
