Saving State [Campaign]

[defskull]

Can you save something (variable) from Map 1 to Map 2 in a campaign ?
For example, I wanna save a boolean variable in a true state and be carried out over to the next map.

Is this possible ?

And if possible, how ?

EDIT:
Something to do with Game Cache is it ?

Yes. Create a gamecache with a specific name, add your data to it, then save it. This will tell wc3 to write the data under the given name and current profile onto your harddisk. The next time you create a gamecache with the same name, it will be populated with the prior data.

I'm currently experimenting the Game Cache and yeah, successfully transfer a variable to a different map

But one thing bugs me, why do I set it to next level, and force Victory, the game ends BUT why does it takes back to Campain-choosing Map Menu ?

I mean, can't the game end and load the next map directly without having to go to the Menu ?

Or am I missing something over here.

Well, how do you address the path of the map inside a campaign? Probably it fails.

Have you added all the maps in your campaign to the campaign editor?
You can only load maps if they are in the campaign editor.

This could definitely help, some more Game Cache explanation to extend (or maybe a longer explanation because I do think WaterKnight covered it up already in a short manner) WaterKnight's explanation: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/game-caches-6273/

there's a GUI function for ending the game and loading another map directly after... check the campaign transitions tutorials on the tut section

Also, if you use JNGP, you might need to use Campaign Builder.
