CBS Game Cache

07-31-2008, 06:41 PM

Hi as some of you know, I am making a bag system called CBS for a campaign.
However, I have a real problem, There is no way of storing items into cache and then having them back in the next chapter !!!

Is there a way for me to store all items of an "Item Array" into the cache and then restore them to the game in the next level of a campaign ??
Toadcop how did you do it man! =P
Plz if you help you all get +rep !!

Captain Griffen	Yes there is. Store the ID and the charges for each inventory slot, or whatever the hell you want.

How do I know if an Item is chargeable ?

Here-b-Trollz	It doesn't matter. If it has 0 charges, then it will get 0 charges. If it has 999, it will get 999.

Flame_Phoenix	If I store the ID, it will be like Creating a new Item, and I will lost the charges of the items ... is there a better way ?

Again, I ask, How do I know if an Item is chargeable (if is not permanent per example) and how many charges it has ?
That Way I will need two variables =S

You don't need to.

So: Setting charges for a non-chargeable item will do nothing. The item will be like before (non-charged). You can simply treat all items as if they were charged. So...

JASS:

native          GetItemCharges  takes item whichItem returns integer
native          SetItemCharges  takes item whichItem, integer charges returns nothing

Toadcop	in my case i simply save cache to harddrive and thats it =) and you have unique ID for anything between any map... it's like own scope for campaign.
