i've tried looking for a tutorial on making gamecace thingies but i couldnt find one. I just want to know how should i store and save units and how should i recall them?

Basically what i have is i want it to store a blood mage so i do store unit named blood under the catagory of unit in last created gamecace and in the next level i have it restore all data from disc, i also have it preload everything and then i do restore unit from blood in catagory of unit , but it doesnt work, so if you can direct me to some links or just tell me how you do it right that will help

I didnt find a game cache tutorial in the tutorials section either, but I'll tell you how it works.

The first thing you have to do is create a game cache. You need to use another map as for ur game cache, so make a blank map and save it as wutever you want. On the map tat you want to save ur hero on create a blank gamecache variable. Then use these trigger actions to make ur game cache.

Game Cache - Create a game cache from "map name of cache.w3m"
Set GameCacheVariable = (Last created game cache)

To save your hero use this

Game Cache - Store "the unit u want to store" as "label" of "category" in GameCacheVariable

the label and category are string values tat u can set to wutever u want. It doesnt matter.

To restore ur hero, use the game cache- restore unit

If u need more help, then pm me
