game cache

any1 know what these functions do?

SyncStoredInteger takes cache, string, string, returns nothing
ReloadGameCachesFromDisk takes nothing returns nothing

i didn't give var names to the data types. i just included the data types to give the basic gist. thanks.

sorry to barrage with game cache questions but here are some more. first though some discoveries:

for the strings in game cache u cannot have spaces. it will not automatically underscore for u. although, player name seems to work fine...

what i know for certain is that u cannot store ne thing in a string using UnitName. you'll need to use a "convert unit id to string" function.

Now for questions

1) wer exactly is the game cache. wer does warcraft store this info?

2) is there a limit to how much can be stored here?

3) How should i title my game cache? i want it so that someone can start a new campaign w/o running over their old one. right now i'm using playername().w3v.

4) when would u need/want to clear an entire cache?

thanks for ne info.

1) As files on the disk in the profile directories. So you have a different game cache if you play with a different profile.

easy enough. thanks aiandy

Shouldn't the trigger code below be enough to create and store a game cache in WarCraft III\save\someProfile?
The code is run directly at map initialization, but it doesn't create any file named gameworld.w3v which I can find anywhere on my harddrive.

I would be happy for any idea that helps me find what could be wrong in my script.

The name you give to the game cache has no matter.
He will always store it in the file save\Profile1\Campaigns.w3v in you war3 directory.
