I think you just press ESC or something, or type -save, and you copy the code for next time.

I believe he means how do you make it in a map. Its really not hard to do at all. It just required a bunch of loops, string arrays, lots of variables, and lots and lots of concatenated strings... well... thats how I did it.

But he's saying you're using cookies. How would you do that?

He's probably confusing it with "Internet Cookies"

I believe it has to do with the "Game Cache" triggers.

No. It's multi-player. Game Cache doesn't work in multi-player. I'm pretty sure they use a save code.

Yup, they use codes, don't how to make them though...

I just told everyone. It doesnt use game cache and it doesnt use "cookies". Okay, I'll explain more. When you have the player type -save or however else you want them to save their hero, you set a bunch of variables to the attributes of the hero, the gold the player has, and whatever else you want to save. You could also convert the numbers to letter (a=1, g=2, d=3) and so on to make it harder to break. Then, you display the whole code as one line (or if it is too big, you save it as multiple lines. When the player wants to restore their hero in another game, they will type in the code and you will have the triggers decode the code and create a new unit which is their hero and give it the values of the attributes and the gold and whatever else you decided to save from their code. As I said, not really that hard (in my opinion).

Exactly, that's what I thought. But who told you it used cookies?

I dont think he knows entirely what he is talking about when he said "cookies".

Why wouldn't you use that new Save hero Program?
