Xeth-Ban	in the first act in the orc bonus campaign you can go into a mine and some other caves but how do you trigger it so you can go into caves and back again

I'm confused about what exactly you mean. To get back from the caves - such as the one filled with Kobolds - you simply walk back over the lights. (I'm relatively certain there are lights there...) To return to the caves again, you just re-enter the cave as you did the first time. Is this what you mean?

You will need to use the below trigger. Here is brief explanation of what the parts are:

Region - The region used to trigger the map change
Map Name - The name of your map (leave the .w3v)
Player - The player you want to be able to move between maps
Category - Put in a name
Label - Put in name
Maps\MapName.w3m - Set to the other map (Make sure it's in the Maps folder)

Code:

Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters [u][color=Blue]Region[/color][/u]
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to [u][color=Blue]Player[/color][/u]
            Then - Actions
                Game Cache - Create a game cache from [u][color=Blue]MapName[/color][/u].w3v
                Game Cache - Store (Triggering unit) as [u][color=Blue]Label[/color][/u] of [u][color=Blue]Category[/color][/u] in (Last created game cache)
                Game Cache - Save (Last created game cache)
                Game - Set the next level to [u][color=Blue]Maps\MapName.w3m[/color][/u]
                Game - Victory [u][color=Blue]Player[/color][/u] (Skip dialogs, Skip scores)
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

This will save the Hero and load the next level. For the beginning of the next level, you need to run this trigger:

Code:

Trigger002
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Game Cache - Create a game cache from [u][color=Blue]MapName[/color][/u].w3v
        Game Cache - Restore [u][color=Blue]Label[/color][/u] of [u][color=Blue]Category[/color][/u] from (Last created game cache) for [u][color=Blue]Player[/color][/u] at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 0.00

Note: You need to make sure that Label, Category, and Map name are the same things as in the ast trigger.
