I know its a program... but tell me if this will work also:
Ok, i think i figured out how those save/load heros works... tell me if im right. When u type -save it converts the real values of the agility, hero lvl, experience, strength, ect and converts then to integers. Then it displays the load command to type. So when u type the command ur actually just typing each of the stats all together. Then when u load it just puts all that data back into a hero. I wanna use this 4 my map and i wanna make sure this is all right. is it?

1 more thing, i think this will work, the only part that would b hard is to break apart the string into seperate integers, is there a way 2 take like the first 3 numbers and save them 2 a variable then the next 2 and so on?

Yeah, you've got it. If you need some frame of reference you can check my tutorial, but I highly reccommend doing it yourself simply because you get more triggering experiance that way.

In that way you could be able to type: "-load xxx-xxx-xxx" and you could get any stats you want

Ack! A thread reviver! Well, almost. Anyway, yes, that is true, that is why you need a checksum which will check to see if digits are in the right place.
