Is there any way to write/read a simple text file from warcraft 3? I'm assuming not, but if anyone has any ideas that would be great. |

What exactly do you mean write/read a simple text file? Do you mean display it as dialog in the world editor? If not, what are you writing it for? Little more information please. |

You can read and write from game cache using triggers. As far as I know, that's the only way to externalize digital information from Warcraft 3. |

Well it would work just the same as the current password generating system that's going around except it would write it to a file on the person's computer and then read it when they load. Although now that I think about it seems rather impossible unless you run a seperate program that runs while the map is open (in which case the reading/writing would actually be the easy part and finding out how to get the information from warcraft3 would be impossible for my level of programming experience). |
