Global gamecache ruining the spell?

05-25-2007, 06:34 AM

Hello, I have a quick question, why when using KaTTaNa's local handle system this works:

JASS:

function LocalVars takes nothing returns gamecache
    return InitGameCache("jasslocalvars.w3v")
endfunction

while this doesn't and ruins the whole spell:

JASS:

function LocalVars takes nothing returns gamecache
    return udg_FearGameCache
endfunction

It is the only thing that I changed that caused this not to work why??

Thanks

grim001	You need to create a gamecache in that global var on map init

IKilledKenny	I created a variable in the variable editor called like that... Should I do anything else? I thought create the variable was enough?

Jazradel	You actually need to create the variable. Something like: set udg_FearGameCache = InitGameCache("jasslocalvars.w3v") Should do it.

IKilledKenny	Like this? JASS: function LocalVars takes nothing returns gamecache set udg_FearGameCache = InitGameCache("jasslocalvars.w3v") return udg_FearGameCache endfunction

Anitarf	No, you should do it in an initialization function, not every time you call LocalVars.

Silvenon	Yeah, make a trigger that fires on map initialization and put set udg_FearGameCache = InitGameCache("jasslocalvars.w3v") in it
