Is there a way to make a custom save trigger?

Hi experienced jassers.I making a map etc...and when my hero acquire a save spot it activate a dialog menu where it ask if you want to save your progression as see in the picture below :

I've made a jass trigger when you click the "Save" button but it don't work :

JASS:

//===========================================================================
// Trigger: Save Yes
//===========================================================================
function Trig_Save_Yes_Func001C takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetClickedButtonBJ() == udg_SaveMenu_yes ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Save_Yes_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    if ( Trig_Save_Yes_Func001C() ) then
        call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), "TRIGSTR_1910" )
        call SaveGame( "WoGAutosave.w3z" )
        else
    endif
    call DialogDisplayBJ( false, udg_SaveMenu, Player(0) )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Save_Yes takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Save_Yes = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterDialogEventBJ( gg_trg_Save_Yes, udg_SaveMenu )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Save_Yes, function Trig_Save_Yes_Actions )
endfunction

//===========================================================================

I think it's the

JASS:

call SaveGame( "WoGAutosave.w3z" )

that doesn't work.
And it doesn't even display the text message.
But did you know another way to make it or it's simply impossible?

Btw i know what you wonder "Why not using the F10 menu and save?"
And 'ill answer because when you play a campaign you usualy forgot to save your progression.And player don't know when they will meet a "BOSS elite level 100" so there is save spot to make the player save before being pwnd.

TheSecretArts	as far as im aware, this kinda stuff doesnt work in Multiplayer... game caches dont work, im im pretty sure save games wont work with multiple players whatsoever. Edit: If this is Single Player, then are u sure that all buttons are set, load your functions tto the brim with debug messeges

This is singleplayer.
And no the cancel button isn't set but i just want it it do nothing so i didn't think i have to trigger it.
But i think they are set here the trigger :
SaveMenu=Dialog variable
SaveMenu_yes=Dialog button variable
SaveMenu_cancel=Dialog button variable

Trigger:

Save init

Events

Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds

Conditions

Actions

Dialog - Change the title of SaveMenu to Do you want to save...

Dialog - Create a dialog button for SaveMenu labelled Save

Dialog - Create a dialog button for SaveMenu labelled Cancel

So the save menu is set at the begining of the game.

Save0095,0096,0097 are save spot they are unit.

Trigger:

Save

Events

Unit - A unit comes within 50.00 of Save 0095 <gen>

Unit - A unit comes within 50.00 of Save 0096 <gen>

Unit - A unit comes within 50.00 of Save 0097 <gen>

Conditions

Or - Any (Conditions) are true

Conditions

(Triggering unit) Equal to Hero[1]

(Triggering unit) Equal to Hero[2]

(Triggering unit) Equal to Hero[3]

Actions

Dialog - Show SaveMenu for Player 1 (Red)

So now when a unit come to a save spot it show the dialog menu.

Trigger:

Save Yes

Events

Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for SaveMenu

Conditions

Actions

If ((Clicked dialog button) Equal to SaveMenu_cancel) then do (Dialog - Hide SaveMenu for Player 1 (Red)) else do (Do nothing)

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Clicked dialog button) Equal to SaveMenu_yes

Then - Actions

Custom script: call SaveGame( "WoGAutosave.w3z" )

Game - Display to (All players) the text: |cff00ff00Game save...

Dialog - Hide SaveMenu for Player 1 (Red)

Else - Actions

Do nothing

And here what happen when u click a button.
Is there anything wrong?

Callahan, you didn't set the save button to the variable, also you don't need any variable for the cancel button, just leave it blank.
Also i'm pretty sure you don't have to hide the dialog afterwards, because it will be automatically hidden when a button is clicked. (At least when i click a button)

Dark.Revenant	Wouldn't you be able to do this pretty easily in GUI?

07-12-2007, 02:02 PM	#7
Thunder_Eye	Most likely, but why use GUI when you know JASS? (though that jass trigger makes me dizzy)

Captain Griffen	GUI is fine where performance is no issue, just so long as it doesn't leak excessively or repeatedly.

I have another minor issue :the folder.It save at Save/Profile#/CustomSaves/MapName/ so you cannot load your save from the F10 menu in game unless you change the folder of the .w3z
I can trigger to load the map but it would be annoying since you have to start a new game before load your saved file.

I just want to know if it's possible to specifie the folder in jass trigger like

JASS:

call SaveGame("C:/Program files/Warcraft3/Save/WoGAutosave.w3z")

TheSecretArts	errr.... youd probably have to make a native that does SaveGame but adds a directory because the directory is hardcoded (to my knowledge) in the function.

Callahan	Any i've fixed with another custom load system.And it appear at the begining before starting the game there is a dialog wich ask if you want to start a new game or load game so that they can load they're map. But i've encounter another problem,The save can work only once unless you reload the map.Is there a way to fix that?

TheSecretArts	Make a handler map, with the code Trigger: Game - Load Saved Game <saved game> unless thats not an actual function. Just make a map that when loaded, loads the save <if any>, else starts a 'new game' using the starter map

Callahan	The load work properly. The problem is that you can save only once during the game.If you try to resave during the same game it won't work.You have to reload your saved game to enable the save again.
