I haven't read all of this, but did you make sure that you have a global variable named 'cache' of type 'game cache'? Another tip, in LocalVars function it's better to have a map initialization trigger that does:

JASS:

call FlushGameCache(InitGameCache("cache"))
set udg_cache = InitGameCache("cache")

Then change LocalVars function into this:

JASS:

function LocalVars takes nothing returns gamecache
    return udg_cache
endfunction

So it doesn't always have check if udg_cache is null every time you store something. Oh, and if you're gonna be jasser, learn vJass as soon as possible, it will save you a lot of space and it's not complicated.

burningice95	I did what you said, and the map still wouldn't start. :(

cohadar	Use NewGen for God's sake.

burningice95	I do use newgen, but there is a bug with newgen & vexorians spell factory, where it finds an error in your header (and stops there, and doesn't check the rest of your code). I'm trying importing the spell into a new map, without the spell factory to see if I can get it to work....

Yes it is true you cannot use NewGen and map header at the same time.
I don't know if Vex did that on purpose but if he did I totally agree with him,
map header sux.

Besides spell factory is kind of outdated, Vex said himself that JESP is better.

And all that handle-vars functions.... really really bad idea.

I suggest you start using some new systems.

I'm not a JASS user...I'm just trying to import some spells :(

Anyway I had 2 versions of local handle vars in my map (one had more stuff then the other)
