About map switching

I was wondering how Blizzard made the game cache in the expension orc campaing,how its able to switch between maps like this?

Hidden information:
I know they used the next trigger: Game - Save game as SaveFile.w3z and load LoadFile.w3z (Skip scores) but they had to load the next map and then save it before they can load it no? so its has to be Game - Save game as SaveFile.w3z and load next level (Skip scores) but then,when you come back to the saved/first map and travel to the second again, its will do Game - Save game as SaveFile.w3z and load next level (Skip scores) and thats means that the second map will loaded again from its start so its useless...


i farmed every forum and i cant find the answer,does anyone can explane me how they did that?

btw
Hero RPG just using what i am searching but i cant enter that campaing with my WE to check that...

Why don't you take a look at the Orc XP campaign and see how Blizzard did it? Thats how i learned how to do this.

Grab WinMPQ or any other MPQ editing program and open up the War3X.mpq, change the filter parameters to filter out everything that doesn't have the word 'orc' in it and then hunt down the maps.

I'm not sure if they are seperate maps inside the MPQ or if they are campaign files, you'll need to look around a bit, but they are in there. I've got them in my campaigns folder atm, great source of code for stuff.
