Does anyone know how the save/load character code from Xuru RPG is done? If anyone does, maybe u can explain it to me so i would understand much clearly >.< Either that or maybe send me a test/sample like map so I can see how its done (if you do this 1, ill put you in the credits if I use it in an RPG map i might make >.<) Any help would be appreciated, plz n thx
Oh and plz, dont mention anything about the save/load game option that starcraft lets u do, because thats not what im talking about

Just to encourage you : On how much different things (form exemple, level and spells) you want to base you save/load triger?
x * y = number of possibilities...
Well... if you would have read my topic in UMS Assistance, I've askedt
that question.

Basically, when they choose a number, you add that as a deathcount somewhere, and if they get all the right combination of death counts then you put them at a starting point.

Xuru RPG uses locations and bring location conditions for its save/load feature, but death counts/switches work much better as it allows for a much larger array of data.
What you need is to create a gateway spell casting system and increase/decrease some DC variables whenever a particular unit is built, and reserve one unit or building to do the save/load check.When the right conditions are met, load/save the states you wanted. You might also want to use binary count-off variables to greatly reduce the amount of triggers required.
Note that you should make it extremely hard to guess the load passwords/not leave comments that give away the passwords, otherwise people can easily guess them/use trigger viewer to find the right combination (Xuru RPG made this exact mistake).

Fwop_'s new map Land of Arex (never finished) used death counters however 
Its not hard to do really, you just gotta find out a way to prevent fake passwords.

Question is how would you enter this code back into the game depending on how many variables you use it would take a large chunk of terrain to make a input area. (forgive me I have not played Xuru RPG I am unsure how the input system in that game works. I know from wc3 what you mean by save/load feature tho.)

yeh thanks for all the info... wont this take like an assload of triggers though, for all the possibilities that ur char can have? ive been googling a few n everything looks so complicated @_@ i just wanted to know if there was a simpler way of doing it or if anyone has ever made some kind of sample map to let others use it in their maps >.<
ADDITION:
@_@ please explain these "binary count-off variables" , i'm kinda not used to that stuff >.< im more of a basic map maker, still learning on how to be one of the best

Tutorial: Binary Countoff
In other words, a binary count-off variable is a variable that is used to transfer its value to one or more other variables in powers of 2.
