game cache use in hero triggers

cause the gache uses the return bug, i gota change this, and i dont understand gamecache, so im posting it here to get help

instructions that came with the map for how to set up hero triggers

Code:: Several steps need to be adhered to when adding a new hero to ensure that it is correctly instantiated and conforms to the game mechanisms and to ensure that only required triggers are activated. 1. If the hero requires triggers, then each trigger is not instantiated on initialization, but a call to "StartTrigger" for example the "Slithereen Guard" has a "Slithereen Crush" trigger. The standard initialization function is left blank: --- function InitTrig_Slithereen_Crush takes nothing returns nothing --- endfunction Instead this function is created which will be called if necessary to ensure the trigger is loaded --- function StartTrigger_Slithereen_Crush takes nothing returns nothing --- set gg_trg_Slithereen_Crush = CreateTrigger( ) --- call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Slithereen_Crush, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT ) --- call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Slithereen_Crush, Condition( function Trig_Slithereen_Crush_Conditions ) ) --- call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Slithereen_Crush, function Trig_Slithereen_Crush_Actions ) --- endfunction 2. Each hero that requires triggers possesses a single "Enabling" trigger that calls the StartTriggers of the hero, in the case of the Slithereen Guard: --- function Trig_Enable_Slithereen_Guard_Actions takes nothing returns nothing --- call ExecuteFunc("StartTrigger_Slithereen_Crush") --- endfunction --- function InitTrig_Enable_Slithereen_Guard takes nothing returns nothing --- set gg_trg_Enable_Slithereen_Guard = CreateTrigger( ) --- call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Enable_Slithereen_Guard, function Trig_Enable_Slithereen_Guard_Actions ) --- endfunction This trigger is NOT run on map initialization, instead it is manually called when it is required for a given game. 3. In the "Utility" category the following needs to be set in the "Heroes Setup" trigger: AddHero(type_id, team, enabling_trigger), for example: --- call AddHero('U001', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Slithereen_Guard)

and the gamecache code

Code:: library cache // Misc function InitializeCache takes nothing returns nothing call FlushGameCache(InitGameCache("CacheSystem.x")) set udg_Cache=InitGameCache("CacheSystem.x") endfunction

the hero set up trigger

Code:: function AddHero takes integer i, boolean b, trigger t returns nothing local string s = UnitId2String(i) local integer j = StringLength(s) set udg_AllHero[udg_HeroCount] = i set udg_HeroCount = udg_HeroCount + 1 if b then set udg_SentiHero[udg_SentinelCount] = i set udg_SentinelCount = udg_SentinelCount + 1 else set udg_ScourgeHero[udg_ScourgeCount] = i set udg_ScourgeCount = udg_ScourgeCount + 1 endif set s = SubString(s, j - 4, j) call SetTargetObject(s, t) endfunction function SetupHeroes takes nothing returns nothing call SetCacheTarget(udg_GameHandler) call AddHero('H008', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Farseer) call AddHero('H00E', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Libby) call AddHero('H00H', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Captain) call AddHero('E001', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Harlequin) call AddHero('H00R', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Asurmen) call AddHero('H00N', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Autarch) call AddHero('H00L', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Avatar) call AddHero('H00S', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Fuegan) call AddHero('H00T', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Karandras) call AddHero('H00W', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Tau) call AddHero('H012', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Grandmaster) call AddHero('H01A', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Psyker) call AddHero('H01C', udg_Sentinel, gg_trg_Enable_Celestine) call AddHero('O009', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Warboss) call AddHero('O00A', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Doc) call AddHero('O00B', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Mek) call AddHero('O00D', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Runtherd) call AddHero('O00H', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Warphead) call AddHero('O004', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Lord_Of_Change) call AddHero('O00J', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Kharn) call AddHero('O00K', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Lucius) call AddHero('O00L', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Typhus) call AddHero('O00M', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Lord) call AddHero('O00N', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Bloodthirster) call AddHero('O00O', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Zoanthrope) call AddHero('O00P', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Mistress) call AddHero('O00Q', udg_Scourge, gg_trg_Enable_Secrets) endfunction //=========================================================================== function InitTrig_Heroes_Setup takes nothing returns nothing endfunction

this line is called when a hero is picked

Code:: call ConditionalTriggerExecute(GetCacheTrigger(CacheOwner(udg_GameHandler), SubString(UnitId2String(GetUnitTypeId(u)), 7, 11)))

then the initialization trigger on one of my heros,

Code:: function Trig_Enable_Farseer_Actions takes nothing returns nothing call ExecuteFunc("StartEldricthStorm") call ExecuteFunc("StartDoom") call ExecuteFunc("StartMindWar") call ExecuteFunc("StartFortune") call ExecuteFunc("StartGuide") call ExecuteFunc("StartGuideLvl") endfunction //=========================================================================== function InitTrig_Enable_Farseer takes nothing returns nothing set gg_trg_Enable_Farseer = CreateTrigger( ) call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Enable_Farseer, function Trig_Enable_Farseer_Actions ) endfunction

and the corresponding part in the spell itself

Code:: function StartGuide takes nothing returns nothing set gg_trg_guide = CreateTrigger( ) call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_guide, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT ) call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_guide, Condition( function Trig_guide_Conditions ) ) call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_guide, function Trig_guide_Actions ) endfunction //=========================================================================== function InitTrig_guide takes nothing returns nothing endfunction
