Using savestatus/loadstatus

[Melmarkian 11]

Hi,

ok so I have a problem with saving of chars in a campaign. I tried this:

At the last trigger (with "END1"), I execute a script called "ende.sqf" with

unitname savestatus "unitname1";

In the init.sqf of the next mission I use:

unitname loadstatus "unitname1";

And then again at the end of the mission:

unitname savestatus "unitname2" (Because I read somewhere you always have to give a new name)

But my men always start with the standard loadout of their soldier class. I experimented a bit and to my surprise, they carried over their wounds in the next mission? This is what really confuses me.

Could there be a problem with units of the same name used in the intro of the mission? I also tried to open the objects.sav to see whats saved, but I haven´t had any luck with opening the file.

Ok, tested two more things:

Different name for units in intro and mission => no effect.

Executed the script with a hint before the mission ends => no effect.

I tried to load the status saved in mission 1 in the 3rd mission. => isn´t working either (backpack goes missing, too)

tested with .sqs => no effect

tested with player instead of charname => no effect

Different names of units between the mission are not a problem, either. (worked between 1 & 2)

The status save works from my first to the second mission. But not afterwards.

I actually use a sqs file in the first mission, but that cannot make a difference?

The wounding i reported earlier was also between 1 and 2 mission. One more thing: When I load the third mission the playerchar resets to standard loadout but also loses his backpack!

I am confused...

Edit3:

I even made an testcampaign now and it works without problems...

But not in the other one!

Lol, ok I finally made it. I rebuild the complete system and it works now. But don´t ask me what I did wrong.

So if someone wants to do it and is stuck like me:

This is a testcampaign with 3 missions where you can see how the savestatus/loadstatus is done.

PBO and Files included.

What is also discoverd in the process is the exit.sqf. Everything you write in there will be executed at the end of the mission. Seems to be a good place for weaponpool and status modifications.

Another discovery (maybe just for me):

To read the objects.sav file you can use the unRap Tool by Kegetys. It will convert the file into an .cpp which is readable
