Two things im not sure how to do - serbusfish - 03-07-2013
First of all I know there is a script that makes the game forget what it has loaded in memory for use when you've entered a level and you dont need to return to earlier levels, anyone know what this is? Ive seen it a while ago but didnt write it down.
Also i was wondering is it possible to make the map change if an enemy kills you? Or can map changing only be done via level doors?

for 2nd, you have to create a checkpoint.
then in the callback function you call the function ChangeMap().

For second problem i would set up a Checkpoint. In this checkpoint you specify a callback, where you call the function ChangeMap.
You can change map by the script with ChangeMap

For the first one...
"ClearSavedMaps();
Clears the “history” of the save, useful to do when you know the player will not be able to go back anymore. Makes the next save much smaller in size."

Although the way you worded the question may mean that create/destroy cache could be useful as well, as WIWWM suggests
