SavePlayerData

[CodX]

Hello !
 

function savePlayerData(thePlayer)
	local account = getPlayerAccount(thePlayer);
	if account then
		for _,v in ipairs(playerDataTable) do
			setAccountData(account, v[1], getElementData(thePlayer, v[1]));
		end
		local x,y,z = getElementPosition(thePlayer);
		setAccountData(account, "last_x", x);
		setAccountData(account, "last_y", y);
		setAccountData(account, "last_z", z);
	end
end

I have some problems with this script. He always get player name as "nil" and i don't know why can't.

Warning Text from debugger: Bad Argument @'getPlayerAccount' [Expected element at argument 1, got nil]

How do you call the savePlayerData function?

setTimer(function()
	savePlayerData(source)
end, 1000, 0);

addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", root, function()
	savePlayerData(source)
end)

Try it with this.

I've tried this but sometimes don't save playerData when the player has disconnected.

There is no way it isn't saved with this method. It is called every single time a player is disconnected.

Sometiems didn't save my data, that is the reason why i've used a timer.

If you want to create an unoptimized script, here ya go.

setTimer(function()
	for i, k in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
		savePlayerData(k)
	end
end, 1000, 0)

In fact, there are at least two ways. One way is that the server crashes; nothing you can do there.. or that the resource gets stopped and a player leaves within the time the resource is not running; this can be solved using onResourceStop.

I was explaining in a situation where everything was fine, and he disconnected.
