setAccountData and getAccountData

[DakiLLa]

in example what is "piraterpg.money" in setaccountdata and getaccountdata ? it's current file in which saves information of players or not ?

Example

For a pirate roleplaying gametype, the amount of money a player has is made persistent by storing it in his account. Note the code uses "piraterpg.money" as key instead of just "money", as the player may be participating in other gametypes that also save his money amount to his account. If both gametypes would use "money" as the account key, they'd overwrite each other's data.

save but dont load the money

Function setAccountData doesn't work as it should. Some people say it does work but I've never managed to make it work (even the way they said).

setAccountData removes all the accounts from accounts.xml file when server stops.

huh..nice..but i need to save progress in gamemode . Any ways to solve this problem?

[tma]

Save it to XML or SQL ?

setAccountData is fixed in DP3. Not that that helps you now...

But to stick on topic, i kinda wonder how this bug wasn't discovered during testing..

Just in case you didn't already notice - the script provided above will make that command available on the server - and unless you restrict it in the ACL, it'll be available to all players. So anybody could give themselves money, thus defeating the purpose of having money on most servers. We could all be chairmen of the Federal Reserve.

function onJoin(thePlayer) 
        local account = getClientAccount(thePlayer) 
        local money = getAccountData(account, "players/Player.money") 
        setPlayerMoney(thePlayer, money) 
end 
  
function giveCash(thePlayer, commandName, amount) 
        local account = getClientAccount(source) 
        local admin = getAccountData(account, "players/Player.admin") 
        if(admin >= 1) 
            local name1 = getClientName(source) 
            local name2 = getClientName(thePlayer) 
            givePlayerMoney(thePlayer, amount) 
            outputChatBox("Admin "..name1.." has given you $"..amount, thePlayer,0,255,255) 
            outputChatBox("You have given "..name2.." $"..amount, thePlayer,0,255,255) 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("givecash", giveCash) 

Of course you still need to use setAccountData when the player joins. So, that script doesn't entirely work yet.
