xml bugs?

[DakiLLa]

hi. does xml has bugs in dp2.3? just i have a script which contains checks on xml nodes.. and sometimes script cant load file or something goes wrong so i cant do next operations..

well, the part of code:

function onExitHouseMarkerHit( player ) -- when player hits marker... 
    toggleAllControls( player, false ); 
    setTimer( toggleAllControls, 2000, 1, player, true ); 
    setTimer( xmlOperation, 1000, 1, source, player ); 
end 
  
function xmlOperation( marker, hitPlayer ) 
    local houseNumber = getElementData( marker, "number" ); 
     
    local hdb = xmlLoadFile( "houseDaBase.xml" ); 
     
    local rootNode = xmlFindSubNode( hdb, "root", 0 ); 
    local houseNode = xmlFindSubNode( hdb, "house"..tostring( houseNumber ), 0 ); 
     
    local dim = xmlNodeGetAttribute( xmlFindSubNode( hdb, "house"..tostring( houseNumber ), 0 ), "dim" ); 
    local playerDim = getElementDimension( hitPlayer ); 
    if tonumber( dim ) == playerDim then 
         
        local epX = xmlNodeGetAttribute( xmlFindSubNode( hdb, "house"..tostring( houseNumber ), 0 ), "epX" ); 
        local epY = xmlNodeGetAttribute( xmlFindSubNode( hdb, "house"..tostring( houseNumber ), 0 ), "epY" ); 
        local epZ = xmlNodeGetAttribute( xmlFindSubNode( hdb, "house"..tostring( houseNumber ), 0 ), "epZ" ); 
         
        epX = tonumber( epX ); 
        epY = tonumber( epY ); 
        epZ = tonumber( epZ ); 
         
        fadeCamera( hitPlayer, false, 1.0, 0, 0, 0 ); 
        setTimer( fadeCamera, 1000, 1, hitPlayer, true, 1.0 ); 
         
        setTimer( setElementInterior, 1000, 1, hitPlayer, 0, epX, epY, epZ ); 
        setTimer( setElementDimension, 1000, 1, hitPlayer, 0 ); 
    end 
  
end 

and after 5 minutes of good working script, i'm getting warnings (bad argument) in 'rootNode' and 'houseNode' nodes, so after these warnings script cant work fine.. and i need to restart a script again and again and again..

does this like bug and it fixed in 1.0 or i'm too dumb that i cant understand something ?

Is there any reason why you are using XML over SQL / MYSQL??

ehm... its my first time when i using data bases so i have started from xml..

I think that for sql's i need to have some experience, but i never tryed just to look what is this...

You either need to use xmlSaveFile and xmlUnloadFile after you finished retrieving information from the file or just use xmlLoadFile onResourceStart and store it in a global variable rather than opening it everytime someone enters a house marker.

yea, thx a lot, hankey, it works fine now
