Help with storing values in xml

[jkub]

Ive put in a base that works by password and I am trying to store it in an xml and trying to use a scripted function to output the pass from the xml into the chatbox but is inaffective

Here is the script below

  
function readPassToPlayer ( thePlayer ) 
local passwordXML = xmlLoadFile ( "base.xml", getThisResource() ) 
    if passwordXML then 
        local passNode = xmlFindSubNode ( base.xml, "basepass" ) 
        local nodeReading = xmlNodeGetValue ( passNode ) 
            outputChatBox ( tostring(nodeReading), getRootElement() ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "Error Loading File" ) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "getbasepass", readPassToPlayer ) 

And here below is the actual xml file

="samClient.lua" type="client" />    ="lvairbase.lua" type="server" />    ="samServer.lua" type="server" />    src="base.xml" type="client" />

look at line 5..

base.xml just as this, is trying to access a table called base with a key "xml".. You have to put the passwordXML variable there instead

This is what script debug is for. It would have easily picked it up. Make sure you activate debugscript and you'll save yourself a lot of time.

Ya ive switched it around a bit and that didnt seem to work. I went back to the wiki and took another look at the function and tried doing first the parentnode then the subnode then the index number like it said. Ive tried both index as 0 and 1 and this didnt seem to work neither

also to clear this up. I use debug script every time I test anything even if its the smallest thing. And it is telling me that there is a bad argument at line 5 I already know that there is a problem but I cant seem to fix it
