XML - Testing.

[Taalasmaa]

Yo,

I'm very and I mean very newbie in XML.

I can script lua very well, but I'm not ever practised XML's.

I'm just testing this:

function test2(thePlayer)
mission = xmlLoadFile("test.xml")
local newFinish = xmlCreateChild(mission, "newMission" );
x,y,z = getElementPosition(thePlayer)
xmlNodeSetAttribute( newFinish, "posX", x );
xmlNodeSetAttribute( newFinish, "posY", y );
xmlNodeSetAttribute( newFinish, "posZ", z );
end
addCommandHandler("test", test2)

Why this isn't working.

In debugscript it's giving Bad Arguement @ xmlCreateChild, Bad Arguement @ xmlNodeSetAttribute

Thanks.

xmlNodeSetAttribute fails because xmlCreateChild fails.

xmlCreateChild seems ok, though. So I'm expecting that for some reason, test.xml couldn't be loaded. Perhaps you haven't this file yet? Or perhaps you've just got the wrong name / directory?

test.xml is in the same directory than the script itself.

Name is test.xml

And I got the file, so far. Also I checked that test.xml doesn't have any big letters like "Test.xml"-

test.xml is in the same directory than the script itself.

The only thing I can think of then is an error in the XML file.

might xml file dont get rootnode?

and u need specify parentnode for xmlcreatechild, not xml file itself i think

try

if not mission then
xmlCreateFile("test.xml","rootnode")
end

Still not working . Any other things?

Really weird.. I added

resourceRoot = getResourceRootElement( getThisResource( ) )
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot,
function( )
local mission = xmlCreateFile ( "test.xml", "root" );
outputChatBox("test.xml created succesfully")
end
)

and removed old test.xml for test, but it's not EVEN creating new test.xml

This function creates a new XML document, which can later be saved to a file by using xmlSaveFile. This function will overwrite the file specified if it already exists.

Explanations, big or small, the Wiki has it all.

function test2()
if not xmlLoadFile( "test.xml" ) then
local mission = xmlCreateFile ( "test.xml", "root" );
local new1 = xmlCreateChild( mission, "newFinish" );
xmlSaveFile( mission );
end
end
addCommandHandler("test", test2)

Tried this too. It only Gives

<root/>

To test.xml file. It's not creating "newFinish".

Debug it, check what xmlCreateChild returns.

[Taalasmaa]

function test2()
if not xmlLoadFile( "test.xml" ) then
local mission = xmlCreateFile ( "test.xml", "root" );
local new1 = xmlCreateChild( mission, "Car" );
vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(source)
xmlNodeSetAttribute( new1, "Veh", vehicle );
xmlSaveFile( mission );
end
end
addCommandHandler("test", test2)

Okay, tried this1 too, now. It's not giving ANY errors in debugscript.. Just shows in test.xml.

And, I was in a car, lol.

[Taalasmaa]

I got it working.

Thanks anyway for everyone who helped me :b!
