i dont know if you want it,

but i think you can better use sql

you wont have the problem,

and you wont get problems later on with other scripts;)

in sql he just sorts it, and the accounts wont get bugged,

Accounts use SQL anyway.

You could do something like this:

setAccountData(getPlayerAccount(source), charid .. ".charname",nombre)

xmlNodeGetChildren(root) returns a table with all nodes in it.

But then you use this table again in the same function, which is your problem.

The function expects a node, not a table full of nodes.

So, this...

ipairs (xmlNodeGetChildren (db))

should just be...

ipairs (db)

Also, your function "findAccountChildInDB" will just return the node of the player's values, so you can't loop within it.

If you want to loop through all the characters, which are listed under the player's node, you have to again make use of xmlNodeGetChildren at this point and then loop through the returned table (if it is one, anyway) and get the attributes for every loop step.

now i get a different error in that line, "bad argument #1 to "pairs" (table exptected, got userdata)"

As I said, you can't loop through the value returned by your function.

You still have to get all children from this value (which is a node) and THEN you can loop through the table holding the children of your player node.

Where do i have to use "xmlNodeGetChildren"?

[MaddDogg]

local characterNodes = xmlNodeGetChildren(accountRoot)
 
for _,node in pairs(characterNodes) do
local atributes = xmlNodeGetAttributes(node)
local name = atributes.name
triggerClientEvent ( source, "addcharacter", getRootElement(), name)
end

That's how it should look like.

solved.
