function create_character (nametext,age,skin,red,green,blue)
local root = getResourceConfig("character/playerdb.xml")
local index = getUserIndex (getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source)),root)
for i , v in ipairs ( xmlNodeGetChildren ( root ) ) do
local accName = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( v , "name" )
if ( accName == tostring ( nametext ) ) then

Hey, theres few (two?) active topics. No need to bump. And when you reply to yourself, on topics list you get 1 in "reples" colums = less chance that somebody will open your topic than when it´s zero. Its better to wait a bit.

About your problem:

Post your xml example too.

That script is checking if the node has a "name" attribute, you'll have to get the child node of the child node of the file.
