xml question

[Castillo]

hi, i have a little problem on my "friends list" resource, i noticed that you aren't able to add a friend if someone else added him, i know why this happends but i have no idea how i can fix it, the problem must be that i'm checking all accounts not only mine.

here is part of code:

  
    local root = getResourceConfig("data.xml") 
    local index = getIndex (getPlayerSerial(client),root) 
    for i , v in pairs ( xmlNodeGetChildren ( root ) ) do 
        for s , t in pairs ( xmlNodeGetChildren ( v ) ) do 
            local att = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( t, "name" ) 
            local rn = string.lower ( tostring ( nametext ) ) 
            local ra = string.lower ( att ) 
            if ( rn == ra ) then outputChatBox ( "A friend with this name already exist." , client , 255 , 0 , 0 ) 
                return false 
            end 
        end 
    end 

i hope someone know how i can fix it.

Thanks in advance.

You just need to make an nodeattribute for the account name for the player who added the friend, like

when the players add another friend make it get the player's account who added the friend and check all the lines which has Account nodeattribute as ( e.g )"Static-X", then get the account of the player who I wanted to add, if the friendAccount is "Pulsar" it will return end.

Just a thought:

You are addicted to XML i see

Notice that XML after getting big is much slower than SQL. And SQL is actually easier

yeah varez, i know i may convert it to sqlite later but for now i'm trying to create it with XML.

P.S: i don't really get what do you mean static

post your small xml example, and i'll show you what you need to change if you dont understand Static-X

<playerfriends> 
    <user account="2F71C8856F19CD2523627FFCE58BA3A1"> 
        <friend name="Chase_Oquinn" serial="B92D9BF5F9C1AE0A514F445EBFC63394" /> 
        <friend name="[MM]Castillo" serial="2F71C8856F19CD2523627FFCE58BA3A1" />

    local playerSerial = getPlayerSerial(client) -- added, fix if needed 
    local root = getResourceConfig("data.xml") 
    local index = getIndex (getPlayerSerial(client),root) 
    for i , v in pairs ( xmlNodeGetChildren ( root ) ) do 
        local xmlNodeUserSerial = xmlNodeGetAttribute(v,"account")  --- added 
        if (xmlNodeUserSerial==playerSerial) then  -- added 
            for s , t in pairs ( xmlNodeGetChildren ( v ) ) do 
                local att = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( t, "name" ) 
                local rn = string.lower ( tostring ( nametext ) ) 
                local ra = string.lower ( att ) 
                if ( rn == ra ) then outputChatBox ( "A friend with this name already exist." , client , 255 , 0 , 0 ) 
                    return false 
                end 
            end 
        end -- added, lol 
    end
