XML opening issues (?)

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

Hi all. I have this script that loads locations from an XML file. Apparently, there is a bad argument at line 3 (xmlRootGetChildren) so it wont return a table, triggering another error (expected tables, got nil).

server.lua

  
function getTaxiLocations() 
    local root = getResourceConfig("locations.xml") 
    local taxiNodes = xmlNodeGetChildren(root) 
    for _,node in pairs(taxiNodes) do 
    local atributes = xmlNodeGetAttributes(node) 
    local id = atributes.id 
    local name = atributes.name 
    local price = atributes.price 
    triggerClientEvent ( source, "sendTaxiLocations", source, id, name, price) 
    end 
    xmlUnloadFile(root)  
end 
addEvent( "getTaxiLocations", true ) 
addEventHandler( "getTaxiLocations", getRootElement(), getTaxiLocations) 
  

locations.xml

  
<root> 
    <location id="1" name="Some random street" price="10000" posX="2049.38671875" posY="1535.5419921875" posZ="10.671875" /> 
</root> 
  

Any advice would be appreciated. tysm

use xmlLoadFile

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

I've tried that.

[Ryder!]

what is the error exactly?

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

bad argument @ 'xmlNodeGetChildren'

and

bad argument #1 to "pairs" (expected table, got boolean)

[Ryder!]

is your xml file specified in the meta.xml?

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

Yes,

[Ryder!]

i dont know why it is not working

is your locations.xml in the root folder of the resource?

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

its in the same sub-folder with all the other files, but not in the actual resources directory (the meta is correct, im sure)

John, this was working when i gave it to you o_o

P.S: Get on msn when you can.

[qaisjp]

should be " local root = getResourceConfig("/folder1/folder2/locations.xml") " I think.

Just replace the folder1 and folder2 (and so on) with your folders and subfolders.

[Ryder!]

post a screenshot of the folder where your files are

[Castillo]

That's not required, i've helped him on MSN, i guess case close.

[Ryder!]

ok

also, you should send to the clients all the "locations" table once and not separately, it's more efficient
