    local accountName = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source))

Hi,

Maybe it's "players" instead of "player" in the xmlFindChild but I don't know, could you put here your player.xml ?

EDIT:

Or see this recent topic of Jasper:

https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=32309#p341306

<players> 
    <player name="JasperNL=D">

        </character> 
    </player> 
 </players> 
  

[Citizen]

Can you give us the findPlayerIndexByName function ?

[jwalks]

function findPlayerIndexByName (playeraccountname) 
  local root = xmlLoadFile ("players.xml") 
  local allPlayers = xmlNodeGetChildren (root) 
  local k = -1 
  for i,v in ipairs (allPlayers) do 
    k = k+1 
    if (xmlNodeGetAttribute (v,"name") == playeraccountname) then 
      return k 
    end 
  end 
  xmlUnloadFile (root) 
end  

[Citizen]

Try with this XML:

<players> 
    <player name="JasperNL=D"> 
        <character name="JasperNL=D" skin="106" cr="255" cg="127" cb="0" px="-1959.99609375" py="284.21875" pz="36.46875" pi="0" pd="0" cash="99999549" bank="6255" health="54.117649078369" armor="0" house="0" /> 
        <character name="JasperNL=O" skin="106" cr="127" cg="255" cb="0" px="-1973.9951171875" py="294.1162109375" pz="36.171875" pi="0" pd="0" cash="703" bank="92501496" health="65.098037719727" armor="0" house="1" /> 
    </player> 
</players> 

If it works, it means that you can't modify the XML structure like you want

when i try to create a new player this pops up i can see the players i already have but trying to make a new one fails i can see the character's that i placed in the players.xml

[Castillo]

That should mean, you need a different code to create them.

[Citizen]

Try this and tell me if there are errors:

local playerRoot = xmlFindChild (root,"player",1)
