read from .map

[Trevit]

Hi,

I have a little scripting problem:

I have the following line in my map file:

Now i want to read the line ( from an other resource ) in the script.

  
Spawnpoints = {} 
Spawnpoints = -- read all spawnpoints 
  

How can i manage it?

function getNodes(mapfile,name) 
  local xml=xmlLoadFile(mapfile) 
  local tbl={} 
  if xml then 
    local child=xmlNodeGetChildren(xml) 
    for k,v in ipairs(child) do 
      if xmlNodeGetName(v)==name then 
        tbl[#tbl+1]=xmlNodeGetAttributes(v) 
      end 
    end 
  return tbl 
  end 
end

it returns 2 spawnpoints but there is only 1

strange, it should return table containing tables of all info about particular child...

You should just use the map like normal, the use getElementsByType and getElementData...
