Exporting data

[kev|GER]

Hey there,

I'm dealing with some problem that I can't solve without help.

I've got a script that saves a player's cash in a xml file. In another script, I need to somehow, import the player's cash from the xml file to do an if check. Can someone help me out?

The xml file looks like that:

<users> 
    <user> 
        <SERIAL_1948D27D64A12DD19329F2D5377717E3 points="78" cash="318" ></SERIAL_1948D27D64A12DD19329F2D5377717E3> 
        <SERIAL_2631516CC240A88B3BBD41F466C11844 "></SERIAL_2631516CC240A88B3BBD41F466C11844> 
        <SERIAL_E9A45949A1814608ADD0C7D9F2881B03 points="130" cash="10211"></SERIAL_E9A45949A1814608ADD0C7D9F2881B03> 
        <SERIAL_00E6645D0EDE3AE58733D9E0D8DC24E4"></SERIAL_00E6645D0EDE3AE58733D9E0D8DC24E4> 
    </user> 
</users> 
  

I hope I made myself understandable.

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean you want to use that data in another resource? you could make a exported function I think.

I want to use the data 'cash' in the xml file in another resource. How can I do an exported function?

[Castillo]

Well, I guess you have some function to get the cash from that resource already, right?

[kev|GER]

Well, I've got this:

function getPlayerCash (player) 
    loadPlayerData (player,"cash") 
end 

[Castillo]

Then, loadPlayerData is your function to get the XML cash and that.

Well, you must add this line in the meta.xml:

<export function="loadPlayerData" type="server" /> 

Then to use that function in another resource do this:

exports["YOUR_RESOURCE_NAME"]:loadPlayerData (player,"cash")

<export function="loadPlayerData" type="server" /> 

Then to use that function in another resource do this:

exports["YOUR_RESOURCE_NAME"]:loadPlayerData (player,"cash") 

I've done this in another resource:

function testt (source) 
pMoneyz = exports["points"]:loadPlayerData (source,"cash") 
outputChatBox (pMoneyz, source) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("cha", testt) 

But in debugscript it outputs :

'ERROR: Call: failed to call 'points:loadPlayerData' [string "?"]'

Thanks in advance.

Well, maybe you have a error in your resource or you expecified it wrong (the resource name, i.e the function name).

Also check if it's started.
