I have 11 xml files (destructionzones.xml, environment.xml, ferriswheel.xml, headquarters.xml ......)

but i don't know how to add them when i click on the row.

should I make 11 functions like "if guiGridListGetSelectedItem(environment) then loadXML("environment.xml")" for all rows?

    function myHelpList(key, keyState) 
        helpWindow = guiCreateWindow(0.1768,0.2188,0.6475,0.6641,"Help Window",true) 
        guiSetAlpha(helpWindow,1) 
        guiWindowSetSizable(helpWindow,false) 
        closeButton = guiCreateButton(0.3725,0.8922,0.2398,0.0784,"Close",true,helpWindow) 
        guiSetFont(closeButton,"default-bold-small") 
        helpMemo = guiCreateMemo(0.2247,0.1471,0.7225,0.7137,"",true,helpWindow) 
        helpGrid = guiCreateGridList(0.0136,0.1451,0.1961,0.7157,true,helpWindow) 
        guiGridListSetSelectionMode(helpGrid,2) 
  
        guiGridListAddColumn(helpGrid,"Freeroam",0.2) 
  
        for i = 1, 11 do 
            guiGridListAddRow(helpGrid) 
end 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,0,1,"Destruction Zones") 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,1,1,"Environment") 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,2,1,"Ferris Wheel") 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,3,1,"HeadQuarters") 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,4,1,"Horseshoe Mission") 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,5,1,"Shops") 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,6,1,"Skins") 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,7,1,"UFO") 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,8,1,"Vehicles") 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,9,1,"Weapons") 
  
        guiGridListSetItemText(helpGrid,10,1,"Weed Mission") 
    end 
addCommandHandler("help", myHelpList) 
bindKey("F9", "down", myHelpList)

I recommend to make a table with the name and the XML file, then when click the grid list load the content of that file.

E.g: 

local myFiles = { 
    ["Hello"] = "hello.xml", 
    ["World"] = "world.xml", 
}

Oh thank you :D but can you explain them? You know i'm a still beginner 

for name, file in pairs (myFiles) do -- i know this is a table but what can i do with this? What does this do? Where can i use this? 
  
  
if (row and col and row ~= -1 and col ~= -1) then -- and this is a little bit confusing..

I also wanna know this.

But I think it is:

Table >

Makes it possible to use function on things inside this table.

(take all the vehicle and use at one of these the script.)

row and col>

first check if they exist.

"row and col and"

Check count of them.

"~= -1 and col ~= -1"

Maybe we can find it here: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html

PLS I seriously need to know if what I am saying is right!! Need some profesional information!!

I think you're right.

for name, file in pairs (myFiles) do -- Loop, used mostly when we are working with tables, this define the index ( if exists ) and data stored in it.

pairs -- Is used for all tables ( non-indexed and indexed )

ipairs -- Is used for indexed tables, like the name: i = indexed, pairs = table xD

if row and col and row ~= and col ~= -1 then -- I can't explain right, only what can I say is, if you don't put -1 and if you use onClientGUIClick it will not work when you click in any row...

Start learning Lua: http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory :D

You have to replace "replaceWithYourNode" with your xml's nodes names.

Example: Change in your xml's the node names ( e.g: WHAT THE FUCK ) that you want to get. And set the same for all.

i know. i made 

<rules> 
some test rules 
</rules>

but didn't work

and this is the thingy you want

local node = xmlFindChild( file, "rules", 0 )

right?

xml example: 

      Some amazing text

In all xml files.

And change xmlFindChild "rules" to your node ( in my example, node is "one" without " " )
