meta settings issue

[Tete omar]

If i want to change something into meta.xml file

should i use

fileWrite 

?

ok i want to use it after click on a button

like this

server side

    addEvent("thebutton1", true) 
    function thebutton1() 
    destroyElement( Marker2 ) 
    end 
    addEventHandler('thebutton1',getRootElement(),thebutton1) 
     
    addEvent("thebutton2", true) 
    function thebutton2() 
    destroyElement( Marker2 ) 
    end 
    addEventHandler('thebutton2',getRootElement(),thebutton2) 

client side

    function closethewindow() 
    if ( source == GUIEditor_Button[3] ) then 
    guiSetVisible(GUIEditor_Window[2], false) 
    showCursor(false) 
    guiSetInputEnabled(false) 
    triggerServerEvent("thebutton1", getRootElement()) 
    outputChatBox(" now go take this house", getRootElement(), 255,255,0 ) 
     
    elseif 
    ( source == GUIEditor_Button[4] ) then 
    guiSetVisible(GUIEditor_Window[2], false) 
    showCursor(false) 
    guiSetInputEnabled(false) 
    triggerServerEvent("thebutton2", getRootElement()) 
    outputChatBox(" now go take this house !!! ", getRootElement(), 255,255,0 ) 
    end 
    end 
 addEventHandler('onClientGUIClick', root, closethewindow) 

this is 2 buttons on 2 tabs

so .. i want here to make fileWrite happens after this

    function thebutton1() 
    destroyElement( Marker2 ) 
     fileWrite("meta.xml", "anything here") 
    end 
    addEventHandler('thebutton1',getRootElement(),thebutton1) 
     
    addEvent("thebutton2", true) 
    function thebutton2() 
    destroyElement( Marker2 ) 
    fileWrite("meta.xml", "anything here") 
    end 
    addEventHandler('thebutton2',getRootElement(),thebutton2) 

but i don't want the meta.xml only

" anything here "

here's the meta.xml file

        
            "#minplayers" value="[ 0 ]">
            "#maxplayers" value="[ 128 ]">
            "#gravity" value="[ 0.008000 ]">
            "#weather" value="[ 0 ]">
            "#time" value="6:0">
            "#locked_time" value="[ false ]">
            "#waveheight" value="[ 0 ]">
            "#gamespeed" value="[ 1 ]">
        
        "maps/MAKR1.map" dimension="0">
        

actually i want to change time to 00:00 into the meta file

but not to use

setTime 

function

suppose i do like this

    function thebutton1() 
   destroyElement( Marker2 ) 
    fileWrite("meta.xml", "" value="00:00">") 
    end 
    addEventHandler('thebutton1',getRootElement(),thebutton1) 
     
    addEvent("thebutton2", true) 
    function thebutton2() 
    destroyElement( Marker2 ) 
    fileWrite("meta.xml", "" value="00:00">") 
    end 
    addEventHandler('thebutton2',getRootElement(),thebutton2) 

if there are an otherwise i would be thankful if you told me here.

"meta.xml" is a XML file, you must use the XML functions.

hmm i used it like this TAPL

function thebutton1() 
   destroyElement( Marker2 ) 
    set ("#time", 00:00) 
    end 
    addEventHandler('thebutton1',getRootElement(),thebutton1) 

it worked but i want to set time when i press on the button not when the resource start :\

[Jaysds1]

you could use the

set 
get 

functions anytime, not only on resource start.

functions anytime, not only on resource start.

    get ( "#time" ) 
    set ( "#time", 00:00 ) 

how about this

..

i see the time suddenly changed when i restarted the gamemode .. but i want it if i press the button

[TAPL]

Why you don't use setTime?

settings is an data that saved inside meta

the gamemode when you start it, it will get the time in the settings and set it using setTime

you can use this event https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnSettingChange with setTime and when you click on the button, use this https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/set and the time will changed.

[Tete omar]

doesn't work tapl

and i told you i don't want to use

setTime function

...

but. .. .. ..

i keep try it over then over .. nothing supports me i guess

thanks all

[TAPL]

explain for us why you don't want use function setTime

as far as i know there no other way to change the time without using setTime
