help with XML

[xXMADEXx]

How can i make it so that when an admin types /addped it will save the ped to peds.xml

somthink like this

<peds> 
    <ped x="posX" y="posY" z="posZ" rot="rotationZ" int="interitor" dim="dimenshin"></ped> 
</peds> 

-- Server side

function pedfunc (player, cmd, id) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( player ) ), aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player) 
    local rx = getElementRotation(player) 
    local int = getElementInterior(player) 
        created = createPed ( id, x+1, y, z, rx, int, 0 ) 
        setElementFrozen(created, true) 
        outputChatBox("Ped-System: You have successfully made a ped with an ID of #ff0000".. id, player, 0, 255, 0, true ) 
        if ( id == " " ) then 
            outputChatBox("Ped-System: Error, the command is /addped ", player, 255, 0, 0 ) 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Ped-System: This command is only for admins!", player, 255, 0, 0 ) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("addped", pedfunc)

xmlLoadFile 
xmlCreateChild 
xmlNodeSetAttribute 

These are the functions you require to do it.

Since still kinda new to saving stuff to XML, can you help me make it so this will work:

-- Create Peds.xml and insert tags -- 
function createFileHandler() 
    local peds = xmlCreateFile("peds/peds.xml","peds") 
    local ped = xmlCreateChild(peds, "ped")

end 
addCommandHandler("addpedfile", createFileHandler) 
  
function pedfunc (player, cmd, id) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( player ) ), aclGetGroup ( "lvl 5" ) ) then 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player) 
    local rx,ry,rz = getElementRotation(player) 
    local int = getElementInterior(player) 
    local dim = getElementDimension(player) 
    local load = xmlLoadFile("peds/peds.xml") 
    local oncreateped = xmlFindChild(load, "peds", 0) 
        created = createPed ( id, x+1, y, z, rx, int, dim ) 
        setElementInterior(created, int) 
        setElementDimension(created, dim) 
        setElementRotation(created, rx,ry,rz)

@Castro

That worked, but it will not load the file.

[Castillo]

Have you checked if the file is on the resource folder/peds?

[xXMADEXx]

Yes, the place were all the ped files are is "[ROG]Core/peds/{server, client, peds.xml}

[Castillo]

"[ROG]Core" is the resource name, right?

Remove "peds.xml" and then, with the code I posted, execute "addpedfile", then create a ped.

/addpedfile will not work. It dosnt create the ped file, and when i insert a peds.xml (with the correct tags) it will say "Ped-System: Failed to load XML file!," How do i fix this?

xmlSaveFile was missing.

[xXMADEXx]

Well, It does not save the ped to the xml file.

[Castillo]

That's because I forgot to save the file after adding the new child, copy my code again.
