XML

[ViRuZGamiing]

Hello guys,

I'm about to improve my script from Tables to XML but I need to know something about it.

Could you guys explain me some XML Functions and which ones I need to use.

Probably;

xmlCreateFile 
xmlLoadFile 
xmlSaveFile

Already made this and works:

function createFileHandler() 
    if xmlLoadFile(":xmltest/new.xml") then 
        outputChatBox("Succesfully loaded!", thePlayer) 
    else 
        local RootNode = xmlCreateFile("new.xml"," newroot") 
        local NewNode = xmlCreateChild(RootNode, "newchild") 
        xmlSaveFile(RootNode) 
        outputChatBox("File created!", thePlayer) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("createfile", createFileHandler) 

Creates this:

< newroot>    >> newroot> 

But idk what Root and Child are.

Did some research okay i know what childern and root are.

First I've created an XML on command

function createFileHandler() 
    if xmlLoadFile(":xmltest/vehicles.xml") then 
        outputChatBox("Succesfully loaded!", thePlayer) 
    else 
        local vehicles = xmlCreateFile("vehicles.xml"," vehicles") 
        local SF = xmlCreateChild(vehicles, "SF") 
            local SFCar1 = xmlCreateChild(SF, "Car 1") 
            local SFCar2 = xmlCreateChild(SF, "Car 2") 
            local SFCar3 = xmlCreateChild(SF, "Car 3") 
        local LS = xmlCreateChild(vehicles, "LS") 
            local LSCar1 = xmlCreateChild(LS, "Car 1") 
            local LSCar2 = xmlCreateChild(LS, "Car 2") 
            local LSCar3 = xmlCreateChild(LS, "Car 3") 
        local LV = xmlCreateChild(vehicles, "LV") 
            local LVCar1 = xmlCreateChild(LV, "Car 1") 
            local LVCar2 = xmlCreateChild(LV, "Car 2") 
            local LVCar3 = xmlCreateChild(LV, "Car 3") 
        xmlSaveFile(vehicles) 
        outputChatBox("File created!", thePlayer) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("createfile", createFileHandler) 

The above part works but now I wanted to try and use it and this didn't work for me.

No Errors.

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
    function() 
        local xml = xmlLoadFile("vehicles.xml")            
        local vehicleNodes = xmlNodeGetChildren(xml) 
        g_Vehicles = {}                              
        for i,node in ipairs(vehicleNodes) do          
            g_Vehicles[i] = xmlNodeGetValue(node)  
        end 
        xmlUnloadFile(xml) 
    end 
) 
  
addCommandHandler("createvehicle", 
    function() 
        local allVehicles = #g_Vehicles 
        local vehicle = g_Vehicles[math.random(allVehicles)]  
        createVehicle(vehicle)  
    end 
) 

When I put some Coordinates in the XML Childern it resets
