What's the problem Here?

[PoliceSA]

function SetTime() 
    local mapMeta = xmlLoadFile("meta.xml") 
           local value = xmlNodeGetAttribute(mapMeta, "value") 
             local dotPos = string.find(value,":")-- The Problem 
               local hours = string.sub(value,1,dotPos-1) 
              local minutes = string.sub(value,dotPos+1,string.len(value)) 
             setTime(tonumber(hours),tonumber(minutes)) 
                 setMinuteDuration(1000000000) 
         outputChatBox("Time Setted") 
end 

Error : bad argument #1 to 'find' string expected got boolean

Because it makes no sense. A XML handle cannot have an XML attribute, you must first find a child and then get its attribute.

I tried with this script too :

local file = xmlLoadFile("meta.xml") 
        for i, v in ipairs(xmlNodeGetChildren(file)) do 
            local name = xmlNodeGetName(v) 
            if name == "settings" then 
                local sname = xmlNodeGetAttribute(v,"name") 
if sname == "#time" then 
                    local value = xmlNodeGetAttribute(v, "value") 
                    if value then 
                        value = string.gsub(value, "%s+", "") 
                        value = string.gsub(value, "[%[%]]", "") 
                        setTime(value:match('(%d+)%d+)')) 
                        realtime = value 
                    else 
                        setTime(12,0) 
                    end 
             end 
     end 
end 

but still doesn't set the correct time

UP!

You first have to do xmlFindChild for settings. Then do xmlNodeGetChildren.

[PoliceSA]

Can you explain better how i can do that?

[PoliceSA]

up i need that please

[Et-win]

local fChild_Settings = xmlFindChild(mapMeta, "settings", 0) 

I bet you know the next code.
