xml function.

[roaddog]

Here's the script:

addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStop", resourceRoot, function ( ) 
     local file = xmlLoadFile("@Chat.xml", "Chats") or xmlCreateFile('@Chat.xml', 'Chats') 
    if not file then 
        xmlCreateFile('@Chat.xml', 'Chats')  
    end 
    for i, v in pairs ( Chats ) do 
        local child = xmlFindChild ( file, 'chat', 0 ) 
        if child then 
            xmlDestroyNode(file) 
            child = xmlCreateChild(file, 'chat') 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute(child, 'name', v) 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute(child, 'enabled', tostring(isset(eTable[v]))) 
        end 
        if not child then 
            child = xmlCreateChild(file, 'chat') 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute(child, 'name', v) 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute(child, 'enabled', tostring(isset(eTable[v]))) 
        end 
    end 
    xmlSaveFile(file) 
    xmlUnloadFile(file) 
end ) 
  

and the result:

    <chat name="Support" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Main" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Team" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Local" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Group" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Advert" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Kills" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Joinquit" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Support" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Main" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Team" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Local" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Group" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Advert" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Kills" enabled="false"></chat> 
    <chat name="Joinquit" enabled="false"></chat> 

The childs keep getting duplicated everytime I restart the resource.

How to fix this? Thanks

Line 6 through to 19 is in a pairs loop of the table "Chats", I assume the table has 2 values inside it. 2 value stacks are inserted as childs of just 1 XML nodes.

I assume you were aiming to have a specific node for Chats[1] and another one for Chats[2], and within each, their respective childs, right?

First of all, you don't need to check if file is nil, it will either load or create.

It's getting duplicated because, if found, you're destroying the xml file's node, which won't work, you need to destroy the child node.

This is not needed as you can just update the node if it is found. But you keep finding the same child over and over again, destroy it and then recreate it.

You can do something like this:

addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStop", resourceRoot, function ( ) 
     local file = xmlCreateFile('@Chat.xml', 'Chats') 
     if not file then return end 
    for i, v in pairs ( Chats ) do 
           local child = xmlCreateChild(file, 'chat') 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute(child, 'name', v) 
            xmlNodeSetAttribute(child, 'enabled', tostring(isset(eTable[v]))) 
    end 
    xmlSaveFile(file) 
    xmlUnloadFile(file) 
end )

Eh, no...

the table is like this;

local Chats = { "Support", "Main", "Team", "Local", "Group", "Advert", "Kills","Joinquit" }

Update:

With your code, now the file only has one child.

<Chats> 
    <chat name="Joinquit" enabled="false"></chat> 
</Chats> 
  

Update2: NVM, JR10's worked till I deleted the xml. and recreated it

Thanks
