[Resolved][Help] Resetting account data (setAccountData)

[GERgta]

Hello people

I've been trying to reset account data for a system I wrote to save the player's weapons, however; I can not find a way to delete account data that I've set. I've tried setAccountData(acc,"key",false) and setAccountData(acc,"key",nil), but nothing seems to work

I get no errors and the the account that I used exists. Any help?

setAccountData(acc,"key",false)

Should work, if it's not then that's your saving system problem

Okay, I will try again.

EDIT: *giant facepalm* I had a "if" event there that broke everything. Thanks everyone, sorry for wasting your time

It might still be a better idea to use "nil" instead of "false" as false is technically the value 0 while "nil" allow you to allocate that space for other stuff in your memory, and your server hard disks. On a small server we're talking about a few bits of space, (even on larger servers it might not even be noticeable, at least not in the beginnig but later on you might get a database filled with the value "false"). Therefore it's a good idea to set the account data to "nil", if you want to truly reset it.

That is extremely true, even with variables

Especially if you aspire to have server with 100+ players without lag

that small thing may case lag with alot players, who know
