Problem regarding split function (XML)

[MrEpicness]

Hello,

Earlier today I've started scripting a gate system (XML). The result seems ok, everything works just the way I wanted to make it work. Now sadly I ran into 1 problem, I can't get the gate locked to multiple teams or classess. I figured out it'd probably require the

split() 

function, but I have no idea how to properly implent it.

Server side

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(), 
    function() 
        local xml = xmlLoadFile("gates.xml")             -- open the XML file 
        local messageNodes = xmlNodeGetChildren(xml)       -- get all child nodes of the root node () 
        gates = {}                             -- create a new global variable to store the welcome messages 
        for i,node in ipairs(messageNodes) do              -- loop over all the message nodes 
                            local gateID = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "object") 
            local posX = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "posX") 
            local posY = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "posY") 
            local posZ = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "posZ") 
            local rotX = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "rotX") 
            local rotY = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "rotY") 
            local rotZ = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "rotZ") 
            local permType = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "permType") 
            local permTo = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "permTo") 
  
            local gates = createObject(gateID, posX, posY, posZ)  
            setElementRotation(gates, rotX, rotY, rotZ) 
  
            local fX = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "fX") 
            local fY = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "fY") 
            local fZ = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "fZ") 
            local fHeight = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "fHeight") 
            local fRadius = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "fRadius") 
            local tempCol = createColTube ( fX, fY, fZ, fRadius, fHeight ) 
  
            local newX = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "newX") 
            local newY = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "newY") 
            local newZ = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "newZ") 
  
                function openGate(thePlayer) 
                    if permType == "team" then 
                        if getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(thePlayer)) == permTo then 
                            playSoundFrontEnd(thePlayer, 5) 
                            moveObject(gates, 3000, newX, newY, newZ) 
                        end 
                    elseif permType == "class" then 
                        if getElementData(thePlayer, "class") == permTo then 
                            playSoundFrontEnd(thePlayer, 5) 
                            moveObject(gates, 3000, newX, newY, newZ) 
                        end 
                    end 
                end 
  
                function closeGate(thePlayer) 
                    local orgX, orgY, orgZ = getElementData(gates, "orgpos") 
                    moveObject(gates, 3000, posX, posY, posZ) 
                end 
  
    addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", tempCol, openGate) 
    addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", tempCol, closeGate) 
end 
        xmlUnloadFile(xml) 
    end 
) 
  
  

If some of you could enlighten me, that'd be great! I'm also open for feedback!

Thanks in advance.

Bumpy, anyone?

You would have to split the text indeed, you could add teamnames in a string like; team1,team2,team3. Use the split function to get the teams and see if one of the teams is assigned to the player.
