[Strike27208]

Hey , this is my code , He don't create the XML file and i tried this   : ( Only Client )

function createXML()
if source == vehPanel.button[1] then
        settings = xmlCreateFile("savedsettings.xml","settings")
	    if guiCheckBoxGetSelected(vehPanel.checkbox[1]) then
            xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "true")
	    else
	        xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "false")
	    end	
  end
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", getRootElement(), createXML)

And this  :

function createXML()
        settings = xmlCreateFile("savedsettings.xml","settings")
	    if guiCheckBoxGetSelected(vehPanel.checkbox[1]) then
            xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "true")
	    else
	        xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "false")
	    end	
  end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), createXML)

And this : 

function createXML()
  local exists = fileExists ( "savedsettings.xml" )
		if not exists then
        settings = xmlCreateFile("savedsettings.xml","settings")
	    if guiCheckBoxGetSelected(vehPanel.checkbox[1]) then
            xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "true")
	    else
	        xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "false")
	    end	
  end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), createXML)

You might wanna save the file first. Use xmlSaveFile. Also, you're not properly closing an if statement in example 1 and 3.

It's start like this : 

function createXML()
  local exists = fileExists ( "savedsettings.xml" )
		if not exists then 
        settings = xmlCreateFile("savedsettings.xml","settings")
	    if guiCheckBoxGetSelected(vehPanel.checkbox[1]) then
            xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "true")
	    else
	        xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "false")
	    end	
  end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), createXML)
  
----Gui
  vehPanel.checkbox[1] = guiCreateCheckBox(0.03, 0.02, 0.05, 0.07, "", false, true, vehPanel.tab[1])
  vehPanel.button[1] = guiCreateButton(0.71, 0.80, 0.24, 0.15, "Save", true, vehPanel.tab[1])
  
  ---Here save my checkbox 
  addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", getRootElement(),
function()
	if source == vehPanel.button[1] then
	    xmlSaveFile(settings)
		xmlUnloadFile(settings)
		guiSetVisible( vehPanel.window[1], false )
	end
end
)
 ----------Function 
  
  function veh1(file, success)
        local exists = fileExists ( "vehicles/car.txd" and "vehicles/car.dff"  )
		if not exists then 
		exports.notification:outputTopBar("[ERROR] You don't have this car .", 255, 0, 0)
		guiCheckBoxSetSelected(vehPanel.checkbox[1],false)
		currentTrack = playSound ( "error.wav" )
end
	if guiCheckBoxGetSelected( vehPanel.checkbox[1] ) == true then
	    xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "true")
		local exists = fileExists ( "vehicles/car.txd" and "vehicles/car.dff" )
		if exists then 
		exports.notification:outputTopBar("Car mod enabled", 0, 255, 0)
		local changeTXD = engineLoadTXD ("vehicles/car.txd")
		local changeDFF = engineLoadDFF ("vehicles/car.dff")
		engineImportTXD ( changeTXD, 568 )
		engineReplaceModel (changeDFF, 568)
		guiLabelSetColor ( vehPanel.label[1], 0, 255, 0 )
end
	else
	    xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "false")
		local exists = fileExists ( "vehicles/bandito.txd" and "vehicles/bandito.dff" )
		if exists then 
		exports.notification:outputTopBar("Car mod disabled", 255, 0, 0)
		engineRestoreModel ( 568 )
		guiLabelSetColor ( vehPanel.label[1], 219, 219, 219 )
end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", vehPanel.checkbox[1], veh1, false)
  
  ---------End
  function load()
    local currentFile = xmlLoadFile ("savedsettings.xml")
    if xmlNodeGetAttribute(currentFile, "car") == "true" then
	    guiCheckBoxSetSelected(vehPanel.checkbox[1], true)
	    veh1()
    end
  end
load()
  
 

This is it.

You should mark the lines with the warnings for us, since the numbers are different here.

Anyway, on lines 37 and 48 settings is nil. I guess it's nil because you used xmlUnloadFile previously and didn't load it again.

Also,

local exists = fileExists ( "vehicles/bandito.txd" and "vehicles/bandito.dff" )

is wrong. That will only check for the second file, that is the dff. You have to use it like this:

local exists = fileExists("vehicles/bandito.txd") and fileExists("vehicles/bandito.dff")

Thanks MIKI785 , now if i get nil from xml , that  mean he dont find that shortcut , i have this : 

 xmlNodeSetAttribute(settings, "car", "true") -- nil argunment 1 , argument 1 is "settings" . 

He don't find xml , i tried to put 

local currentFile = xmlLoadFile ("savedsettings.xml")

No more warrnings but he don't change in savedsettings.xml nothing , all are false . ,
