[Help me]Radar Save Position

[denny199]

Hi there i got a small question i was making a own radar but now i got a problem how can i save the gui position

my code:

I wont give evrything cause u don't need it.

local screenWidth,screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
local sx,sy = guiGetScreenSize() 
local posx = sy * 0.0600 
local posy = sy * 0.585 
local height = sy * 0.322 
  
  
-- u don't need anything here 
local centerleft = posx + height / 2 
local centertop = posy + height / 2 
local blipsize = height / 16 
local huntersizex = height / 9 
local huntersizey = height / 7 
local lpsize = height / 8 
local range = 120

but i want to save the HEIGHT and posY and posX off the radar. but dunno how to start

Example. i pres close it saves the position and the height off the radar when i rejoin it's still that size

[Dark Dragon]

you could save it to an xml file when you quit and load if from there when you join again. https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Cli ... _functions

as long as the players don't completely uninstall mta the xml file should still exist later on

[denny199]

i never worked with xml files but this should be learned if i made it,

questions:

-Must I create onmyself a xml file with accounts or useing xmlcreateFile

-How can i import the saved things

-how save the positions? [ gimme just the function ]

caus i'm not understanding much about the xml at the moment

This is a simple example of how to save data with XML:

function saveDataToXML(dataName, dataValue) 
    local xmlFile = xmlLoadFile ("userdata.xml") -- Try to load the XML file. 
    local saved = false 
    if (not xmlFile) then -- If the file couldn't be loaded .. 
        xmlFile = xmlCreateFile("userdata.xml", "data") -- We create the XML file. 
    end 
    if (dataName and dataName ~= "") then -- If dataName and dataName is not "" then.. 
        local dataNode = xmlFindChild (xmlFile, dataName, 0) -- We try to load the child with that name. 
        if (not dataNode) then -- If the child doesn't exists .. 
            dataNode = xmlCreateChild(xmlFile, dataName) -- We create the child with that name. 
        end 
        if xmlNodeSetValue (dataNode, tostring(dataValue) or "") then -- If we successfully set the child data to .. 
            saved = true -- set 'saved' variable to true. 
        else 
            saved = false -- else set it to false. 
        end 
    else 
        saved = false -- If dataName was nil or was "" then we set 'saved' variable to false. 
    end 
    if (xmlFile) then -- If the XML file was loaded.. 
        xmlSaveFile(xmlFile) -- We save the XML file and then .. 
        xmlUnloadFile (xmlFile) -- We unload the XML file. 
    end 
    return saved -- We return the 'saved' variable. 
end 
  
function loadDataFromXML(dataName) 
    local xmlFile = xmlLoadFile ("userdata.xml")  -- Try to load the XML file. 
    local loaded = false 
    if (not xmlFile) then -- If the file couldn't be loaded .. 
        xmlFile = xmlCreateFile("userdata.xml", "data") -- We create the XML file. 
    end 
    if (dataName and dataName ~= "") then -- If dataName and dataName is not "" then.. 
        local dataNode = xmlFindChild (xmlFile, dataName, 0) -- We try to load the child with that name. 
        if (dataNode) then -- If the child exists .. 
            loaded = xmlNodeGetValue(dataNode) -- We set 'loaded' variable with the value obtained. 
        else 
            loaded = false -- else we set it to false. 
        end 
    else 
        loaded = false -- If dataName was nil or was "" then we set 'loaded' variable to false. 
    end 
    if (xmlFile) then -- If the XML file was loaded.. 
        xmlUnloadFile (xmlFile) -- We unload the XML file. 
    end 
    return loaded -- We return the 'loaded' variable. 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("save", 
    function (cmd, dataName, dataValue) 
        if saveDataToXML(dataName, dataValue) then 
            outputChatBox(tostring(dataName) ..": ".. tostring(dataValue) or "") 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addCommandHandler("load", 
    function (cmd, dataName) 
        local data = loadDataFromXML(dataName) 
        if data then 
            outputChatBox(tostring(dataName) ..": ".. tostring(data) or "") 
        end 
    end 
) 

commands:

/save

/load
