Code:
local iniFile = cIniFile("myfile.ini")
if(iniFile:ReadFile()) then
local data = tonumber(iniFile:GetValue(Player:GetName(), "data"))
if(not data==true) then
Server:SendMessage("cant retrieve data", Player)
else
Server:SendMessage("data: "..iniFile:GetValue(Player:GetName(), "data"), Player)
end
end
If it finds the key with the players name and value of data, it should output the data, otherwise output "cant retrieve data" right? or am i wrong? :S but either way its not working, it outputs fine if it finds the data, otherwise it doesnt do anything
heeeeeeelllppppp
Is Player's name suppose to be a number? Also you don't want to check for data == true. That simply doesn't work. You want to make sure it isn't null or nil by:
for easier readability:
Code:
if (data) then
Server:SendMessage("data: "..iniFile:GetValue(Player:GetName(),"data"), Player)
else
Server:SendMessage("Can't retrieve data",Player)
end
In reality checking for true is like making something check if it is equal to one.

that was when i was trying something else, needed to convert the data to a number, i guess i forgot to take it out
thanks for the help, i tried everything you said and every combination of 'not' '==' etc and it just doesnt want to work :/
but im sure i checked the existence of data using GetValue() before...
You should not check data == true, data is never true, data is a number. However, tonumber can return nil if the given argument is not a number. So what you should do is check for nil instead of true.
Problem solved, cheers for the help guys!
