yeah, had a look at that - it was useful for some stuff then i started getting confused, might just have been due to it getting kinda late to be fair :p

I'm having issues getting it to write to the files, have you got any advice for me? It reads perfectly but I can't change settings, I'm trying to make a plugin for scores/money.

Look how it is handled in Area Plugin as I make extensive usage of INI file.

How can i check if a key exists, like
Code:
if(specified-key-exists) then
--do something
else
--do something else
end

Example from my Area Plugin:
PHP Code:
-- check if Owners already available
  
if(AreaPlugin.IniFile:FindValue(AreaID"Owners") < 0then
    
-- create new value
    AreaPlugin
.IniFile:SetValue(AreaPlugin:GetAreaKey(AreaID), "Owners"'"' .. PlayerName .. '",'true)
  else
    -- 
check if already Owner
    
if(AreaPlugin:IsOwner(AreaIDPlayerName)) then
      
return truePlayerName .. " already owner of Area " .. AreaID
    
else
      -- 
add new Owner
      local Owners 
AreaPlugin.IniFile:GetValue(AreaPlugin:GetAreaKey(AreaID), "Owners")
      
Owners Owners .. '"' .. PlayerName .. '",'
      
AreaPlugin.IniFile:SetValue(AreaPlugin:GetAreaKey(AreaID), "Owners"Ownersfalse)
    
end
  end
