savelines
 

Having trouble with savelines and the only thing I found from forum search is one thread that didnt quite explain it (Although i tried to user similar style).

Anyways I am trying to write to a file on the server, and when it creates the file it creates it as an empty file, and later nothing is added either.

I have tried it both clientside and serverside and the file created is 0kb

I have done it from the onCreated and onActionserverside.

Not so sure if this is a bug or If I am doing something wrong.

NPC Code:

---

function onActionServerside() {

 if (params[0] == 0) {

  write = params[1];

  write.savelines("test.txt", 0);

 }

}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onplayerchats() {

 test = player.chat;

 triggeraction(playerx, playery, "serverside", "James/Test", 0, test);

}

---

That should work.
'write' may be predefined, that's the only reason I can think of for it not to work. You could also try sending player.chat directly, but I don't see why test would be predefined. :/

Changed the variable names and have also sent player.chat directly as you suggested, I still am getting a 0 on the filesize, and nothing is being written.

This is not only on the serverside but clientside as well.

I also restarted my gserver and npcserver when i was testing this intially.

It is possible that savelines only works with arrays.

Try loading the lines before you save them.

May be you use savestring()
savelines() is saving an array, you would need to add() something before.

I didnt see this documented anywhere, guess now that its here this will help someone else, but yeah using an array did fix it.

Thanks
