Mudlib issue:

[Chandler]

Any reason why it isn't storing the array correctly? it should just save the "temp.newData" part as an array, however it refuses to do so! Any suggestions?

function onCreated()
  {
  this.itemName = "Black Sword";
  this.itemDescription = "This great sword, once held by the almighty Chandler!";
  this.itemImage = "block.png";
  this.itemPrice = 300000;

  this.weaponName = "+Sword";
  this.causeEffect = {{"Poison", "Ice", "Fire"}, {100, 75, 75}};  
  
  for (temp.itemData: getstringkeys("this."))
    temp.itemData.add(temp.itemData @"="@ makevar(@"this."@ temp.itemData));
  
  temp.newData = new TGraalVar();
  makevar(@"temp.newData.item-"@ this.itemName) = temp.itemData;
  temp.newData.savevars("itemData/newItem.arc", 0);   
   
  }

    temp.itemData.add(temp.itemData @"="@ makevar(@"this."@ temp.itemData));
  
  temp.newData = new TGraalVar();
  makevar(@"temp.newData.item-"@ this.itemName) = temp.itemData;
  temp.newData.savevars("itemData/newItem.arc", 0);   
   
  }

Right here:

  for (temp.itemData: getstringkeys("this."))
    temp.itemData.add(temp.itemData @"="@ makevar(@"this."@ temp.itemData));

You might want to change this to something like:

for (temp.data: getstringkeys("this."))
    temp.itemData.add(temp.data @"="@ makevar(@"this."@ temp.data));

Using the same name as the variable in the foreach and as the variable you're adding too will not work as expected.

Changing to that makes this file on the server for me:

item-Black Sword="causeEffect=""Poison,Ice,Fire"",""100,75,75""","itemDescription=This great sword, once held by the almighty Chandler!",itemImage=block.png,"itemName=Black Sword",itemPrice=300000,weaponName=+Sword
joinedclasses=
scriptlogmissingfunctions=false
timeout=0

To save an array you normally need to use savelines(). I am not sure for what also those makevars are used (e.g. you should write

PHP Code:

temp.newData.("item-"@ this.itemName) = temp.itemData; 


). "new TGraalVar()" wont do anything either.

Thank you!
I see now, thanks again!

Oh, I see. I just see it being used, so I just use it.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of new TStaticVar()?

I don't think so, it could be though.

[Inverness]

TStaticVar is what you're thinking of.
TGraalVars are just the normal variables.

[zokemon]

TStaticVars let you use destroy() on them.

Yeah, I saw that when I viewed the page. Thank you two for clearing that up
