save coordinates of the player

[RedWo]

Saving coordinates player when exiting.
And teleport players to these coordinates in the spawn.
What am I doing wrong?

local function spawn( ply )
	print( ply:Nick().. " has spawned!." )
	ply:SetPos(ply:GetPData("SavePos") or nil)
end
hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "TheSpawn", spawn )




local function onDisc( ply )
	print( ply:Nick().. " has exit!!!!" )
	ply:SetPData("SavePos", ply:GetPos())
end
hook.Add( "PlayerDisconnected", "TheExit", onDisc )

Well, if they exit, the pdata gets removed, doesn't it?

[B]EDIT:[/B] Nevermind, I think it doesn't get removed, maybe this code works on multiplayer but not on singleplayer since you're creating a different server each time or something? I don't know..

You can't write a Vector to SQL. You need to serialize it first.

How can i do this?

[KTBM]

Perhaps save the players xpos, ypos and zpos separately then when you spawn them in do something like
[lua]ply:SetPos( xpos, ypos, zpos ) [/lua]
and when saving a vector
[lua]
local pos = ply:GetPos()
xpos = pos.x
ypos = pos.y
zpos = pos.z
[/lua]
there might be a better way to do this but idk.

When saving the position of the player use [IMG]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/IMG] [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/util/TypeToString"]util.TypeToString[/URL] on the vector.

And when setting the position of the player, use [IMG]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/IMG] [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/util/StringToType"]util.StringToType[/URL] on the pdata, though make sure what you what get from it isn't nil before you try to set the position of the player.
