Saving files, explanation?

[xDagunLP]

Hi,
so I'm new in lua and I don't get the saving stuff because there is no quiet good tutorial on the internet, atleast I didn't find one!

So I watched a youtube tutorial and I have this stuff. What is wrong?

CLIENTSIDE
[LUA]
TAmount = LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("pass")
DAmount = LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("pass")
[/Lua]

SERVER SIDE
[LUA]
function Initialize()
if not file.IsDir( "pass", "DATA" ) then
file.CreateDir("pass", "DATA" )
end
end
hook.Add("Initialize","InitializePass", Initialize)

function LoadData(ply)
local userDataFile = "pass/"..ply:UniqueID()..".txt"
if file.Exists(userDataFile, "DATA") then
local playerData = util.JSONToTable(file.Read(userDataFile, "DATA") )
file.Write(userDataFile, util.TableToJSON(playerData))
else
pass = {
TAmount = 0,
DAmount = 0,
steamid = ply:SteamID()
}
file.Write(userDataFile, util.TableToJSON(pass))
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn","LoadPlayerData",LoadData)

function SaveData(ply)
local userDataFile = "pass/"..ply:UniqueID()..".txt"
ply:SetNWInt("TAmount", TAmount)
ply:SetNWInt("DAmount", DAmount)
end
hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected","SavePlayerData", SaveData)
[/LUA]

I don't get any error message, but neither do the files save. When I join my saved files stay the same.

All bests

You are setting into TAmount and DAmount, yet you are retrieving pass twice. Looks like a typo.

[xDagunLP]

How can I retrive it once?
Because I have no clue how to connect TAmount with the written data.

LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("TAmount")

[xDagunLP]

I'm trying right now.

[editline]26th January 2017[/editline]

It doesn't work.
I tried
[LUA]
TAmount = LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("TAmount")
// and
LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("TAmount")
[/LUA]
But it doesn't save. My save function is most likly false.

Im trying something out but with failure. The code is above on my first post.

Feel free to be nice and give me an idea of how I could / should do it.
:)

[c👌de_g🎷]

Can you post more code context? Also, are you getting it after you set it?

Server side script
[LUA]
function Initialize()
if not file.IsDir( "pass", "DATA" ) then
file.CreateDir("pass", "DATA" )
end
end
hook.Add("Initialize","InitializePass", Initialize)

function LoadData(ply)
local userDataFile = "pass/"..ply:UniqueID()..".txt"
if file.Exists(userDataFile, "DATA") then
local playerData = util.JSONToTable(file.Read(userDataFile, "DATA") )
file.Write(userDataFile, util.TableToJSON(playerData))
else
pass = {
TAmount = 0,
DAmount = 0,
steamid = ply:SteamID()
}
file.Write(userDataFile, util.TableToJSON(pass))
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn","LoadPlayerData",LoadData)

function SaveData(ply)
local userDataFile = "pass/"..ply:UniqueID()..".txt"
local playerData = util.JSONToTable(file.Read(userDataFile, "DATA") )

end
hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected","SavePlayerData", SaveData)
[/LUA]

CLIENT SIDE
[LUA]
TAmount = LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("TAmount")
DAmount = LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("DAmount")
// Underneath this code there are bunch of codes changing the value of above
[/LUA]

[c👌de_g🎷]

You just reposted the code from earlier; can you give more clientside context?

[editline]26th January 2017[/editline]

Also, you broke SaveData since you're setting the NWInt to a filepath, not TAmount or DAmount.

Don't store TAmount and DAmount outside of the function; call it every time so if it updates, the client sees the updated value.

Now I tried something out and I read the wiki more than once but I have this code and it still prints me that
[LUA] Error: Trying to network (receive) unacceptable type (table) [/LUA]
Even though I sended only 1 value?

Server side
[LUA]
function Initialize()
if not file.IsDir( "pass", "DATA" ) then
file.CreateDir("pass", "DATA" )
end
end
hook.Add("Initialize","InitializePass", Initialize)

function LoadData(ply)
local userDataFile = "pass/"..ply:UniqueID()..".txt"
if file.Exists(userDataFile, "DATA") then
local playerData = util.JSONToTable(file.Read(userDataFile, "DATA") )
local TAmount = playerData.TAmount
local DAmount = playerData.DAmount
ply:SetNWInt("TAmount",TAmount)
ply:SetNWInt("DAmount",DAmount)
else
pass = {
TAmount = 0,
DAmount = 0,
steamid = ply:SteamID()
}
file.Write(userDataFile, util.TableToJSON(pass))
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn","LoadPlayerData",LoadData)

function SaveData(ply)
local userDataFile = "pass/"..ply:UniqueID()..".txt"
local pass = {
TAmount = ply:GetNWInt("TAmount"),
DAmount = ply:GetNWInt("DAmount"),
steamid = ply:SteamID()
}
file.Write(userDataFile, util.TableToJSON(pass))
end
hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected","SavePlayerData", SaveData)
[/LUA]

Client side
[LUA]
TAmount = LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("TAmount")
DAmount = LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("DAmount")
// Bunch of code, same as above
function sendBackData(ply)
ply:SetNWInt("TAmount",TAmount)
ply:SetNWInt("DAmount",DAmount)
end
hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected","sendBackData",sendBackData)
[/LUA]

[editline]26th January 2017[/editline]

I loaded the file and converted it into a lua table.
It's called playerData and I took one value -> playerData.TAmount

I sended that value to the client but it tells me that I can't send a table, but I am not?

Im thinking to much in C, maybe.
But I can't find the error myself.

[editline]26th January 2017[/editline]

I haven't found any solution yet.

Help please :C

You could also just you PData instead of writing it as a file, and you need to take into consideration that on a mapchange the players dont get disconnected, you need to hook something to GM:ShutDown

Edit: And you cant set a SetNW* Clientside, it will only set it on the client and not on a server, if you want to send something to the server you need to use concommands or the net library
