Key Values File Not Created!

Sharpie_LaBeouf · **Author**

For some reason when writing my plugin in Source Pawn, the KeyValues file is not being created! This is my code:

Code:

static String:cpPath[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];

public OnPluginStart()
{
	CreateDirectory("addons/sourcemod/data/playerinfo", 511);
	BuildPath(Path_SM, cpPath, sizeof(cpPath), "data/playerinfo/checkPoints.txt");
}

public cpMenuCallBack(Handle:menu3,MenuAction:action, Client, Position)
{
	if(action == MenuAction_Select)
	{
		PrintToChat(Client, cpPath);
		new String:Item[20];
		GetMenuItem(menu3, Position, Item, sizeof(Item));
		DisplayMenu(cpMenu,Client,MENU_TIME_FOREVER);
		
		new Handle:cpDB = CreateKeyValues("CheckPoints");
		
		decl String:steamID[30];
		GetClientAuthString(Client, steamID, sizeof(steamID));
		
		if(StrEqual(Item,"saveCP"))
		{
			new Float:tempMapLoc[3];
			new Float:tempMapAng[3];
			new String:tl1[20], String:tl2[20], String:tl3[20], String:ta1[20], String:ta2[20], String:ta3[20];
		
			GetClientAbsOrigin(Client, tempMapLoc);
			GetClientAbsAngles(Client, tempMapAng);
			
			FloatToString(tempMapLoc[0], tl1, sizeof(tl1));
			FloatToString(tempMapLoc[1], tl2, sizeof(tl2));
			FloatToString(tempMapLoc[2], tl3, sizeof(tl3));
			FloatToString(tempMapAng[0], ta1, sizeof(ta1));
			FloatToString(tempMapAng[1], ta2, sizeof(ta2));
			FloatToString(tempMapAng[2], ta3, sizeof(ta3));
			
			FileToKeyValues(cpDB, cpPath);
			
			if(KvJumpToKey(cpDB, steamID, true)){
				KvSetString(cpDB, "lx", tl1);
				KvSetString(cpDB, "lz", tl2);
				KvSetString(cpDB, "ly", tl3);
				KvSetString(cpDB, "ax", ta1);
				KvSetString(cpDB, "az", ta2);
				KvSetString(cpDB, "ay", ta3);
				PrintToChat(Client, "[GetRightMate] You Saved Your Checkpoint!");
			}else{
				PrintToChat(Client, "[GetRightMate] Saving Your Checkpoint Failed!");
			}
		}else if(StrEqual(Item,"loadCP")){
		
			FileToKeyValues(cpDB, cpPath);
			
			if(KvJumpToKey(cpDB, steamID, true))
			{
				new String:l1[MAX_NAME_LENGTH], String:l2[MAX_NAME_LENGTH], String:l3[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
				new String:a1[MAX_NAME_LENGTH], String:a2[MAX_NAME_LENGTH], String:a3[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
				
				KvGetString(cpDB, "lx", l1, sizeof(l1), "NULL");
				KvGetString(cpDB, "lz", l2, sizeof(l2), "NULL");
				KvGetString(cpDB, "ly", l3, sizeof(l3), "NULL");
				KvGetString(cpDB, "ax", a1, sizeof(a1), "NULL");
				KvGetString(cpDB, "az", a2, sizeof(a2), "NULL");
				KvGetString(cpDB, "ay", a3, sizeof(a3), "NULL");
				
				if(StrEqual(l1, "NULL",false) && StrEqual(l2, "NULL",false) && StrEqual(l3, "NULL",false))
				{
					PrintToChat(Client, "[GetRightMate] No Location Saved! Save a Location To Use This Feature!");
				} else{
					new Float:location[3];
					new Float:angle[3];
					new Float:vel[3];
					location[0] = StringToFloat(l1);
					location[1] = StringToFloat(l2);
					location[2] = StringToFloat(l3);
					vel[0] = 0.00;
					vel[1] = 0.00;
					vel[2] = 0.00;
					angle[0] = StringToFloat(a1);
					angle[1] = StringToFloat(a2);
					angle[2] = StringToFloat(a3);
					
					TeleportEntity(Client, location, angle, vel);
					PrintToChat(Client, "[GetRightMate] Loaded CheckPoint!");
					
					location[0] = 0.00;
					location[1] = 0.00;
					location[2] = 0.00;
					vel[0] = 0.00;
					vel[1] = 0.00;
					vel[2] = 0.00;
					angle[0] = 0.00;
					angle[1] = 0.00;
					angle[2] = 0.00;
				}
				
			}
		
		}
		CloseHandle(cpDB);
	}
}

There is no Key Values file being created which is really poo

Can someone please help me find out why my file is not being created?

Are you saving it?

Ok so after I have done everything I do

Code:

KeyValuesToFile(cpDB,cpPath);

PHP Code:


			
KeyValuesToFile(cpDB,cpPath);

but You must do it before

PHP Code:


			
CloseHandle(cpDB);

Also when I go to retrieve this information from the file, I receive nothing from it. Do I have to use a different method such as FileToKeyValues()?

When one client makes a Key Value and Saves their position it creates it fine and they can successfully teleport to it. But when someone else on the server saves a checkpoint, it overwrites the first players and saves the second players whilst deleting the first players save. Its not creating a new key value, it is simply overwriting the first one. How can I fix this? this is my code now:

Code:

public saveOrigin(client)
{
	new Handle:cpDB = CreateKeyValues("CheckPoints");
	new String:steamID[30];
	GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_Steam3,steamID, sizeof(steamID));
	
	new Float:tempMapLoc[3];
	new Float:tempMapAng[3];
	new String:tl1[20], String:tl2[20], String:tl3[20], String:ta1[20], String:ta2[20], String:ta3[20];

	GetClientAbsOrigin(client, tempMapLoc);
	GetClientAbsAngles(client, tempMapAng);
	
	FloatToString(tempMapLoc[0], tl1, sizeof(tl1));
	FloatToString(tempMapLoc[1], tl2, sizeof(tl2));
	FloatToString(tempMapLoc[2], tl3, sizeof(tl3));
	FloatToString(tempMapAng[0], ta1, sizeof(ta1));
	FloatToString(tempMapAng[1], ta2, sizeof(ta2));
	FloatToString(tempMapAng[2], ta3, sizeof(ta3));
	
	if(KvJumpToKey(cpDB, steamID, true)){
		KvSetString(cpDB, "lx", tl1);
		KvSetString(cpDB, "lz", tl2);
		KvSetString(cpDB, "ly", tl3);
		KvSetString(cpDB, "ax", ta1);
		KvSetString(cpDB, "az", ta2);
		KvSetString(cpDB, "ay", ta3);
		PrintToChat(client, "[GetRightMate] You Saved Your Checkpoint!");
		
		KvRewind(cpDB);
		KeyValuesToFile(cpDB, cpPath);
		CloseHandle(cpDB);
	}else{
		PrintToChat(client, "[GetRightMate] Saving Your Checkpoint Failed!");
	}
}

public loadOrigin(client)
{
	new Handle:cpDB = CreateKeyValues("CheckPoints");
	new String:steamID[30];
	GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_Steam3,steamID, sizeof(steamID));
	FileToKeyValues(cpDB, cpPath);
	
	new String:l1[MAX_NAME_LENGTH], String:l2[MAX_NAME_LENGTH], String:l3[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
	new String:a1[MAX_NAME_LENGTH], String:a2[MAX_NAME_LENGTH], String:a3[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
	
	if(KvJumpToKey(cpDB, steamID, true))
	{
		KvGetString(cpDB, "lx", l1, sizeof(l1), "NULL");
		KvGetString(cpDB, "lz", l2, sizeof(l2), "NULL");
		KvGetString(cpDB, "ly", l3, sizeof(l3), "NULL");
		KvGetString(cpDB, "ax", a1, sizeof(a1), "NULL");
		KvGetString(cpDB, "az", a2, sizeof(a2), "NULL");
		KvGetString(cpDB, "ay", a3, sizeof(a3), "NULL");
		
		if(StrEqual(l1, "NULL",false) && StrEqual(l2, "NULL",false) && StrEqual(l3, "NULL",false))
		{
			PrintToChat(client, "[GetRightMate] No Location Saved!");
		} else{
			new Float:location[3];
			new Float:angle[3];
			new Float:vel[3];
			location[0] = StringToFloat(l1);
			location[1] = StringToFloat(l2);
			location[2] = StringToFloat(l3);
			vel[0] = 0.00;
			vel[1] = 0.00;
			vel[2] = 0.00;
			angle[0] = StringToFloat(a1);
			angle[1] = StringToFloat(a2);
			angle[2] = StringToFloat(a3);
			
			PrintToChat(client, l1);

			vel[1] = 0.00;
			vel[2] = 0.00;
			angle[0] = 0.00;
			angle[1] = 0.00;
			angle[2] = 0.00;
