I wanted to make a bool that get a song directory from .cfg file and then emit to all clients on an evnt, similar to quake sounds.
I tried using key values for a better & easier configuration.. But I can't understant keyvalues.. maybe I have a problem XD

PHP Code:

bool GetSank(const char[] directory, const char[] quake_sound_name)
{
    KeyValues kv = new KeyValues("Sound List");
    
    if(KvJumpToKey(kv, sound_directory, true))
    {
        KvGetString(kv, "sound_name", sank_sound_name, 64, "");
    }
} 


Usage of the bool (I hope is correct) :

GetSound(directory, sound_name);

The string "directory" and "sound_name" form second code is already created..
I hope someone will have time for me. Thanks!

The .cfg file:

"Sank_List"
{
	"file" "sound/kratos/kill.mp3"
	"name" "kill"
}

You need to build the path to your .cfg file, and then import the file into your KeyValues object.

For example:

PHP Code:

char path[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
BuildPath(Path_SM, path, sizeof(path), "configs/sank_list.cfg");

KeyValues kv = new KeyValues("Sank_List");
kv.ImportFromFile(path);

    kv.ImportFromFile(path);

    if (!kv.JumpToKey(sank_directory))
    {
        delete kv;
        return false;
    }

    kv.GetString("name", sank_sound_name, maxvalue); //line with error
    delete kv;
    return true; 


error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 3);

is ok the usage?

[backwards]

maxvalue has to be defined as an int, it's saying that you have it as a string or something other than an int

You could just replace "maxvalue" with "sizeof(sank_sound_name)" unless you want to use a different value as the length of the string. Personally I would use sizeof(string) so that you don't have to change 2 values if you want to increase/decrease the size of the buffer you use.

I still get this error: error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 3)

PHP Code:

LoadSanks(const char[] Sank_Chat_Trigger, const char[] Sank_Directory, const char[] Sank_File_Name)
{
    char file[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    BuildPath(Path_SM, file, PLATFORM_MAX_PATH, "configs/kratos/vip_sanks.cfg");
    

    KeyValues kv = new KeyValues("Sank_List");
    kv.ImportFromFile(file); 
    
    if (!kv.JumpToKey(Sank_Chat_Trigger))
    {
        delete kv;
        return false;
    }
    kv.GetString("directory", Sank_Directory, 128); //error line
    kv.GetString("file", Sank_File_Name, 128);

    return true;
}
/*
"Sank_List"
{
    "rekt"
    {
        "directory" "sound/sank/rekt.mp3"
        "file" "rekt.mp3"
    }
}
*/

Sank_Directory and Sank_File_Name are const which you are trying to write to. So remove the const for Sank_Directory and Sank_File_Name and it will work.

and the .cfg file will be like I want?
