Hello,

I've been playing around with keyvalues a bit, but am having difficulty retrieving values.
My keyvalues file looks something like this:

"MyKeyValues" { 　　　"lowerlevel" 　　　{ 　　　　　　"STEAM_0:0:123" 　　　　　　{ 　　　　　　　　　"test_1"　　　　　　"foobar" 　　　　　　　　　"test_2"　　　　　　"some value" 　　　　　　} 　　　} }

And the code (i'm trying to return the value of "test_2"):

PHP Code:

new Handle:kv = CreateKeyValues("MyKeyValues");
FileToKeyValues(kv, "addons/sourcemod/configs/mykeyvalues.kv");

new String:kvBuffer[32];

KvRewind(kv);
KvJumpToKey(kv, "STEAM_0:0:123");
KvGetString(kv, "test_2", kvBuffer, sizeof(kvBuffer), "default if not found");
KvRewind(kv);

CloseHandle(kv);

PrintToServer("kvBuffer: %s", kvBuffer); 


However, PrintToServer returns "default if not found" instead of "some value". How would I properly navigate this sort of keyvalues structure to retrieve a value?
Do I need to traverse through "lowerlevel" somehow before KvJumpToKey? I tried KvGotoFirstSubKey(kv), to no avail.

Yes, you need to traverse through "lowerlevel" before you can KvJumpToKey "STEAM_0:0:123". I'm not sure why doing KvGotoFirstSubKey first didn't work for you, though.

PHP Code:

new String:section[64];

KvRewind(kv);

KvGetSectionName(kv, section, sizeof(section));
PrintToServer("section: %s", section);

KvGotoFirstSubKey(kv); // shouldn't we be at "lowerlevel" now, not "MyKeyValues" anymore?

KvGetSectionName(kv, section, sizeof(section));
PrintToServer("section: %s", section); 


Returns:

section: MyKeyValues section: MyKeyValues

Are you sure you are loading kv file fine? Looks like your plugin can't access the file and only creates the kv. That's why it only has MyKeyValues, it has nothing else to work with. Check the boolean from

PHP Code:

FileToKeyValues(kv, "addons/sourcemod/configs/mykeyvalues.kv");

Best to never hard code a path to SM folder, use the BuildPath native.

Here's how you'd use BuildPath:

decl String:configFile[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
BuildPath(Path_SM, configFile, sizeof(configFile), "configs/mykeyvalues.cfg");

You could explicitly check if the file exists too, but the return value of FileToKeyValues should do that as well I believe.

FileToKeyValues returns true if the conversion was successful, false if it isn't. I don't know if it fails where the path would be if it failed, though.
