So, i've been reading bugsy's tutorial on how to save and load data using nVault. I understand how to save and load a single array, but i have more than 1 array to save & load. The thing is i want to use formatex and use nvault_set just once to save the data. I'm not even sure if i can use nvault_set multiple times to save multiple arrays.

my current code (Code which doesn't work when i change map)

PHP Code:

public client_disconnect(id)
{
    new szAuth[35], szTemp[60]; 
    get_user_authid(id, szAuth, charsmax(szAuth));
    
    formatex(szTemp, charsmax(szTemp), "%i#%i#%i", iPoints[id], iTsKilled[id], iCtKilled[id]);
    
    nvault_set(szVaultName, szAuth, szTemp);
}

public client_connect(id)
{
    new szAuth[35], szTemp[60], szTsKills[33], szCtKills[33], szPoints[33];
    get_user_authid(id, szAuth, charsmax(szAuth));
    
    formatex(szTemp, charsmax(szTemp), "%i#%i#%i", iPoints[id], iTsKilled[id], iCtKilled[id]);
    nvault_get(szVaultName, szAuth, szTemp);
    
    replace_all(szTemp, charsmax(szTemp), "#", " ");
    
    parse(szTemp, szTsKills, charsmax(szTsKills), charsmax(szCtKills), szPoints, charsmax(szPoints));
    
    iTsKilled[id] = str_to_num(szTsKills);
    iCtKilled[id] = str_to_num(szCtKills);
    iPoints[id] = str_to_num(szPoints);
}

A key is unique in a vault, so you cannot save multiple items under the same key..the last nvault_set() will overwrite all the previous ones. This is the whole idea behind nvault array, allowing you to save multiple pieces of data under a single key.

Looking at your code it seems as if your mindset is that the variable name has a bearing on the type of data you are saving and retrieving, and this is not the case.

The only thing the nvault module sees is:

nvault_get( vault id , string variable , string variable , length )
nvault_set( vault id , string variable , string variable )

Okay so my second thought wasn't good either, thanks for explaining. Could u tell me what's wrong in my first code which doesn't save or load my values properly?

public client_disconnect(id)
{
    new szAuth[35], szTemp[60]; 
    get_user_authid(id, szAuth, charsmax(szAuth));
    
    formatex(szTemp, charsmax(szTemp), "%i#%i#%i", iPoints[id], iTsKilled[id], iCtKilled[id]);
    
    nvault_set(szVaultName, szAuth, szTemp);
}

get_user_authid() should not be called until client_authorized()
public client_connect(id)
{
    new szAuth[35], szTemp[60], szTsKills[33], szCtKills[33], szPoints[33];
    get_user_authid(id, szAuth, charsmax(szAuth));
    
    It makes no sense to format this string since it gets immediately overwritten with what nvault_get() retrieves from the vault
    formatex(szTemp, charsmax(szTemp), "%i#%i#%i", iPoints[id], iTsKilled[id], iCtKilled[id]);
    nvault_get(szVaultName, szAuth, szTemp);
    
    replace_all(szTemp, charsmax(szTemp), "#", " ");

    You are missing the szCtKills variable before charsmax(szCtKills)
    parse(szTemp, szTsKills, charsmax(szTsKills), charsmax(szCtKills), szPoints, charsmax(szPoints));
    
    iTsKilled[id] = str_to_num(szTsKills);
    iCtKilled[id] = str_to_num(szCtKills);
    iPoints[id] = str_to_num(szPoints);
}

Also, I don't think there's a need to use "#" as a replacement for a whitespace. Just do "%i %i %i" directly. They're all integers, so there shouldn't be any problems.

PS: the max AuthId length is 64, not 35. You probably don't need 33 for a buffer that holds a single integer, the integer itself can't even be that big.

This doesn't work either

PHP Code:

public client_disconnect(id)
{
    new szAuth[35], szTemp[60]; 
    get_user_authid(id, szAuth, charsmax(szAuth));
    
    formatex(szTemp, charsmax(szTemp), "%i %i %i", iPoints[id], iTsKilled[id], iCtKilled[id]);
    
    nvault_set(szVaultName, szAuth, szTemp);
}

public client_authorized(id)
{
    new szAuth[64], szTemp[20], szTsKills[5], szCtKills[5], szPoints[10];
    get_user_authid(id, szAuth, charsmax(szAuth));
    
    nvault_get(szVaultName, szAuth, szTsKills, szCtKills, szPoints);
    
    parse(szTemp, szPoints, charsmax(szPoints), szTsKills, charsmax(szTsKills), szCtKills, charsmax(szCtKills));
    
    iPoints[id] = str_to_num(szPoints);
    iTsKilled[id] = str_to_num(szTsKills);
    iCtKilled[id] = str_to_num(szCtKills);
}

Thanks, it worked. Also, i see someone else has done the job i was working on before me and used another method, which one is better and more efficient to use?

There are many things in his code that need fixing/optimizing, starting from the natives that won't even work.

Yea, i figured those natives won't work. I've posted my code there too, just without natives though.
