hey this is my first time working with keyvalues and its not working..

i need it to write a new section with the client's steamid but it doesn't

here's the code:

public OnClientAuthorized(client)
{
	if (!FileExists(Path))
	{
		return;
	}
	
	GetClientAuthString(client, SteamID, sizeof(SteamID));
	
	decl Handle:kv;
	kv = CreateKeyValues("kills");
	FileToKeyValues(kv, Path);
	
	if (!KvJumpToKey(kv, SteamID, true))
	{
		CloseHandle(kv);
		return;
	}
	CloseHandle(kv);
}

this is how my i want my file to look:

"kills"
{
	"STEAM_0:0:1"
	{
		"killcount"	"1"
	}
}

any help would be much appreciated

Hi, I don't think you're writign the key anywhere.

In the
if (!KvJumpToKey(kv, SteamID, true))
block, you should create the key if it doesn't exist, ELSE update the current value.

At least I think so.

i can give you a basic layout from one of my plugins. you will need to modify this tho to get it working.


GetClientAuthString(Client, SteamId, 32);
Vault = CreateKeyValues("Vault");
FileToKeyValues(Vault, DoorPath);

//load number of doors owned
for(new X = 0; X < MAXDOORS; X++)
{
IntToString(X, Key, 32);

KvJumpToKey(Vault, Key, false);
temp = KvGetNum(Vault, SteamId, 0);
KvRewind(Vault);
}
CloseHandle(Vault);

//load number of props spawned
Vault = CreateKeyValues("Vault");
FileToKeyValues(Vault, PropPath);
KvJumpToKey(Vault, "props", false);
temp = KvGetNum(Vault, SteamId, 0);
propsSpawned[Client] = temp;
CloseHandle(Vault);

//this is how i would save the values
//Map Start:
public OnMapStart()
{
BuildPath(Path_SM, DoorPath, 64, "data/roleplay/doors.txt");
if(FileExists(DoorPath) == false) PrintToConsole(0, "[SM] ERROR: Missing file '%s'", DoorPath);
}
