Hello,

I've this nVault that stores every player's stats. Let's say a player stats adds up (+1) every time he gets a kill with a knife.

So, every damn time player X gets a kill with the knife, it adds up to his stat. If he'd kill 5 players with the knife, his stat is now at 5. So every player gets this kind of stat saved every time he disconnects.

How can I query the highest amount from that nVault? To understand better: player X has 50 kills with the knife, Y has 25, and Z has 10. I want to create a command that says,

"Highest kills with the knife: 50 by player X". How can I retrieve the highest value from that vault?

I hope you guys understand, if not, please leave your concern.

Thanks in advance.

How are you saving data in nvault?

Let's say I'd have it saved it like this:

PHP Code:

formatex( KNIFEkills, charsmax( KNIFEkills ), "%s's kills with the knife: %d", NAME, g_KNIFEkills )

nvault_set ( myVault, KNIFEkills ) 


Not sure if you understood anything, but I used Bugsy's tutorial and example.

The only way I can think of is to loop trough all entries and sort them. If you want to do that, search for "loop nvault". I think Bugsy posted a snippet.

The more efficient and generally suggested (at least when you want to retrieve more complex results) method would be switching to SQL.

get numbers with looping nvault key of kills and save IT to a variabile.

new max = 0;
//your loop (dont know nvault natives)
//inside loop
If(max < curent_nvault_data){
max = curent_nvault_data
//also save player name/steamid to an array
}
