Note: this function is rather slow when drawing a lot of circles (e.g 25 circles took ~7ms). Of course, measure and see how it works for you, if it is slow, consider using image with alpha and directX color tint instead. - vx89

XmlCopyFile

2014-03-02T22:27:52Z

Vx89: /* Example */

__NOTOC__
{{Server client function}}
This function copies all contents of a certain node in a XML document to a new document file, so the copied node becomes the new file's root node.
The new file will not be saved to file system until [[xmlSaveFile]]() is called

==Syntax==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
xmlnode xmlCopyFile ( xmlnode nodeToCopy, string newFilePath )
</syntaxhighlight>

===Required Arguments===
*'''nodeToCopy:''' the [[xmlnode]] that is to be copied to a new document.
*'''newFilePath:''' the path of the file that is to be created, in the following format: '''":resourceName/path"'''. 'resourceName' is the name of the resource the file is in, and 'path' is the path from the root directory of the resource to the file.
:For example, to create a file named 'newfile.xml' with myNode as the root node in the resource 'ctf', it can be done from another resource this way: ''xmlCopyFile(myNode, ":ctf/newfile.xml")''.
:If the file is to be in the current resource, only the file path is necessary, e.g. ''xmlCopyFile(myNode, "newfile.xml")''.

===Returns===
Returns the [[xmlnode]] of the copy if the node was successfully copied, ''false'' if invalid arguments were passed.

==Example==
In this example we will load an xml file (in the example config.xml) and create a copy in a new folder with the name of copy-config.xml:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
local config = xmlLoadFile("config.xml")
-- create a copy of xml structure in memory
local newFile = xmlCopyFile(config, "copy/copy-config.xml")
if newFile then
-- write this new copy to a filesystem
xmlSaveFile(newFile)
end
-- unload config xml node from memory if it will not be used anytime soon
xmlUnloadFile(config)
</syntaxhighlight>
