This function is used to return the root node of a configuration file. Config files must be predefined in a resource's meta file. An alternative way to load XML files is to use xmlLoadFile.
Syntax
xmlnode getResourceConfig ( [resource theResource = getThisResource()], string filename )
Required Arguments
- filename: The exact file name of the configuration file. (e.g. "file.xml" )
Optional Arguments
- theResource: The resource from which the function calls the configuration file
Returns
Returns the root node of the specified configuration file. If the file is corrupted, not defined in the meta file or doesn't exist, returns false.
Example
This example opens a configuration file and prints the value of the 'attr' attribute of the first 'group' node.
function resourceStart ( theResource ) -- When a resource is started
if ( theResource == getThisResource () ) then -- and the resource is this one
node = getResourceConfig( theResource, "config.xml" ) -- get the configuration file
local subNode = xmlFindSubNode( node, "group", 1 ) -- get a subnode in it
outputChatBox( xmlNodeGetAttribute( node, "attr" ) ) -- output its attributes value to chatbox
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(), resourceStart )
