Returns
Returns a double if it was successfully read from the file, false otherwise.

ServerThis snippet demonstrates a basic binary object map format. It can be extended to support more parameters.
-- Grab some objects to store into our map.
local storeObjects = getElementsByType( "object" );
-- Function to store data about objects.
local function saveObjects( theFile, objects )
-- Write the amount of entries into the stream.
theFile.writeShort( #objects );
-- Now add every object into it.
for m,n in ipairs( objects ) do
local posX, posY, posZ = getElementPosition( n );
local rotX, rotY, rotZ = getElementRotation( n );
local model = getElementModel( n );
local dimension, interior = getElementDimension( n ), getElementInterior( n );
-- Write the parameters of the object into the stream.
theFile:writeDouble( posX ); theFile:writeDouble( posY ); theFile:writeDouble( posZ );
theFile:writeDouble( rotX ); theFile:writeDouble( rotY ); theFile:writeDouble( rotZ );
theFile:writeShort( model );
theFile:writeShort( dimension ); theFile:writeShort( interior );
end
end
-- Function to load back data from a file stream.
local function loadObjects( theFile )
-- Get the amount of entries.
local objectCount = theFile:readShort();
-- Create the objects.
local n = 1;
while ( n <= objectCount ) do
local posX, posY, posZ = theFile:readDouble(), theFile:readDouble(), theFile:readDouble();
local rotX, rotY, rotZ = theFile:readDouble(), theFile:readDouble(), theFile:readDouble();
local model = theFile:readShort();
local dimension, interior = theFile:readShort(), theFile:readShort();
-- Create this particular object, if all values are properly read.
-- We can optimize this condition by checking the last value that was read.
if ( interior ) then
local object = createObject( model, posX, posY, posZ, rotX, rotY, rotZ );
if ( object ) then
-- Continue applying advanced properties of creation of object succeeded.
setElementDimension( object, dimension );
setElementInterior( object, interior );
end
end
end
end
-- Save our current objects into a file.
local saveFile = fileCreate( "world_objects.dat" );
saveObjects( saveFile, storeObjects );
-- todo: maybe load the objects.
