This converts a set of elements in the element tree into XML. This is a format that can then be loaded as a map file. Each element represents a single XML node.
Syntax
bool saveMapData ( xmlnode node, element baseElement [, bool childrenOnly ] )
Required Arguments
- node: An existing node that should contain the contents of baseElement
- baseElement: The first element to output to the xml tree. This element and all its children (and their children, etc) will be output.
Optional Arguments
- childrenOnly: Defines if you want to only save children of the specified element.
Returns
Example
Saving your resource's data to an map file (untested)
local file = xmlCreateFile("saved.map", "map")
if file then
saveMapData ( file, getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()) )
xmlSaveFile ( file )
xmlUnloadFile ( file )
end
