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 = false ] )
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
NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see 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 mapFile = xmlCreateFile("saved.map", "map")
if mapFile then
saveMapData(mapFile, resourceRoot)
xmlSaveFile(mapFile)
xmlUnloadFile(mapFile)
end
