SaveMapData

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)

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.

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
