XmlDeleteData

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]]	Important Note: This is an unofficial MTA function, so its not included into the game by default. Its an exported function of the xmlData resource. To access this function you need to have the resource running on your server.

This function provides a way of deleting a XML file created by xmlSaveData
To call it, see the call function or the tip in this resources page: Simplifying the export

Info

For proper deletion you need to pass the same booleans / securityLevel as you did on xmlSaveData.
If you called xmlSaveData with passing the securityLevel its recommended to pick securityLevel as function paremeter for the deletion as well.

Client

bool xmlDeleteData ( string fileName [, bool serverProtected = true, bool resourceProtected = false ] )

bool xmlDeleteData ( string fileName [, int securityLevel = 4 ] )

Required Arguments

• fileName: The name of the file you want to delete.

Optional Arguments

• serverProtected: If set to true it can only delete the file of the creator-server, otherwise it doesn't care which server created it.
• resourceProtected: If set to true it can only delete the file of the creator-resource, otherwise it doesn't care which resource created it.

or

• securityLevel: The level of security on which your data is stored at. (Details on the resource page: Security Levels)

See xmlData Variables and Specified names for more detail.

Returns

Returns true if successful, false and a debug output in case if failure.

Note: There is no encryption parameter in this function, because xmlDeleteData will auto-search for and delete the key of encrypted files.

Example

Client

-- Lets assume we have created a resourceProtected-only file called "settings" already.
local xml = exports.xmlData
xml:xmlDeleteData("settings", false, true) -- not serverProtected, but resourceProtected
-- OR
xml:xmlDeleteData("settings", 1) -- securityLevel 1 equals not serverProtected, unencrypted, but resouceProtected - the encryption bool will be ignored at xmlDeleteData
