Information

XML files can create a database which can be accessed by Lua files. The database has to be created by declaring a typical key-value field.

Database data types

Each entry for the same data type has to use the next number. First string would be database.Strings.StringData[0].key the next string would be
database.Strings.StringData[1].key etc.

Example

<value id="database.Integers.IntData[0].key" value="instant" />
<value id="database.Floats.FloatData[0].key" value="speed" />
<value id="database.Integers.IntData[1].key" value="instant_fast" />
<value id="database.Strings.StringData[0].key" value="tower_bp"/>

Lua

To access these fields in Lua, you would use the normal commands to access the data, example:

function my_lua_function:init()
    self.my_variable_1 = self.data:GetInt("instant")
    self.my_variable_2 = self.data:GetFloat("speed")
    self.my_variable_3 = self.data:GetInt("instant_fast")
    self.my_variable_4 = self.data:GetString("tower_bp")
end

The value in the brackets, like (“speed”) is the value from the database key-value field above.
