Title: Can't Create files
Post by: M4Carbine on February 05, 2010, 04:16:01 PM

I just wanted to try making a simplest script using Files.
I wanted to make a script that writes " mode=1" in a GameMode.ini file, which is present in GAME FILE.

The problem I face is :
Script doesn't make a GAME file and its sub-file GameMode.ini
Please help :(
Here is the code:

Code Select



//files Declerations
#define GAME_FILE           "/mode/%s"
#define GameMode            "/mode/GAME/GameMode"

new file[128];

//commands starts here
	if (strcmp(cmd, "modeon", true) == 0) {
		format(file,sizeof(file),GAME_FILE,GameMode);
	    if(dini_Exists(file)) {
	    	SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "FILE IS ALREADY CREATED");
	    	dini_Set(file,"mode", "1");
	    }
	    else {
	    	dini_Create(file);
	    	SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREEN, "FILE IS NOW CREATED");
	    	dini_Set(file,"mode", "1");
	    }
		SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREEN, "GAME MODE STARTED");
	}

You're sure you've created the mode folder in your Gamemodes folder? And also the GAME folder in the mode folder?

EDIT: By looking at

Code Select


format(file,sizeof(file),GAME_FILE,GameMode)

I guess it will look for the file called: /mode/mode/GAME/GameMode (yes double /mode)

not /mode/GAME/GameMode.ini

(Although i've never scripted in pawno I think this is what is going wrong)

Easy... as long there is no file type it cannot make it :)
You want him to create a file without any type, so it
does not create it...

Just change:

Code Select

#define GameMode "/mode/GAME/GameMode"

To:

Code Select

#define GameMode "/mode/GAME/GameMode.ini"

And it should create the file... Just don't to forget what type it should have,
you can even found an own one... .myfile, .gm, .... etcetera.

I used .ini at the end just as you said, but its still not making files and folders.

I made GAME folder manually too but still I am not able to figure out why scripts are not making .ini file.

BTW where will it make the file in my GTA VC Folder?

1. -->in C:/GTA VC/scriptfiles/mode/GAME ?
2. -->or somewhere else?

Pawno is not able to create folders, Only files.
So create the folders first
