Saving CreateObject() in a .txt file? - Shetch - 25.06.2015

I have decided to make an in-game map editor which would load/save projects in the scriptfiles folder. It would save player created maps in the same format as they are used in scripts.

For example:

Код:

CreateObject(param, param, param, param...);
CreateObject(param, param, param, param...);
CreateObject(param, param, param, param...);
CreateObject(param, param, param, param...);
CreateObject(param, param, param, param...);

I was wondering what file saving include would be best to use for this? Is it possible with INI saving includes?

pawn Код:

// example  SaveToFile("objs.txt","CreateObject(param, param, param, param...);");


stock SaveToFile(path[],text[]){
    new File:handle = fopen(path, io_append);
    if(handle)
    {
        new sOut[1024];
        format(sOut,1024,"%s\r\n",text);
        fwrite(handle,sOut);
        fclose(handle);
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}

you could use format first for the text[] argument and save that way.

this function will append to the file each time it is called,
if no file is created it will first create it.,

How would I go about loading the saved objects? I'm new to SA-MP's default file functions...

personally i would use sqlite or mysql
but to read a file you use fread

Yea, I was thinking of using MySQL, but the map editor I expect to be used by mappers and they wouldn't bother installing XAMPP or any other MySQL private server software just to use a map editor, you know.

Thanks anyways!

sqlite is native to samp.
heres what mine look like

its from 2012 but it will give you an idea

mine was not really a map editor,
youd have to add code to make projects

good luck with it.
