Overwriting Object Variables?

PHP Code:


		
			
public function saveChar( charID )

{

  temp.filePath = ( "mud/playerdata/data/" @ this.account @ "_" @ temp.charID @ ".arc" );



  if ( temp.charID in |1, 3| )

  {

    if ( this.charExists( temp.filePath ) )

    {

    for ( temp.var: this.clientr.getDynamicVarNames() )

      {

        if ( !temp.var.ends( "ID" ) )

        {

          temp.clientVars.add( temp.var );

        }

      }

      temp.savedChar = new TStaticVar();

      temp.savedChar.loadVarsFromArray( temp.clientVars );



      for ( temp.theseVars: temp.savedChar.getDynamicVarNames() )

      {

          temp.savedChar.( @ temp.theseVars ) = makevar( "temp.savedChar." @ temp.theseVars );

      }

    

      temp.savedChar.charLevel = this.level.name;

      temp.savedChar.charXPos = this.y;

      temp.savedChar.charYPos = this.x;



      temp.savedChar.saveVars( temp.filePath, 0 );

    }

    else

    {

      echo ( "***Mud Control: Character does not exist! Character must exist before saving!" );

    }

  }

  else

  {

    echo ( "***Mud Control: Invalid character ID! Character could not be saved!" );

  }

}

Code's up that a-way ^ !

Now the problem I am having is this, I preset a var named "mudaccount" in a different function and it saves it into the text file perfectly fine listing the Admin-Playerworld145 account as the mudaccount (account I'm testing with ).

But, when I use the above function it seems to overwrite mudaccount and make it equal 1. I've tried using the append function as well but that doesn't help.

Anyone see an issue?

Load the variables, change whatever needs to be changed and save it again.

What exactly do you think I'm doing?

E: It's not even a matter of what I need to change inside the text file but what I need to add to it. >.>

Apparently not what I told you to do.

Say I have (Apple = 1), and (Bannana = 2) saved in ("mud/food"). To edit one of them without overwriting the whole file this is what I have to do.

PHP Code:


		
			
this.newInfo.loadVars("mud/food");

this.newInfo.Bannana = 3;

this.newInfo.saveVars("mud/food", false);

That would change the bannana value to 3, and wont do anything to the apple.

Edit to respond to the post above:
Ok if you want to add something then my method will still work.

PHP Code:


		
			
this.newInfo.loadVars("mud/food");

this.newInfo.Pie = 5;

this.newInfo.saveVars("mud/food", false);

Would add 'Pie' to the file, and will leave everything else alone.

To sum it all up just add this:

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.savedChar.loadVars(temp.filepath);

Before:

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.savedChar.loadVarsFromArray( temp.clientVars );

Ah, thanks Rapid. Novo sort of made me realize it was a bit over complicated to begin with.

So I basically dumbed it down and did what you said and it works fine. :]

Edit:

Ah, a new issue arises, following what you said I then tried to save the clientr strings as well along with everything else, It works with append but not with overwrite. But that's ok.

Thanks for the help man.
