More Missing Values

[Novo]

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
  {
  temp.var = new TStaticVar();
  temp.var.t = "0";
  temp.var.savevars( "levels/...", 0 );
  
  temp.newvar = loadvars( "levels/..." );
  echo( temp.newvar.getvarnames() );
  } 


PHP Code:

initialized,joinedclasses,name,scriptlogmissingfunctions,timeout 


Where did my Variable 't' go?!

It seems as though the string "0" becomes the integar 0 in the process, and when loaded, it is set to false, removing the variable completely.

Couldn't we claim that considering that it was saved in the savevar that it has no choice but to be a string? ( due to the fact that if it was not a string, it wouldn't have been saved in the first place )

Will temp.newvar.t not == 0 anyway, since it is an "uncreated" variable?

Yes, however, there is a difference when I want... Well, put it in context.

I want to make a system in which options are set.

PHP Code:

setting.hasStaffBoots=true 


However, if I want to remove it, I want to apply another file to an account...

PHP Code:

setting.hasStaffBoots=false 


The way to know on such ambiguous terms is through

PHP Code:

for ( i: temp.var.setting.getdynamicvarnames() )
  player.setting.(@ i ) = temp.var.setting.(@ i ); 


Because the variable is equal to false, it vanishes completely!
By cause, however, when I do the getdynamicvarnames(), it doesn't interpret the hasStaffBoots=false, and therefore, it doesn't set it to player.setting.(@ i )... Thereby, the old value remains true: the player.setting.(@ i ) doesn't get changed because the hasStaffBoots isn't part of the variable anymore.

Ultimately, there IS a difference, even though the shorthand of setting.hasStaffBoots is still equal to 0.

Err... I made an error in my debugging... It's further on in the script that it gets removed... :: continues research ::

Alright -- The error occurs in savevarstoarray( 0 ) – It doesn't save empty vars.

Setting

var.hasStaffBoots=false instead of var.hasStaffBoots=0 has changed the results to the expected ones.
