Lua Saving tables [TFS 1.2]

[Ovnyx]

hi guys,
i was wondring if it is a good idea to storage some lua tables with player information, in txt or bin file? so i can read it each time i need to use that information?

thanks in advice,
Ovnyx.

For what reason?
You can use storage values insted (storing it in the database).

yeah i tried with StorageValue but it can only store numeric values as i understand, so i founded this system:

https://otland.net/threads/lib-storing-information-items-and-players-tfs-1-2.241873/

and it works awesome because i needed to store a table, but when i store something in the table with a "key", and then i set to nil that key sometimes the value doesnt become nil.
I think its because im not using it properly, so im doing tests to get how to correct use this because i dont think it have errors.

i opened the thread because, i dont know how on my desktop appere a bin file, containing the table i saved to a player while testing days ego and i didnt notice, so i wanted to know how the hell i did that hahahahah

so really thanks for your answer, and ill continue testing this system.

Why do you need to store strings or tables?

Why do you need to store strings or tables?

to load information between server resets?
