ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide() not saving

[Tingle0x539]

The issue is that the variable will not save, its stays 0.
Any ideas?

So far I have been able to find out that the file is created with the default values if they are specified, then neither loading vales or saving them works, as if it could not read or write to the file. I checked permissions, the file has r/w for everyone.

Doing

for index, param in pairs(TCC.settings) do
    CHAT_SYSTEM:AddMessage(index..": "..tostring(param))
end

prints out

GetInterfaceForCharacter: function: 5A559658

Inside my .txt file I have:

## SavedVariables: TCC_SV

Inside my .xml I have:

<OnInitialized>
    TCC.OnInitialized()
</OnInitialized>

Inside my lua file I have:

TCC.settings = {
    var = 0
}
 
function TCC.OnInitialized()
    TCC.settings = ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide("TCC_SV", 1, nil, TCC.settings)
    TCC.settings.var = 1
end

The AddOn's saved var lua file is created just fine inside the \SavedVariables\ folder with this content:

TCC_SV =
{
    ["Default"] = 
    {
        ["@AccountName"] = 
        {
            ["$AccountWide"] = 
            {
                ["var"] = 0,
                ["version"] = 1,
            },
        },
    },
}

Try another way ..


TCC.defaults = {
var = 0
}

TCC.settings = {
var = 0
}

function TCC.OnInitialized()
TCC.settings = ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide("TCC_SV", 1, nil, TCC.defaults)
TCC.settings.var = 1
end

Hopefully that will make it work.

Doesn't work, what I did was deleted the saved var file, restarted the game, set the value to 10, reloaded the UI, now the saved var file has it set to 10. Then I reloaded the UI and the value it loads is 0, and any change to it does not save.

It's seems that it created the file once with the current set value and then never touches it again... The initial save is the only one that counts.

Edit: Ok I got it to work now, for some reason calling ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide() in OnInitialized() is to early. By calling it later, for example through the event EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, it works as intended.

Gimme a mo while I finish what I'm working on, got something that should help.

Check my last reply, I edited it, figured it out and mentioned my result. But thanks for the planned effort.

heh no problem, just finished a developer addon that shows how to save / load vars.


Made a demo addon to simply show how to work with variables, maybe it will help others.

Yeah, I remember seeing something in the example in the wiki about it not existing until that event.
