Questions related to SetPersistent

[Lugoun]

I do have some questions related to SetPersistent (listing SetPersistentString function here):
void SetPersistentString(object oObject, string sVarName, string sValue, int iExpiration = 0, string sTable = "pwdata")

Question#1 - Looking at the code, it appears that any non-player object that you wish to set persitent data 'on' will be recorded in the DB based in part on its tag. Does that mean that any non-player objects with identical tags will also have the same persistent variable(s) data?

Question #2 - The functions give the scripter the option to set the sql table, and the default is "pwdata". If we try to write data to a table that does not already exist, will it be added to the db?

1) Yes.

2) No.

You can make your own tables and write your own queries once you get comfortable with the system. You can look at the starter mod for the code to create a new table. My first new table was simply a renamed pwdata table with the same fields, until I got more comfortable and made tables suited to my needs.
