struct usage?

[Syran the Heretic]

Hello, i have made a system that tracks and stores player info in a row that contains fields such as cdkey, ip, kills, deaths, and various flagging options like if they are a vampire, if they are a player DM, if they are AFK etc etc.

I use a struct to keep track of these variables when im playing with them in the module. Basically what i have is my struct declaration with all my variables. So i have struct PlayerData { string blah; etc };

Then i have


PlayerData readdata(object oPC)
{
struct read;
read.Kills = 3;
return read;
}

in the above i define each variable based on DATA i get from the PC (pulling it from the DB)

So all that would be in an include, and i would do

struct PlayerData readdata(oPC);

in my mod onenter script, and then i would change some variables...

read.Kills = 5;

Then i would execute another function that takes in the read struct and inputs each one of those variables back into the DB, updating them. The only problem is they don't seem to be passing into that function as my NWNX logs show no values being read.

I haven't used structures much, what would be the best way for me to load variables into a struct from a PC, modify each one at will in my script, and then update them all back in the DB ?

The reason i did this is so i can make multiple changes and execute one big statement instead of doing individal functions for minor changes.

If I read this correctly, I used something similar to help manage different parts of our complex quest system. I wrote the SQL parts, and another person wrote all the conversations and events. We used structs to pass data back and forth, kinda like this:
