Here's my armrzone.cfg (it's unmodified):
Code:
ArmorZone
{
   Name   Body
   Chance   44
   Layer   13
   Layer   20
   Layer   22
   Layer   5
   Layer   17
}

ArmorZone
{
   Name   Arms
   Chance   14
   Layer   19
}

ArmorZone
{
   Name   Head
   Chance   14
   Layer   6
}

ArmorZone
{
   Name   Legs/feet
   Chance   14
   Layer   4
   Layer   3
   Layer   24
}

ArmorZone
{
   Name   Neck
   Chance   7
   Layer   10
}

ArmorZone
{
   Name   Hands
   Chance   7
   Layer   7
}


Here's a test text command that should print out the number of armor zones and a list of all of the zone names:
Code:
use uo;
use os;
use cfgfile;

program TestRead(character, textcmd)
   var cfg_file := ReadConfigFile("::armrzone");
   var cfg_keys := GetConfigStringKeys(cfg_file);

   // Only prints out 1!
   SendSysMessage(character, "Armor zones: " + cfg_keys.size());
   
   var zones := "";
   
   foreach zone in cfg_keys
      zones := zones + " " + cfg_file[zone].Name;
   endforeach

   // Only prints out "Body"!   
   SendSysMessage(character, "Zones:" + zones);
endprogram



Only the first zone is loaded, and the rest are ignored. However, it works fine if I give the elements names. Why not simply load all of the elements with "" for their name instead of only loading the first one?

By the way, this took me a LONG time to figure out. Sad I almost died.

Hmmm. There's no need to get mad. It's just sort of an odd behavior to only return ONE element. I'd rather it give an error or return all elements...

Not mad, just being a smart-ass.

It just finds the first match. It isnt gonna return them all.
Likewise say you have four instances of

Elem MyElem
{
}
Elem MyElem
{
}

Itll give you the first one.

So... name the elems.

Maybe if they didn't end all days with "y", eh? I think if you took beer out of the world, 80-90% of all open source projects would be finished in about a week.
