I appreciate any help I got, thank you all, but how do I mark this thread solved? |
Your right I didn't read any of the posts, I didn't need to. I read the question
(the original post), I knew how to do it, & I posted it.
From your post it appeared you wanted to create a toggle that swaps between character & account wide settings and you wanted to copy the current acccountwide saved vars to the character saved vars to sync them. If something else was added later or changed your right I missed it.
I understand you wanted to copy through the metatable. I just went around it, all of that metadata is stored in _G which is what I copied.
_G is up-to-date when you change settings, that code works.
I'm guessing you had zgoo open and you were checking your SimpleXPBar.CurSV table after the swap/copy which would show the settings were out of date because zgoo would still be referencing the old table from before the swap. You can't just open & close the saved var table, you have to close zgoo & re-run /zgoo xxx after the swap for it to show the updated settings.
I'm glad you got it to work though.
