This function reloads the ACL's and the ACL groups from the ACL XML file. All ACL and ACL group elements are invalid after a call to this and should not be used anymore.

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

• Method:ACL.reload(...)

Syntax

​bool aclReload ( )

Returns

Returns true if the XML was successfully reloaded from the file, false if the XML was invalid, didn't exist or could not be loaded for some other reason.

    local reload = aclReload() -- Reload the ACL
    if (reload) then -- Check it was reloaded successfully
      outputChatBox("ACL was successfully reloaded.", source, 255, 0, 0) -- If so, output it
    else -- If not, output it (line below)
      outputChatBox("An unknown error occured. Please check the ACL file exists.", source, 255, 0, 0)
