Re: [SERIOUS HELP SERIOUS ERRORS] undefined symbol "KillerName" - Extremo - 14.10.2009

Well, lets have a closer look at your problem.

The error says:

Code:

undefined symbol: KillerName

So, now lets have a look. You are using KillerName quite alot, without having it declared nor assigned to anything. What does declare mean? Well, Pawn is a type-less language so, when declaring a variable its either a cell or a group of cells. Cells? What the heck are cells?
Think of a cell like a small box where you can place either a number or ONE character inside.

Now, declaring a variable which can hold a number would look like:

pawn Code:

new variable;

There we are!
but what would be needed so that we can make the variable hold "Hello"? Well, 5 cells! Each cell can hold one character, thats right.
So, lets declare it then!

pawn Code:

new hello[5] = "Hello";

Now, that would be the same as:

pawn Code:

new hello[5];
hello[0] = &#39;H';
hello[1] = &#39;e';
hello[2] = &#39;l';
hello[3] = &#39;l';
hello[4] = &#39;o';

Now, when looking at your problem, you have NEVER declared KillerName! Nor did you tell the script what KillerName is :O!

Well,

I am guessing that KillerName is the name of the person who killed the guy eh? If I am right then first of all we need a variable to store the name:

pawn Code:

new KillerName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];

Alright, we got that! Now, we need a function to get the players name.. hmm.. I am sure there was something like that, wasn't there?

Yes there was! GetPlayerName

Alright, lets use it!
Hmm, the function itself says "killerid" in the parameters. Seems like thats the ID of the killer.
Lets parse it in the function!

pawn Code:

GetPlayerName(killerid, KillerName, sizeof(KillerName));

Alright, we got the name, declared and formatted onto the variable, now we can use it!

Then you didn't think enough. Learning by doing was my motto when I started programming. Show some more enthiuasm and try it as much as you can until you figure out how it works. I give you another small hint and then you got to promise me to try it yourself a bit more. The hint is:

Have a look at

pawn Code:

PlayerName

Then read what I said again, I am sure you will figure it out

It would suck if this thread had to be deleted, because then you wouldn't get your serious help...
