Making my own PM command - Torran - 10.03.2010

Im trying to make my own PM command using zcmd/sscanf,
And i have run into a little trouble,
I have this at the top of my command

pawn Код:
CMD:pm(playerid, params[])
{
  new id;
  new message;

  if (sscanf(params, "us", id, message)) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "Usage ~ /pm [PlayerID/PartOfName] [Message]");
  else if (id == playerid) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "Error ~ You cannot PM yourself");
  else if (id == INVALID_PLAYER_ID) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "Error ~ Player not Connected");
  else {
But it just completely ignores:

pawn Код:
else if (id == playerid) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "Error ~ You cannot PM yourself");
else if (id == INVALID_PLAYER_ID) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "Error ~ Player not Connected");
Does anyone know why?
Ask if you wanna see the full PM cmd

Why do you use else statements?

Re: Making my own PM command - Torran - 10.03.2010

I dont know,
Ive always used else statements, Never ran into a problem..

Guess i just looked at this code and followed it ever since:

if (id == INVALID_PLAYER_ID) return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "Error ~ Player not Connected");
else {
Try that, although I'm a n00b at scripting

You might also want to enable to PM CMD to have 128 characters "if (sscanf(params, "us[128]", id, message))", I think that works.

The else statements are gross, yes, but thats not his problem. He's declaring message as an integer; it should be a string.

Thats only for the plugin version. (dont know if he is using it or not... i assume not)

Re: Making my own PM command - gotenks918 - 10.03.2010

Oh you're right lol XD.

new message[128]; or what ever you want the max string length to be.

Re: Making my own PM command - Torran - 10.03.2010

Ok, I tried doing if, And i guess i know why i use else,
Because rather than sending one message with the specific error,
It does everything,
It shows the usage, It says player not found, It ses i cant pm myself, And it sends the pm too

EDIT: Works now thanks
Im not using the plugin version btw

Re: Making my own PM command - gotenks918 - 10.03.2010

returning the SendClientMessage should prevent it from going on to the next if statement.

There's no real difference between

pawn Код:
if(this == that) print("message 1");
else if(this < that) print("message 2");
else print("message 3");
return 1;
And

pawn Код:
if(this == that) return print("message 1");
if(this < that) return print("message 2");
return print("message 3");
As like you can see it's the same code except that in the first code the return is delayed to the later part of the code.

It doesn't really matter how you do it, it's just a matter of taste. I prefer to use the code below.

pawn Код:
CMD:pm(playerid, params[])
{
  new
    id,
    string[128];

  if(sscanf(params, "us", id, string)) return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR, "Usage ~ /pm [PlayerID/PartOfName] [Message]");
  else if(id == playerid) return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR, "Error ~ You cannot PM yourself");
  else if(!IsPlayerConnected(id)) return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR, "Error ~ Player not Connected");
  else
  {
    // code
  }
  return 1;
}
Mine is like that...
