Constant Arrays? - bilakispa - 12.03.2010

Simple Question, can i declare constant array? And How?

I tried:

pawn Код:

const Array[5] = {1,2,...};

but it gives: error 001: expected token: "=", but found "["
I also tried:

pawn Код:

new const Array[5] = {1,2,...};

but it gives: error 008: must be a constant expression; assumed zero

When i declare a constant variable (example const var = 5

it doesn't give me error's

Am i doing something wrong?

pawn Код:

new const Array[5] = {1, 2, ...};

works for me.

Hmmm, i will give more info because still doesn't work.

I have declared as global this:

pawn Код:

new const DialogIdList[20] = {0,1, ...};

And i have OnDialogRespone

pawn Код:

switch(dialogid)
{
   case DialogIdList[0]:
   {
   ...commands...
   }
   case DialogIdList[1]:
   {
   ...commands...
   }
   ...
   ...
   ...
   case DialogIdList[19]:
   {
   ...commands...
   }
}
...

I get these errors at the case lines : error 008: must be a constant expression; assumed zero

P.S. Anyway, i will change it to if

I rat, in this case you better use defines

Код:

#define DIALOGID 1
#define DIALOGID 2

Thanks but i think it's more efficient to use "if/else if"s.

is it working now, when you use if/else..?

Re: Constant Arrays? - bilakispa - 12.03.2010

Yes, but "if" isn't limited to constants like switch, so it doesn't mean now the array is constant (even i have declared it as a constant).

P.S. I opened a new file, declared constant array and using switch still brings the same results. Probably, switch isn't too good as if.

Re: Constant Arrays? - pen_theGun - 12.03.2010

i think its more, that you use switch stament wrong.

switch(dialogid)
{
case DialogIdList[0]:
{

i do understand that DialogIdList is a constant, but how we see something goes wrong
like i said you better use the defines,
because i dont get, how you know which dialogid you use at the moment,
if you have something like this
new const DialogIdList[20] = {0,1, ...};
