[HELP] MaX_PLAYERS and variable question.. - DarrenReeder - 29.05.2010

*new question*

Okay, this is my question....

if new Variable; is a global variable...and new Variable[MAX_PLAYERS]; is a variable which has a slot for every playerid in the server (so Variable[0] for player id 0, Variable[1] for playerid 1 etc.) how do i make a string variable for every playerid in the server?

will i jsut use

new string[256][MAX_PLAYERS]; or somthing?

  • A String is a string of text stored inside a variable??
  • A variable can hold a string of text or a numeric value...
  • When you stream/print a variable the program converts the numberic value to a string and then puts it into the stream of text in the console....
1. true well can also be blank
2.a var can hold a string a integer or float depending on the var ie new str[64]; new Float:decimal; or new integer;
also a string can hold a interger too new str[10] = "1000"; strval(str) = 1000
3. i belive so the cosole reads each cell of a str and converts that to a char and prints that to the console
ie str[10] = 10cells and 1 char can be in each
if that helps

mmhmm yeah... so to create a string you need to have

new string[258]; then it can be 258 characters long? true?

sorry yes it can be upto 256 [0]-[255]
na doesnt have to be that long you can make it [256] and just print "hi" which is only 3 as there is allways a blank on the end

nah i know..but the number is the [] is the max? and each letter is stored in each "slot"?

pawn Код:
correct   str[10]="hello"    [0] = h   [1]= e   [2] = l etc
and if you are passing strings to diff vars the need to be the same size

You can store 255 characters in 256 cells big array. Last cell will always be '\0'.

Re: noobie string/variable question.. - (SF)Noobanatior - 29.05.2010

yeah but you got 0 as well so 0 -255 = 256
so 256 really with /0 in the last 1 but can only use 255
