private messages with zcmd and sscanf2(solved) - iggy1 - 31.05.2010

Hi im trying to make a private message command using zcmd and sscanf im fairly new scripter and cant c what is wrong. The problem is the message is always cut short i have tryed changing the size of the arrays but always the same outcome here is the code.

pawn Код:

COMMAND:pm(playerid,params[])
{
    new ID;
    new PMstring[128];//the PM
    new string[128];//string used for SendClientMessage
    new Iname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], Pname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    
    sscanf(params,"is",ID,PMstring);
    format(PMstring,sizeof(PMstring),PMstring);
    GetPlayerName(ID,Iname,sizeof(Iname));
    GetPlayerName(playerid,Pname,sizeof(Pname));
    
    if(sscanf(params,"is",ID))return SendClientMessage(playerid,red,"Usage: /pm (id) (message)");
    if(sscanf(params,"s",PMstring))return SendClientMessage(playerid,red,"Usage: /pm (id) (message)");
    if(ID == INVALID_PLAYER_ID)return SendClientMessage(playerid,red,"Player Not Found");
    
     format(string,sizeof(string),"PM from %i[%s]: %s",playerid,Pname,PMstring);
    SendClientMessage(ID,0xFFD720FF,string);
    format(string,sizeof(string),"PM To %s: %s",Iname,PMstring);
    SendClientMessage(playerid,0xFFD720FF,string);
    PlayerPlaySound(ID,1085,0.0,0.0,0.0);
    return 1;
}

Thanks in advance probably a few things wrong

any help is much appreciated.

Wouldnt 'u' be better? As its for PlayerID/PartOfName

Re: private message with zcmd and sscanf (help please) - dice7 - 31.05.2010

It differs from person to person. Some even use 'i', but I stick to 'd', since the 'part of name' thing in 'u' never worked for me

Re: private message with zcmd and sscanf (help please) - iggy1 - 31.05.2010

Thanks both helped alot, ill have to read more documentation on sscanf

thanks again

EDIT: btw im using sscanf2 and 'z' is depreciated. or so it says on the console window. just edited title sorry.

Just incase people need this in future here is the code for PM's that works for sscanf2.

pawn Код:

COMMAND:pm(playerid,params[])
{
    new ID;
    new PMstring[128];//the PM
    new string[128];//string used for SendClientMessage
    new Iname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], Pname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];

    if (sscanf(params, "ds[128]", ID, PMstring))
     {
      SendClientMessage(playerid,red,"Usage: /pm (id) (message)");
      return 1;
    }

    GetPlayerName(ID,Iname,sizeof(Iname));
    GetPlayerName(playerid,Pname,sizeof(Pname));

     format(string,128,"PM from %i[%s]: %s",playerid,Pname,PMstring);
    SendClientMessage(ID,0xFFD720FF,string);
    format(string,128,"PM To %s: %s",Iname,PMstring);
    SendClientMessage(playerid,0xFFD720FF,string);
    PlayerPlaySound(ID,1085,0.0,0.0,0.0);
    return 1;
}
