static gTeam[MAX_PLAYERS]? - Jochemd - 05.09.2010

Hello,

My question is simple: what does that static do? What is different from a simple new ?

Regards, Jochem

https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Scripting...s#static_local Explains it pretty much

Re: static gTeam[MAX_PLAYERS]? - Jochemd - 05.09.2010

Actually it doesn't explain at all what just a simple static is.

Re: static gTeam[MAX_PLAYERS]? - Cameltoe - 05.09.2010

Ok, heres one of the examples at the wiki:

pawn Код:
for (new i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
    static
        j = 1;
    printf("%d", j);
    j++;
}
That would print 1,2,3 as it loops the FOR 3 times. why it wont just print 1,1,1 as a local var would is cause it remembers its old value.

Explaining enough?

Simple test example.
pawn Код:
for(new i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
    static j = 1;
    printf("%d",j);
    j++;
}

for(new i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
    new j = 1;

A static variable is like a global new variable but with a more limited scope. When static is used globally the resulting created variables are limited to only the section in which they were created.

I still don't get it.. How bad of me I dont know this basic thing.

Re: static gTeam[MAX_PLAYERS]? - Vince - 05.09.2010

Wiki: Global static variables are like normal globals but can only be used in the file in which they are declared

Re: static gTeam[MAX_PLAYERS]? - Jochemd - 05.09.2010

So what is the point of using gTeam with this?

They're only really useful if you have more than one file in your sourcecode. If you plonk your gamemode all into the one file like most people then you don't have to worry about them.
