String Limit - Thomas. - 12.09.2010

Hi all,

What is the maximum cell size for a regular string?
I've looked on the Limits wiki page, but the only string length limit I can find is related to TextDraws.

I got the idea that the limit is 1024, but I'm not sure about it since the limit for serverwise created TextDraws is already 2048...

The string limit is a PAWN or Pawno issue, it has nothing to do with SA:MP.

Ok, but that doesn't really answer my question.

Is there a concrete number, or is the limit determined in some other way?

256, but I suggest you use 256-, or use only in places where you actualy need 256 symbols

Thank you.

However, that leads me to another question.
In the Limits wiki page, limits of 1024+ are stated?

Re: String Limit - Voldemort - 12.09.2010

Textdraw string limit is 1024, but in anywhere else 256.

Re: String Limit - Sergei - 12.09.2010

Why would you ever need more than 2048 cells (dialogs can display that much I think)? And limit is basically your free heap space.

Re: String Limit - Vince - 13.09.2010

You should only really use large strings sizes (128 and up) when working with MySQL or files (and in some cases textdraws and dialogs). Anywhere else, a string size of 128 is more than enough.

Edit: Didn't notice the multiple pages in this thread. Disregard this post if you'd want.
