Optional Parameter In Public Functions - Scenario - 07.01.2011

Evening... I have never really needed to know, until now. I have this public function:

pawn Код:

public SendAdminMessage(color, string[])

How do I add an optional parameter after "string[]"?

Re: Optional Parameter In Public Functions - Retardedwolf - 07.01.2011

For a example to send admin message to certain levels.

pawn Код:

public SendAdminMessage ( color, string [ ], aLvl = -1 )

Which also means if you don't enter a parameter for the aLvl it will be automatically -1 and you could send it to all admin levels.

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you for that, I really appreciate it!

Okay, so I have this:

pawn Код:

forward SendAdminMessage(color, string[], sound = 1);
public SendAdminMessage(color, string[], sound = 1)

... and I get these errors:

Код:

C:\Users\Nick\Documents\Relentless Gaming\samp03\gamemodes\RG-CNR.pwn(3844) : error 059: function argument may not have a default value (variable "sound")

I don't think public functions are able to have optional parameters.

What about a stock function?

Re: Optional Parameter In Public Functions - bigcomfycouch - 07.01.2011

Yes, you can do it in a stock.

Re: Optional Parameter In Public Functions - Joe Staff - 07.01.2011

Yeah stock can have a preset optional, but if it needs to be a public you can just set it when you use it.

Re: Optional Parameter In Public Functions - Retardedwolf - 07.01.2011

I never knew that cause I mostly used stock functions sorry mate.

Re: Optional Parameter In Public Functions - Scenario - 07.01.2011

Okay, code wise I have no errors making the two public functions I have into stocks. Perhaps one of you knows the difference between publics and stocks? Thank you for the help, by the way!
