String not passing in SetTimer (seems illogical) - [HLF]Southclaw - 22.04.2011

This problem is really pissing me off, all the code looks perfect but it just doesn't work properly.

Basically if someone says a word in OnPlayerText, it sets a timer with a randomised phrase to be sent back to them:

pawn Код:

public Reply(playerid, text[])
{
    print(text); // this prints: "<null>"

    new h, m, s;
    gettime(h, m, s);
    msgaF(WHITE, "reply string: {FFFFFF}%s", text);
    printf("[%d:%d:%d] reply string: {FFFFFF}%s", h, m, s, text);
}
public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])
{
    if(strfind(text, "word", true)!=-1)
    {
        new r = random(sizeof(ReplyArray));
        printf("random = %d, text to say = %s", r, ReplyArray[r]); // This prints the correct number and correct string
        SetTimerEx("TalkSteve", 3000, false, "ds", playerid, ReplyArray[r]); // This all seems perfect, am I missing something?
    }

Am I just overtired and missed something obvious?
Would appreciate replies thanks

Basically sending string with SetTimerEx is bugged (since ever)

Just send the randomized number

And you call "TalkSteve" not "Reply"

Oh right, that really sucks. I'll fix it with a global variable, because I use the function for more than just the array.

They really should fix that! lol
