IsPlayerConnected question - BlackWolf120 - 29.04.2011

hi,

i know this is a kinda noob question but im wondering what exactly this IsPlayerConnected function does.
E.g. i use this in my map change code like this:

pawn Код:

for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
{
    if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
    {
    SetPlayerPos(i,X,Y,Z);
    }
}

Now i think everyone knows what this does

But can i also use this loop without the IsPlayerConnected function?
Would it be even better or faster?
Or would there be any bugs possible if i use this code without the IsPlayerConnected thing?
I hope u can help me with my stupid and strange question

regards, blackwolf.

It's better to use it because it will skip players are not connected and save memory, else it will just set health of a player that's not even connected.

pawn Код:

for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
{
    if (!IsPlayerConnected(i)) continue;
    SetPlayerPos(i, x, y, z);
}

I still and will always recommend foreach, easy and faster than ever loops.

pawn Код:

foreach(Player, i)
{
    SetPlayerPos(i, x, y, z);
}

Checking if the player is online is not even needed in that case.

if(IsPlayerConnected(i)

Is to ask before running the cycle if the player is connected, is due to this function and you know if a player connected to this ID

srry-.-

Es para preguntar antes de correr el ciclo si el jugador estб conectado, es lo debido poner esa funciуn ya que sabes si hay un jugador conectado con tal ID

Go to the Spanish forums.

Re: IsPlayerConnected question - BlackWolf120 - 29.04.2011

yeah, thx alot for ur answer

ive already planned to replace all my loops with ******'s (god of samp

) foreach loop for a long time.
But now uve motivated me to do it right now

So nothing else is needed?
Only this foreach loop?
Ive also heard that it is alot faster and way more efficient.
And no stupid IsPlayerConnected anymore?
sounds nice

Most functions have inbuilt IsPlayerConnected checks, and they simply won't work if the player is not connected.

Re: IsPlayerConnected question - BlackWolf120 - 29.04.2011

k, thx alot Vince

Re: IsPlayerConnected question - BlackWolf120 - 30.04.2011

thx alot ******

well about the god thing:

Sorry if I hurt u but do u know how many tutorials + includes + plugins or what ever uve already made?
And how many people uve already helped by releasing ur great stuff and replying 4500+ times?
Thats kinda GodLike for me

But I agree with u that the top level of respect should be reserved for Kyeman and the developers.
But please dont tell me u werent good at pawno (or and other scripting/programming languages) cause that what ive seen released by u so far is just amazing

Anyway, thx alot and pls keep up the good work, sorry, the EXCELLENT work

best regards, blackwolf.

//edit: mhh, i just saw your y_class release

This might be usefull for me as well soon

thx again.
