how to set a default array value to a var with 2 agruments? (when creating it globally) - Donya - 04.06.2011

pawn Code:

new Text:PlayerFadeText[MAX_PLAYERS][MAX_FADES] = {INVALID_TEXT_DRAW,...};

it gives, invalid expression

You cant in pawn, you could use a 1d array with a little trick

pawn Code:

new Text: PlayerFadeText[MAX_PLAYERS * MAX_FADES] = {INVALID_TEXT_DRAW, ...};
#define PlayerFadeText[%0][%1] PlayerFadeText[(%0) + (MAX_PLAYERS * (%1))]
//could be [(MAX_FADES * (%0)) + (%1)] but %0 wont be an constant => no preprocess

This can be used like every 2d array, it is some nanoseconds slower through the calculation (also not worth to mention)

Or you set them in OnGameModeInit to their default value

pawn Code:

//OnGameModeInit
    for(new i, j; i != sizeof PlayerFadeText; ++i) {
        for(j = 0; j != sizeof PlayerFadeText[]; ++j) {
            PlayerFadeText[i][j] = INVALID_TEXT_DRAW;
        }
    }

Or in your example with a player based array in OnPlayerConnect

pawn Code:

//OnPlayerConnect
    for(new i; i != sizeof PlayerFadeText[]; ++i) {
        PlayerFadeText[playerid][i] = INVALID_TEXT_DRAW;
    }
