Help please - bartje01 - 01.07.2011

Hello everyone. I want to check if someone's faction name in his file eqauls Los Santos Police Department
I have it like this:

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(PlayerInfo[playerid][pFaction], "Los Santos Police Department", true) != 0)  return SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_GREY,"You're not allowed to use this command.");

It just has no effect. What is wrong?

Re: Help please - JaTochNietDan - 01.07.2011

Okay well that check is seeing if the two strings do not match, I thought you wanted to check if they matched?

Also what are the contents of the variable "PlayerInfo[playerid][pFaction]"?

Re: Help please - bartje01 - 01.07.2011

Yes that is what I mean. If they do not match it should send the message. And pFaction is defined as:

pFaction[60]; within my PlayerInfo.
It's just saved in the userfile.
It says the name of the faction. That part works correctly.

Please print the contents of the variable to confirm the data is correctly stored in it.

Print the contents of PlayerInfo[playerid][pFaction] just before it compares using strcmp and see what the value of the pFaction variable is.

pawn Код:

printf("%s", PlayerInfo[playerid][pFaction]);

You were originally checking if they didn't match. I suggest you look up the correct usage of strcmp on the SA-MP Wiki.

He stated that he was looking for if the variable didn't match. If the player is not in the police department then he is unable to use this command.

There is nothing inside the variable then, make sure you are setting it correctly.

I mis-read, I noticed when I was reading through it again. Apologies.

Anyway, it seems something is wrong with the data in the variable then, you are not storing the information in the variable correctly.

Re: Help please - bartje01 - 01.07.2011

Is this correctly?

dini_Set(file, "Faction",PlayerInfo[playerid][pFaction]);

That's setting the information in the file to the value of that variable, what about where you're storing information in the variable in the first place?
