PVarInts - Snowman12 - 10.01.2012

Hey,

For my server I am completely changing everything I do. I'm bored of my old scripting methods, however I was wondering if ++ = +1 and -- doesn't work then would -1 work? Or set the int to -1, when using SetPVarInt?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry if it's a noob question normally I wouldn't use -1.

In my experience, when adding to the value of a PVar, you need to first retrieve the current value, then add the value you're trying to add (that could get confusing). Here's an example:

Instead of doing this:

pawn Код:

SetPVarInt(playerid, "(...)", Value++);

or perhaps this:

pawn Код:

SetPVarInt(playerid, "(...)", GetPVarInt(playerid, "(...)")++);

you need to do this:

pawn Код:

SetPVarInt(playerid, "(...)", GetPVarInt(playerid, "(...)")+iValue);

That's one of the various reasons I tend not to use PVar's for values that are accessed very often.

Very confusing.. How would I take away a int. Like this?

pawn Код:

SetPVarInt(playerid, "IncorrectLogin", GetPVarInt(playerid, "IncorrectLogin")-iValue);

Or is that completely wrong?

Thanks in advance,

It's correct.
You can also use it like this:

pawn Код:

SetPVarInt(playerid, "IncorrectLogin", --GetPVarInt(playerid, "IncorrectLogin")); // IncorrectLogin = IncorrectLogin-1

and so on.

Well no nothing is 'wrong' with my code, I'm just getting bored of the old style and looking to develop into newer ways.

The only advantage to PVars are that they use less memory, right?

Re: PVarInts - Snowman12 - 11.01.2012

I personally think they save more time and look alot better. But thats just my thinking.

Re: PVarInts - Scenario - 11.01.2012

I think I was mistaken in my post above. PVars were supposed to be more memory efficient, but that isn't the case I'm assuming?
