what does this mean? - TheMightyEddy - 17.04.2012

So i found this in another script and what does this mean?:

pawn Код:

switch(classid)
    {
        case 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5:
        {
            GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~b~Law Enforcement", 3000, 5);
        }
        case 6:
        {
            GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~p~Los Santos Army", 3000, 5);
        }
        case 7:
        {
            GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~b~FBI official", 3000, 5);
        }
        case 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29:
        {
            GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~w~Civilian", 3000, 5);
        }
    }

I know when I switch class, it will say what skill I am. But I added much more classes and it doesnt switch. PLease help?

Show the ones you added.

Re: what does this mean? - TheMightyEddy - 17.04.2012

I just added all 299 classes. It's just when I click on the arrow the switch skins, it will only saw "Law Enforcement" on some skins and "Civilian" on other skins.

There is so much information you could learn, simply by searching the SA-MP Wiki or ******. If you want to learn programming and you can't look for things yourself, you won't get very far.

Okay thanks. But what does this mean? The so many numbers after case:

Код:

case 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5:

Is the same as doing:

pawn Код:

if(classid == 0 || classid == 1 || classid == 2 || classid == 3 || classid == 4 || classid == 5)

As you see, a switch is much easier to maintain.

pawn Код:

// Alright, say we have some variable
new some_variable = 14;

// Now we need to do different things, depending on what it is.
// A neat way to do this is by using "switch".

// Now we say "alright, I want to compare some_variable to a bunch of things"
switch (some_variable) {
    // Is it 1, 2, or 3?
    case 1, 2, 3: {
        printf("It's 1, 2, or 3!");
    }
    
    // Is it between 5 and 10?
    case 5 .. 10: {
        printf("It's between 5 and 10!");
    }
    
    // Is it 14?
    case 14: {
        printf("It's 14!");
    }
    
    // If it's none of the above "cases"
    default: {
        printf("I'm not sure what it is!");
    }
}

Your case have many numbers, because the number "x" is for the classid "x".

That's for case 0 to case 5, it does the same thing.
