Using strfind wrong? - JaKe Elite - 13.05.2012

I don't know why but it also allows other players to use the clan chat here is example how i use strfind

pawn Код:
if(strfind(GetpName(playerid), "[iP]", true))
but still other players (even without [iP] tag) can use the clan chat.

Note: this was proof 100% when i use another user name like 'Rock' etc...

so tell me guys i'm using strfind wrong?

I am not sure (I also don't know strfind very well). If you change 'true' to 'false', will it be fixed (because a long time ago I used 'false', not 'true')?

nope it didn't work

Re: Using strfind wrong? - Libra_PL - 13.05.2012

I found it in my script, try this one:

Код:
if(strfind(GetpName(playerid),"[iP]", true) != -1)

Guys, first use the wiki than pawn-lang.pdf (or the impl guide if needed) than the search function and AT LAST post a topic...

Returns
The number of characters before the sub string (the sub string's start position) or -1 if it's not found.
After knowing that, Libra_PL version is correct

Use this:
pawn Код:
if(strfind(GetpName(playerid), "[iP]", false) != -1)
Basically what made it not work is it returned 0 as there are no characters before the [iP] when you made it check a name.
It should be set to false so it someone has the tag [ip] or [Ip] he won't be able to talk on the clan chat neither.

To even make this more accurate use the following:
pawn Код:
if(!strfind(GetpName(playerid), "[iP]", false))
This will make it ONLY work if the player has [iP] before his name, example: "[iP]iRage".
It won't work if a player has [iP] anywhere else in his name, example: "iRa[iP]ge" or "iRage[iP]".

In this case use strcmp because its faster

pawn Код:
if(!strcmp(GetpName(playerid), "[iP]", false, 4)) {}

That would work too.
Anyways have you tested both and came up with your speed results or...?
