How to create a simple Announce command

Introduction
This is a simple tutorial which helps you to learn how to create simple announce commands using Zcmd and Sscanf2
I apologise now itself if this tutorial isnt well explained/wrong because Im posting this using mobile.
Also this is my first tutorial.
ZCMD:It is a command processor which allows to create command in a simple way and execute it faster.
Download:forum.sa-mp.com/showthread.php?t=91354

Sscanf2:Here sscanf2 is used to input text to announce for all and also for easy scripting.
Download:forum.sa-mp.com/showthread.php?t=120356

Use

First lets include files which is needed to run the script.
Here we are going to use 3 includes.
a_samp[Needed for every script]
zcmd[For faster and simple command executing]
sscanf2[For inputing the text in an easy way.]

So,lets start with including files.
NOTE:a_samp is needed for every script,so you must start with a_samp include.

pawn Code:

#include <a_samp> //Included a_samp.
#include <zcmd> //Included zcmd.
#include <sscanf2> //Included sscanf2.

We've included the includes needed to run the script,now lets start making command.
Here's an example of command way in zcmd

pawn Code:

CMD:zcmdway(playerid,params[])
{
  //This is the command way of zcmd.
   //Here function.

Lets start creating our command under the includes.

pawn Code:

CMD:announce(playerid,params[])
{
//Zcmd command processor system. ^
   new text[60]; //Create a new variable to execute text via sscanf.[60]refers to its string length.
   if(sscanf(params, "s[60]",text)) //Here we are using "s" to output entered text.[60] is the string.
//And we've executed "text" variable here.
//By doing these,we have created a function to detect usage.
   return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000, "Usage:/announce [text]");//Here we are adding a message how to use if  player doesnt inputs text.
   GameTextForAll(text,3000,3); //Here,we're using this to announce our text in GameText style.
//You can change the style of Gametext by changing the "3" at last.
//And the 3000 refers to time(milliseconds) of gametext to be displayed.
//GameTexts: wiki.sa-mp.com/wiki/GameTextForPlayer
   return 1; //We're returning the cmd here.
} //Closing brackets to end cmd.

Finalised Code

pawn Code:

#include <a_samp>
#include <zcmd>
#include <sscanf2>

CMD:announce(playerid,params[])
{
  new text[60];
  if(sscanf(params,"s[60]",text))
  return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000, "Usage:/announce [text]");
  GameTextForAll(text,3000,3);
  return 1;
}

I love it, it even makes it awesome that you posted on my wall asking me if the command would work.

remove the system.
and its ZCmd,
Z stands for Zeex and and cmd for command.
so its ZCmd or better zcmd (with no capital letters)

No not this again...
It takes a lot of time to edit because of more texts used.
My E71 is lagging a lot while editing and got hanged.
Now switched off and switched on again.

I'll edit later...
Thx xkiril.

Can I get more comments?

pawn Code:

CMD:announce(playerid,params[])
{
if(isnull(params)) return SendClientMessage(playerid,-1,"USAGE:/announce [text]");
GameTextForAll(params,3000,3);
return 1;
}

You dont need sscanf for one parameter commands.

For me,sscanf is more easier and better.
Btw you're right,here we dont need sscanf to do this,but while making a lot of commands(Eg:Adm cmds),sscanf will be more better.
Because while using sscanf,cmds which requires parameters can be easily created without any confusion or other problems etc

Any more feedbacks?

Re: How to create a simple announce cmd[sscanf|| Zcmd] - Glint - 29.08.2012

Good job writing this on a mobile is kinda difficult, but also you can make this without using sscanf too, the command is /announce [text], so you could just use the params[], parameter in zcmd, other then that nicely explained.

Thank you Lexi'.

Re: How to create a simple announce cmd[sscanf|| Zcmd] - Cjgogo - 29.08.2012

Even if it's a simple tutorial,I like it because it uses cool features of SAMP coding,lik sscanf,zcmd,etc.If I saw a tutorial that uses strcmp,strtok,I'd probably kill myself.Good job

Re: How to create a simple announce cmd[sscanf|| Zcmd] - Smokkr - 29.08.2012

Nice tutorial, for people who can't work with zcmd(like me)

Yeah for some guys strcmp and strtok makes mad.
Where as ZCMD and YCMD and some other cmd processors are good to see+faster execution.

good work bro!
Hope you become a good scripter!

@ irfu ,
Thanks.
