IsPlayerConnected <- Not working - Riddy - 14.12.2012

pawn Код:

if(dInfo[playerid][dVar1] == 0)
            {

                if(IsPlayerConnected(pID)) // Not working as its suppose to

                    mysql_query(query);
                    new rows = strval(query);
                    if(rows == 1)
                    {
                        format(query, sizeof(query), "SELECT Wanteds FROM %splayers WHERE name = '%s'", SQL_PREFIX, inputtext);
                        mysql_query(query);
                        new wanteds = strval(query);
                        new string[64];
                        format(string, sizeof(string), "Persons Name: %s\nSuspected: %d", inputtext, wanteds);
                        ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, GUI_MDC, DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX, "MDC - Person Information", string, "Ok", "");
                    }
                    else {
                         ShowInfoDialog(playerid, "MDC - Error", "This name does not exist in the police database.");
                    }
                }
            }

IsPlayerConnected isnt working, GetPlayerID works as it returns the data correctly, but it doesnt check if the player is currently online. as it returns with this:

ShowInfoDialog(playerid, "MDC - Error", "This name does not exist in the police database.");

Ow.. I keep on forgetting stuff like that. thanks

EDIT: 1 thing though, inputtext is a name, not an ID.

pawn Код:

stock GetPlayerID(const Name[])
{
    for(new i; i<MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
      if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
      {
        new pName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
        GetPlayerName(i, pName, sizeof(pName));
        if(strcmp(Name, pName, true)==0)
        {
          return i;
        }
      }
    }
    return -1;
}

pawn Код:

if(GetPlayerID(inputtext) == -1) return SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Error, invalid name connected!");
new pID = GetPlayerID(inputtext);

pawn Код:

stock GetPlayerID(Name[])
{
    for(new i; i<MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
      if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
      {
        new pName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
        GetPlayerName(i, pName, sizeof(pName));
        if(strcmp(Name, pName, true) == 0) 
    {
    break;
    return i;
    }
      }
    }
    return -1;
}

I think it should work.

Sorry for the bad indentation, I'm on the phone.

Re: IsPlayerConnected <- Not working - Konstantinos - 15.12.2012

Why a stock, when it's already a function by a_samp.inc?
Returns: The ID of the player OR -1,

pawn Код:

new pID = GetPlayerID(inputtext);
if( pID != -1 )
{
    // he's connected;
}
else
{
    //he's not
}

Important Note: This is a custom function, which can be found in Useful_Functions.

My apologies!
Use the stock at the bottom of your script, and do the rest I have.
