What does 'char' in an array? - [DOG]irinel1996 - 02.01.2013

Hello,
I saw many scripts using that when arrays are declared.

pawn Код:

new array[MAX_PLAYERS char];

What does it do, how does it work?

Thank you.

char. I do use it to lower the array size.

Yes, char lower your memory. But you have to know that you can only save values from
0 until 255.

and if you want you can also use it like

PHP код:



array{playerid} = 1;

but there is no different of using

PHP код:



array[playerid]

There IS a big difference actually, since every cell now saves the data of four players instead of one. Using the square braces will overwrite anything that's saved there, from those four players.
