It is used in functions with many optional parameters, when you want to directly skip to a parameter, the ones before it stays with the default value.

Let's say we have this function

pawn Код:

native MyFunction( playerid, Interior = 0, World = 1, Cash = 1000, Fat = 10 );

You want to set only cash to this playerid, so you can do directly in a callback:

pawn Код:

MyFunction( playerid, .Cash = 421 );

So the function will look internal like:

pawn Код:

MyFunction( playerid, 0, 1, 421, 10 );

After . you have to use parameter's exact name to work !
