\n not working - Jstylezzz - 23.02.2013

Hi all,

I have kind of a weird thing here..
When I use \n in a format function, like this one here:

pawn Code:

format(string,128,"Welcome %s , thanks for logging in!\nYour last login was on: %d-%d-%d , from IP adress: %s",...);

The \n is ignored, and the text is on one line.
This works in my login dialog, but not in the sent messages.

Anything I'm doing wrong here?

You cannot use \n with SendClientMessage. AFAIK it (\n) only works with dialog boxes.

Really?
Hmm, I will send it in 2 messages then, thanks

Code:

format(string,128,"Welcome %s , thanks for logging in!\nYour last login was on: %d-%d-%d , from IP adress: %s",...);

new string[128];
SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_CODE, "%d-%d-%d"); // extra line 1

I'm new in scripting, so I dont know or i'm right or not ^^

You have to format the %d-%d-%d, you can't just put it into the code and expect it to work. That's why we use the format() function. It allows us to replace %d, %s, %i, %f, etc with values of variables we specify.
