I usually do something like this.

pawn Код:

if(!IsPlayerConnected(killerid))

! = Not.

Doesn't really matter which one you use.

INVALID_KILLER_ID is better. IsPlayerConnected has to call the function, but the variable is already there for you to check.

For some reasons better is IsPlayerConnected (troll program for samp ;d) but you can use this

pawn Код:

if(0 <= killerid < MAX_PLAYERS)

Theres pretty much no difference between these two functions both means the same.

Some people here really have no idea what they're saying...
As already mentioned, one is a function and the other is a constant expression.
Calling functions takes time to retrieve the result, but checking variables
is much much faster because you know in front exactly what to check for.
