lets say this is right, on creating the variable "TheMessage" wht will be the size ??

Re: new Size = sizeof(Message); - 5 Errors - Face9000 - 29.05.2013

YOU choose it, depends on the length of the message you will send. Use TheMessage[128]; .. it should be good.

New Size[NUMBER]; will make it the size of the number you put in

pawn Код:

stock SendServerMessage(PlayerID,Message[])
{
    new Size = sizeof(Message);
    new TheMessage[Size]; //i guess the number has to go here.
    format(TheMessage,Size,"[SERVER]{FFFFFF} %s",Message);
    SendClientMessage(PlayerID,SexyBlue,TheMessage);
}

It's better to use just 128:

pawn Код:

stock SendServerMessage(PlayerID,Message[])
{
    new TheMessage[128];
    format(TheMessage, 128,"[SERVER]{FFFFFF} %s", Message);
    SendClientMessage(PlayerID, SexyBlue, TheMessage);
}

or if you really want:

pawn Код:

stock SendServerMessage(PlayerID,Message[])
{
    new Size = strlen(Message), TheMessage[Size];
    format(TheMessage, Size, "[SERVER]{FFFFFF} %s", Message);
    SendClientMessage(PlayerID, SexyBlue, TheMessage);
}

Re: new Size = sizeof(Message); - 5 Errors - Bakr - 29.05.2013

1) Length of "Message" cannot be known from within the function. You need to add another parameter to pass the length of the variable

pawn Код:

stock SendServerMessage(PlayerID, Message[], size = sizeof(Message))

2) Array sizes need to be constant values. You cannot pass a variable for the array size unless it's declared as a constant; which if done inside the function is pointless anyway.

#define SCM SendClientMessage

    format(TM, 128,"[SERVER]{FFFFFF} %s", Message) return SCM(PlayerID, SexyBlue, TM);
}

Not sure if works tbh.
