Is a stock needed? - ServerScripter - 06.11.2013

I made this :

pawn Код:
public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)                    
{
  GiveStuffs(playerid);
    return 1;
}
pawn Код:
forward GiveStuffs(playerid);
public GiveStuffs(playerid)
{
  // here I will check teams & give positions /weapons....
   return 1;
}
the question is should I use a stock instead of the callback ?

I generally use stocks for the stuff you are going to use them for.

You should read up on stocks and functions. Learn the difference between them.

Always add public to your function when it is called by
  • a timer, (see also SetTimer and SetTimerEx),
  • CallLocalFunction,
  • CallRemoteFunction.
If you do not call it anywhere (by those functions above), then you simply don't need it. You can either use it as:
pawn Код:
GiveStuffs(playerid)
{
  // here I will check teams & give positions /weapons....
   return 1;
}
stock is used in case you do not want to use that function - so it won't give the error about symbol is never used.

Thanks a lot both Publics are used by timers generally but this will not make a problem if I use them
