Seperating functions? - seanny - 24.01.2014

I have a question, should I put my functions, enums and defines into their own .pwn/.inc files like below?:

pawn Код:

#include "../files/enums.pwn"
#include "../files/defines.pwn"

And what are the benefits and downsides?

There is ongoing disccusion in Discussion subforum - https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=356764

Benefits are quite simple - better separation than single .pwn blob, more control when using VCS like git, easier search for specific things. Read ****** post there though - usually you shouldn't group by types, but by modular functionality - so car specific things in one file, player specific things in other one.

Benefits

Much neater code.
Easier to track errors/warnings.

Downsides

Compilation time (loading and locating all .pwn and .inc files)

So far that is all I know, but I suggest you doing separate .pwn files because its much more neater and easier to track errors and warnings.

By feature: With this method you have your streamer in one file (hooks, variables, API etc), your vehicles in another, your police job in another, your admin system in another, etc... This is called "separation of concerns" and is programming basics!

No downsides, and to be honest, good scripters would script like that.

Re: Seperating functions? - seanny - 24.01.2014

Okay I made my decision, I'll convert my current scripts over to this method and any future projects will also use this method.
