CallRemoteFunction sending PlayerText value - DeStunter - 17.05.2014

I am currently working on a gamemode, and I prefer object oriented programming so I have been working on a SpawnSelection include file. Everything is working great, been using hooked methods to make everything plug and play, but I ran into a issue with trying to send a PlayerText value through CallRemoteFunction to OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw. not sure how to exactly send this value when there is not a format for it on https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/CallRemoteFunction

I am just wondering if there is any way to do it.

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw(playerid, PlayerText:playertextid)
{
//Not sure what to use where the ? mark is or if I need to just use the dirty method of not using CallRemoteFunction
    CallRemoteFunction("SS_OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw", "d?", playerid, playertextid);
    return 1;
}

#if defined _ALS_OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDra
    #undef OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw
#else
    #define _ALS_OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDra
#endif
#define OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw SS_OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw
forward SS_OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw(playerid, PlayerText:playertextid);

CallRemoteFunction("SS_OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw", "di", playerid, _:playertextid);

The "x:" syntax means "pretend the following symbol is this tag". The default tag for integers that don't have a tag specified (like your "playerid" variable) is "_".

Oho, So essentially _: tells it to ignore the tag and treat the integer value as a integer value. That's very useful. Much thanks for the explanation. This reminds me of casting object to other objects in Java.
