Help with 'new' - ATGOggy - 15.04.2015

I had this doubt when writing codes for someone in 'Scripting Help'.

The problem is..
Imagine this is my code:

PHP код:



OnPlayerConnect(playerid)

{

    count++;

    new hello[count][128];

}

Can 'new' be created with its size set to any variable?
If no, is there any other way?

It can be, yes. Though, I don't understand fully what you mean by that code.

You are wrong. Array sizes MUST be determined before compilation. You cannot use a variable as a size.

The above code would produce the following errors:

Quote:

error 008: must be a constant expression; assumed zero
error 009: invalid array size (negative, zero or out of bounds)
error 036: empty statement
fatal error 107: too many error messages on one line

You have to set the array size to the highest possible value that might be used.

Okay, thanks for your help.

Also, if anyone knows any other answer, please post it.

There is no other answer. You must set a constant value (known at compile time). The only other option is to use foreach/y_iterate/linked lists with plugins, but only if they're relevant to what you're trying to do.
