How to set a variable to string - aCloudy - 27.04.2015

Hello.
Can someone how to set something to string not to a number.
Example:

Код:

label = params;

But the code above won't work because "params" is not a number, Can someone tell me what is the function to set label string params ?

EDIT:

pawn Код:

strpack(label, params);
// You also can use also 'format' but in this case you don't need to format string and 'strpack' is much faster

Do you mean like:

pawn Код:

new label[128];
format(label, sizeof(label), "%s", params);

Are you confused with strcpy? Strpack, as its name suggests, packs the string to use less space. However, many functions do not work well, or even at all with packed strings so you'll need to unpack it first before using it.
