static variable works, but not the 'new' - Beckett - 17.07.2015

PHP код:



// This belongs under OnPlayerUpdate

static str[7] /* Works fine, but when "new str[7]" doesn't work at all and GetVehicleSpeed returns 0. */

new Float:speed = GetVehicleSpeed(vid,false);

new round = floatround(speed);

vid = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);

format(str,sizeof(str),"%i MPH",round);

PlayerTextDrawSetString(playerid,Speed[playerid],str);

printf("(Speed: %i)",round);

Already so basically this, when 'str' variable is static it returns the correct speed, but when 'str' isn't static the GetVehicleSpeed returns 0 and I don't think the GetVehicleSpeed function needs to be posted here as it works perfectly when the 'str' variable is static.

"Str" variable isn't static:

pawn Код:

[03:00:18] (Speed: 0)
[03:00:18] (Speed: 0)
[03:00:18] (Speed: 0)
[03:00:18] (Speed: 0)

Variable is a static:

pawn Код:

[03:01:21] (Speed: 47)
[03:01:22] (Speed: 48)
[03:01:22] (Speed: 47)
[03:01:22] (Speed: 46)
[03:01:22] (Speed: 46)
[03:01:22] (Speed: 45)
[03:01:22] (Speed: 44)
[03:01:22] (Speed: 43)

Thanks!

Seems like OnPlayerUpdate wasn't the right place for this, created a timer which calculates the speed every 500ms fixed it.

Solved.

It's your own fault for placing it wrong (vid is set after getting the speed).

pawn Код:

new str[7], Float:speed = GetVehicleSpeed(GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid), false);
format(str, sizeof(str), "%i MPH", floatround(speed));
PlayerTextDrawSetString(playerid, Speed[playerid], str);

Static makes the value persist.

Yeah I've noticed that, thanks for the reply though.
