Ternary Operator - AMouldyLemon - 12.03.2016

Code:

new gender[16];
new IsPlayerMale = (IsPlayerMale(playerid)) ? format(gender, sizeof(gender), "Male") : format(gender, sizeof(gender), "Female"); // 429

Code:

(429) : error 012: invalid function call, not a valid address
(429) : warning 215: expression has no effect
(429) : error 001: expected token: ";", but found ")"
(429) : error 029: invalid expression, assumed zero
(429) : fatal error 107: too many error messages on one line

Not sure why this won't work. First time using the Ternary Operator.

The problem isn't with the ternary operator. You have given the variable the same name as the function.

pawn Code:

new isMale = (IsPlayerMale(playerid)) ? format(gender, sizeof(gender), "Male") : format(gender, sizeof(gender), "Female"); // 429

isMale won't actually contain a useful value; it will just be whatever format returns. If you need to use format, then in this case you may as well just use a normal if/else statement.

Otherwise, this is how you use strings in a ternary operator:

pawn Code:

new gender[7];
gender = IsPlayerMale(playerid) ? ("Male") : ("Female");
