Public function cannot have default values? - Dayrion - 09.11.2016

Hello. That's the question.
Public functions (all of them are for timers) cannot have default values? If no, I need to create multiple functions?

PHP Code:



PUBLIC:kick(playerid, ban = false, login = false)

{

    Kick(playerid);

    return 1;

}

Code:

 error 059: function argument may not have a default value (variable "ban")

Why are you creating this like

PHP Code:



 PUBLIC:kick(playerid, ban = false, login = false)

Create like this

PHP Code:



PUBLIC:kick(playerid)
{
Kick(playerid);
return 1;
}

return 1;

}

Because I need to put arguments.. It's the purpose.. '-'

ban don't have default argument. you need to create it yourself .

He's trying, that's where he's at currently.

Apparently you can't use Public functions to do this. That is from a ****** search of "pawn error 059"

you can put this in another function like

Code:

forward public_kick(playerid, ban, login);

public public_kick(playerid, ban, login)
{
    Kick(playerid);
    return 1;
}

stock call_kick(delay, playerid, ban = false, login = false)
{
    SetTimerEx("public_kick", delay, 0, "iii", playerid, ban, login);
}

then just use call_kick to kick or you could use a define

As you are saying all of them are for timers you can use a defined function to use the defaults and use the actual syntax when giving it your own variable values.
or just use a stock like the guy above me, just with small changes.

PHP Code:



#define DefaultKick(%0, %1) SetTimerEx("public_kick", %0, 0, "iii", %1, false, false);

or 

stock call_kick(delay, playerid, ban = false, login = false)

{

    return SetTimerEx("public_kick", delay, 0, "iii", playerid, ban, login);

}

note the return, so now you can do mytimervariable=call_kick(1000, playerid); and kill the kick timer from mytimervariable.

Re: Public function cannot have default values? - OneDay - 10.11.2016

that define is not working and also has a semicolon

Code:

too many parameters
DefaultKick(playerid, true);

bad syntax
DefaultKick(playerid, .login=true);

if the defaults are not the same
#define DefaultKick(%0, %1) SetTimerEx("public_kick", %0, 0, "iii", %1, false, true);
DefaultKick(playerid, true);
has login to false in a hidden way not the default

Pretty smart, thanks.
