Use strcmp to compare 2 strings - TimBuk.Ekh - 18.04.2009

Hey
Now I know how to use GameTextForPlayer,I tryied to make a different text if the cop kill you (GTA style

)
Si,I got that:

Code:

	new string[50];
	if(GetPlayerTeam(killerid) == "TEAM_COP")
	{
	  format(string, sizeof(string), "BUSTED");
	}
	else
	{
	  format(string, sizeof(string), "WASTED");
	}
  GameTextForPlayer(playerid, string, 3000, 2);

It gives me

Code:

error 033: array must be indexed (variable "-unknown-")

on the If line

I read that i got to use strcmp to compare 2 strings,but how can i do it?

Code:

if(strcmp(I don't know what to put here))

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

The use of strcmp (string compare) is easy. But, it can be a little bit tricky for beginners. There is 4 parameters in the function:

String number 1
String number 2
Case sensitivity (boolean) (NOT REQUIRED, will give false if not specified)
Length (NOT REQUIRED)

You may use it like that:

pawn Code:

String1 = "Hello";
  String2 = "hello";
  printf("%d", strcmp(String1, String2, false)); // will print "-1" as it is case sensitive because of the third parameter which is false.
  printf("%d", strcmp(String1, String2, true)); // will print "0" as the strings are matching.

That is how you use strcmp. Strcmp is also used for creating commands such as /kill, here is an example:

pawn Code:

if(strcmp(cmdtext, "/kill", true) == 0) // You may also use "!strcmp(cmdtext, "/kill", true))".
  {
    SetPlayerHealth(playerid, 0.0);
    return 1;
  }

Have fun scripting.
