General Scripting Question - ledzep - 04.07.2009

I have no idea what this particular code is called, but I found it very useful when making commands that had optional strings.

https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Fast_Comm...tional_strings

Код:

...
format(reason, sizeof (reason), "You have been banned%s%s.", reason[0] ? (" for: ") : (""), reason);
...

Could someone tell me what this is called and where I can learn more about how to use it?

Thanks,
ledzep

It's called a conditional expression, and you can learn about it by reading the pawn manual.

a ? b : c is like "if a is true then do b, else do c"

Re: General Scripting Question - UsaBoy91 - 04.07.2009

you mean at this ?

pawn Код:

? (" for: ") : (""),

Awesome.
That's definitely easier to understand than the Pawn_Language_Guide.pdf.

Thanks again.
