Hey everyone,

I was messing with this code for hours now and I still could not figure out what's wrong.

Here's the code:

pawn Код:

else if(LocationStatus[i] == 2)
                {
                  GetPVarString(i,"lastlocation",lastloc,sizeof(lastloc));
                  if(!strlen(lastloc))
                  {
                    format(lastloc, sizeof(lastloc), "%s", zone);
                    SendAllMsg(RED, "lastloc did not contain anything - set to: '%s'", lastloc);
                  }
                  SendAllMsg(RED, "Getting string into lastloc from lastlocation - output: '%s'", lastloc);
                  format(oldloc, sizeof(oldloc), "%s", lastloc);
                  if(strcmp(oldloc, zone, true))
                  {
                    GameTextForPlayer(i, zone, 1000, 1);
                    SendAllMsg(RED, "location names are different - oldloc: '%s' new loc: '%s'", lastloc, zone);
                    }
                }

Problem: As you can see I added debug lines to see how stuffs get called. When I'm using this code, the only message I get is SendAllMsg(RED, "Getting string into lastloc from lastlocation - output: '%s'", lastloc); and nothing else. Also, the gametext does not show up. I tried changing strcmp to == 0 but it did not work either.
Please help me!

Thanks,
bpeterson

The gametext should be displayed if the names are different. Try this code to see where everything really fails

pawn Код:

else if(LocationStatus[i] == 2)
{
  GetPVarString(i,"lastlocation",lastloc,sizeof(lastloc));
    printf("1, lastloc= %s", lastloc);
  if(!strlen(lastloc))
  {
        printf("2");
    format(lastloc, sizeof(lastloc), "%s", zone);
        printf("3, lastloc= %s, zone= %s", lastloc, zone);
    SendAllMsg(RED, "lastloc did not contain anything - set to: '%s'", lastloc);
        printf("4");
  }
    printf("5");
  SendAllMsg(RED, "Getting string into lastloc from lastlocation - output: '%s'", lastloc);
    printf("6");
  format(oldloc, sizeof(oldloc), "%s", lastloc);
    printf("7, lastloc= %s, oldloc= %s", lastloc, oldloc);
  if(strcmp(oldloc, zone, true))
  {
        printf("8, zone= %s", zone);
    GameTextForPlayer(i, zone, 1000, 1);
        printf("9");
        SendAllMsg(RED, "location names are different - oldloc: '%s' new loc: '%s'", lastloc, zone);
        printf("10");
    }
    printf("11");
}

Ok, I tried that code, here's what did it give:

Код:

[15:22:22] 1, lastloc= Downtown San Fierro
[15:22:22] 5
[15:22:22] 6
[15:22:22] 7, lastloc= Downtown San Fierro, oldloc= Downtown San Fierro
[15:22:22] 11
[15:22:23] 1, lastloc= Downtown San Fierro
[15:22:23] 5
[15:22:23] 6
[15:22:23] 7, lastloc= Downtown San Fierro, oldloc= Downtown San Fierro
[15:22:23] 11
etc...

As you can see, strcmp does not get called.
I still don't know what can be wrong..

Should be

Код:

if(strcmp(oldloc, zone, true) == 0)

[bpeterson]

Yes, I've already tried that but it still shows the gametext, altought it has always the same text.

Output with Jefff's code:

Код:

[15:31:43] 1, lastloc= Esplanade East
[15:31:43] 5
[15:31:43] 6
[15:31:43] 7, lastloc= Esplanade East, oldloc= Esplanade East zone= Esplanade East
[15:31:43] 8, zone= Esplanade East
[15:31:43] 9
[15:31:43] 10
[15:31:43] 11

EDIT: If I change strcmp to if(strcmp(oldloc, zone, true) == 1) it will be the same as with if(strcmp(oldloc, zone, true))

*BUMP*

[dice7]

Strcmp doesn't get called, because the location names are the same and you have it set to get called when they aren't

[Jefff]

So should be

Код:

if(strcmp(oldloc, zone, true) != 0)

xd

I had that too, did not work either, so i removed it. It wasn't so useful anyway. :P

Thanks for the help btw.
