I'm attempting to learn PAWN, and I've hit a wall.

Код:

if(ABusinessData[BusID][Owner] == APlayerData[playerid][PlayerName])
{
// do code if true
}
else
{
// do code if false
}

I've debugged the results of
ABusinessData[BusID][Owner] -- This returns "Dave"
APlayerData[playerid][PlayerName] -- This returns "Dave"

----

When I use the query, it always returns true, never false.

You need to use a function to compare strings in PAWN.

pawn Код:

if( !strcmp( ABusinessData[BusID][Owner], APlayerData[playerid][PlayerName]) )
{
    //strings match if strcmp returns zero
}

Other useful string functions listed at bottom of that page.

Sorry, I only posted a snippet of the code to save space, I'll post the full code instead.

Код:

COMMAND:busmenu(playerid, params[])
{
	// Setup local variables
	new OptionsList[200], DialogTitle[200], BusID;

	// Check if the player has logged in
	if (APlayerData[playerid][LoggedIn] == true)
	{
	    BusID = APlayerData[playerid][CurrentBusiness];
	    if(ABusinessData[BusID][Owner] == APlayerData[playerid][PlayerName])
	    {
			// Check if the player is inside a business
			if (BusID != 0)
			{
				format(DialogTitle, sizeof(DialogTitle), "Select option for %s", ABusinessData[APlayerData[playerid][CurrentBusiness]][BusinessName]);
				format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sChange business-name\n", OptionsList);
				format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sUpgrade business\n", OptionsList);
				format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sRetrieve business earnings\n", OptionsList);
				format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sSell business\n", OptionsList);
				format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sExit business\n", OptionsList);
				// Show the businessmenu
				ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DialogBusinessMenu, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, DialogTitle, OptionsList, "Select", "Cancel");
			}
			else
			{
				SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "You're not inside a business");
			}
		}
		else
		{
			return 0;
		}
	}
	else
	{
	    return 0;
	}

	// Let the server know that this was a valid command
	return 1;
}

Swap

For

My bad, misread your original post, thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Eek, double post..

I've still got the problem, no matter what, the dialogue always shows, even if the values are different, any idea why?

Код:

COMMAND:busmenu(playerid, params[])
{
	// Setup local variables
	new OptionsList[200], DialogTitle[200], BusID;

	// Check if the player has logged in
	if(APlayerData[playerid][LoggedIn] == true)
	{
	    BusID = APlayerData[playerid][CurrentBusiness];
	    if(!strcmp(ABusinessData[BusID][Owner], APlayerData[playerid][PlayerName]))
	    {
			// Check if the player is inside a business
			if (BusID != 0)
			{
				format(DialogTitle, sizeof(DialogTitle), "Select option for %s", ABusinessData[APlayerData[playerid][CurrentBusiness]][BusinessName]);
				format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sChange business-name\n", OptionsList);
				format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sUpgrade business\n", OptionsList);
				format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sRetrieve business earnings\n", OptionsList);
				format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sSell business\n", OptionsList);
				format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sExit business\n", OptionsList);
				// Show the businessmenu
				ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DialogBusinessMenu, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, DialogTitle, OptionsList, "Select", "Cancel");
			}
			else
			{
				SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "You're not inside a business");
			}
		}
		else
		{
			SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "You're not the owner of this business");
		}
	}
	else
	{
	    return 0;
	}

	// Let the server know that this was a valid command
	return 1;
}

Add a print to see what value BusID is. Only if it is none zero the dialog will be shown.

pawn Код:

COMMAND:busmenu(playerid, params[])
{
    // Setup local variables
    new OptionsList[200], DialogTitle[200], BusID;

    // Check if the player has logged in
    if(APlayerData[playerid][LoggedIn] == true)
    {
        BusID = APlayerData[playerid][CurrentBusiness];
        if(!strcmp(ABusinessData[BusID][Owner], APlayerData[playerid][PlayerName]))
        {
            // Check if the player is inside a business
            
            printf("BusID == %d", BusID);
            if (BusID != 0)
            {
                //if BusID is any number exept zero this will be executed.
                format(DialogTitle, sizeof(DialogTitle), "Select option for %s", ABusinessData[APlayerData[playerid][CurrentBusiness]][BusinessName]);
                format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sChange business-name\n", OptionsList);
                format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sUpgrade business\n", OptionsList);
                format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sRetrieve business earnings\n", OptionsList);
                format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sSell business\n", OptionsList);
                format(OptionsList, sizeof(OptionsList), "%sExit business\n", OptionsList);
                // Show the businessmenu
                ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DialogBusinessMenu, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, DialogTitle, OptionsList, "Select", "Cancel");
            }
            else
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "You're not inside a business");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "You're not the owner of this business");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return 0;
    }

    // Let the server know that this was a valid command
    return 1;
}

TIP: use [pawn] tags instead of [code].
