Ok i'm trying to make a way for cops to pick there skins when they go on duty. How could i make a skin selection without having to use add player class, They duty up and if they haven't set a skin then they get to pick there skin by going through like a skin selection type deal, Almost like class slection but it's not class selection they use keys nshit to go through the skins and once they pick one they press another key and it sets the skin they choosed to there skin.

I'm trying to make this so they don't have do to F4 and kill to change the pd skin, so all they'd have to do is type a command and it bring them to thew skin selection.

Maybe try doing it via this way...

pawn Код:

COMMAND:afk(playerid, params[])
{
SetPlayerSkin(playerid, SKINID);
    return 1;
}

I don't know how to make it any easier, if someone does, please help :3

I want them to be able to view the skin before selecting it.

They cant view the skin but you could save the skin they had, like

pawn Код:

new
    lSelSkin[MAX_PLAYERS] = {-1, ...};

COMMAND:selskin(playerid, params[]) {
    if(lSelSkin[playerid] == -1) {
        lSelSkin[playerid] = GetPlayerSkin(playerid); //saves their current skin
        SelectSkin(playerid); //calls the selection function
    } else {
        lSelSkin[playerid] = -1; //resets the variable => stops the timer
    }
}

A selection skin function can look like that, another good example is in the grandlarc gm

pawn Код:

forward SelectSkin(playerid);
public SelectSkin(playerid) {
    if(lSelSkin[playerid] != -1) {
        new
            skin,
            keys,
            leftright;
        GetPlayerKeys(playerid, keys, skin, leftright); //get the keys
        if(keys == KEY_ACCEPT) { //accept
            lSelSkin[playerid] = -1; //resets the variable
            return ; //stop
        } else if(keys == KEY_ABORT) { //abort
            SetPlayerSkin(playerid, lSelSkin[playerid]); //give his old skin back
            lSelSkin[playerid] = -1; //resets the variable
            return ; //stop
        }
        if(leftright != 0) { // not perfect since there are only 284 skins, in the 300 numbers
            skin = GetPlayerSkin(playerid);
            if(leftright < 0) {
                if(--skin == -1) {
                    skin = 299;
                }
            } else {
                if(++skin == 300) {
                    skin = 0;
                }
            }
            SetPlayerSkin(playerid, skin);
        } //recalls the code still abort / accept or disconnect 
        SetTimerEx("SelectSkin", 250, false, "i", playerid);
    }
}

To stop the timer if the player leaves and to reset the variable

pawn Код:

//OnPlayerDisconnect
    lSelSkin[playerid] = -1;

I didn't quite understand how the y_classes and y_groups worked by lookin at the thread where it mentions them. This made it easier for me to understand, Thank you ******. I'll be downloading the svn
