Alright so i was wondering, when using

pawn Код:

CreatePickup

Does it have to be assigned as a Variable to make it work or can i just use it as pickup id 1 EX

pawn Код:

new ex1;
new ex2;

ex1 = CreatePickup(blah,blah)
ex2 = CreatePickup(blah,blah)

Or can i just do this

pawn Код:

CreatePickup(blah,blah)// Id=1
CreatePickup(blah,blah)// Id=2

And so it would look like this for OnPlayerPickupPickup

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerPickUpPickup(playerid, pickupid)
{
  if(pickupid == 1)
  {
    // Code here
  }
  if(pickupid == 2)
  {
    // Code here
  }
  return 1;
}

I am just wondering, because i am making a lot of pickups in my script and i don't want to use a shitload of variables.

1st - Pickup IDs start from 0 NOT 1, this may cause a problem if you DON'T use variables
2nd - Usage of variables are not needed but if you forget the ID of a pickup or what it does, you are fucked

Soo... To the point variables are good even you got shitloads of those, use them or not - it, is, your, choice...

I personally use variables as they are for easier access,

Thanks.

Go into this topic and read the "Assumptions" section.

The problem is not about simply forgetting the ID of the pickup. You're setting yourself up for a world of hurt if you ever decide to start deleting pickups or you have other scripts which create pickups.
