[Basicz]

stock is a code to make functions.

It won't send " Symbol is unused "strtok" " if you use stock.

Example :

pawn Code:

strtok( ... )
{
     return 1;
}

If you didn't use it, the compiler will sends a warning except if you use

pawn Code:

#pragma unused strtok

With stock, you can still add it without using it, without any warnings.

pawn Code:

stock strtok( ... )
{
    return 1;
}

Don't use timers or callbacks with stock, instead use forward( ); and public( )

pawn Code:

public OnGameModeInit( )
{
    SetTimer( "gmx", 3000, true );

    return 1;
}

stock gmx( ) // Wrong usage
    return GameModeExit( );

forward gmx( ); public gmx( ) // Correct usage
    return GameModeExit( );

I think wiki is enough.

& ( if you mean &&, scroll the page below ) signs means, you need to create it's own variable first, then use the function. Like :

pawn Code:

stock getName( playerid, &szName ) // idk, if it sends a error try &szName[ 24 ]
{
    GetPlayerName( playerid, szName, sizeof ( szName ) );

    return name; // forgot how to do this :P
}

// Somewhere
new 
    name[ 24 ]
;

getName( playerid, name );

print( "%s", name );

About && sign, it means 'And'

Example:

pawn Code:

if ( ( getPlayerName( playerid ) == "Basicz" ) && ( strlen( getPlayerName( playerid ) ) == strlen( "Basicz" ) ) ) { // blablabla } // if playername == basicz and strlen playername == strlen " basicz "

if ( isANoob( playerid ) && GetPlayerMoney( playerid ) < 3500 )
    return Ban( playerid ); // if isanoob && getplayermoney < 3500

A simple one.

Not really advanced, but hope this can help you.

( Im a noob too :P But hope this can help you )
