A simple example of this would be: pawn Код: OnPlayerConnect(playerid){    new something;    //some random lines    new something;    return 1; } The variable is defined twice, which causes the warning. In your case, I think you've defined "str" somewhere in your own script. You can fix the warning by opening your script, look for something along the lines of "new str;" or "new str[some number here];", and change "str" into something else.

Not necessarily.

I'm positive this code would generate the same warning:

pawn Код:

new str[128];

main()
{
}

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    new PlayerName[24];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, PlayerName, sizeof(PlayerName));
    new str[128]; // <- warning
    format(str, sizeof(str), "Hey, %s!", PlayerName);
    SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFFF, str);
    return true;
}

And renaming is perhaps not the best solution. I'm not familiar with the YSI framework but I can make assumptions str is used there. Switching to use global strings only would be a good call.
