[MP2]

That is pretty confusing, and I know all about strings and format(), so I think Faisal_khan is going to go when he looks at that. I did.

Here's a clear explanation of format (which is what he wants to know - not how it works internally..):

pawn Код:

format(string, length, "text", replacements);

The string is the string you want to 'format', you must declare it BEFORE using format():

pawn Код:

new string[128];

The length is best to be ignored, just put 'sizeof(string)'.

pawn Код:

format(string, sizeof(string), "text", replacements);

In the text is where we put our message. If we want to insert things such as numbers we need to specify where it should be inserted with 'specifiers'. A list of these can be found on the wiki. Here's a practical example:

pawn Код:

new name = "MP2";
new id = 69;
new Float:health = 100.0;

new string[128];
format(string, sizeof(string), "%s (ID: %i) has %0.2f health.", name, id, health);
SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, string);

Should output "MP2 (ID: 69) has 100.0 health". %0.2f means it will show only two decimal places.

The ordering is obviously important.
