Hm... Don't get me wrong, but I don't want to change the structure of the programming language. I just want to make the syntax more convenient.

I do this because in our code has a lot of repetitive places. Look at this:

PHP Code:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    SomePlayerFunction1(playerid, ...); // the first repetition
    SomePlayerFunction2(playerid, ...); // the second
    SomePlayerFunction3(playerid, ...); // the third
    ...
    // And there is more
} 


Obviously, all this code we are talking about one player. Why not simplify it?

PHP Code:

public OnPlayerConnect(player) // playerid -> player
{
    player.SomeFunction1(...);
    player.SomeFunction2(...);
    player.SomeFunction3(...);
    ...
} 


Looks nice, does not it?
And look at this:

PHP Code:

players.for
{
    if(!player.IsConnect()) // or !Player.Connected
    {
        continue;
    }
    
    player.Kick("You're a cheater!");
} 


It's very simple.
And this is a loop through all connected players:

PHP Code:

players.connected
{
    player.SetVelocity(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    
    // or
    
    Player.Velocity.X = 0.0;
    Player.Velocity.Y = 0.0;
    Player.Velocity.Z = 1.0;
    player.SetVelocity();
} 


This is the normal loop:

PHP Code:

for(i -> 10) // this is equivalent to: for(new i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
    // something there
}
