Hi. When i try to use "%" in the chat, the "%" becomes "#".

[nGen.SoNNy]

Yeah because % it's used on things like %s %d %e %i

Otherwise, if you tried to use "SendClientMessage(playerid -1, "Hi, we are now 100% sure that you are a human);". In script it is all ok but It will show "Hi we are 100# sure that you are human." Instead of "Hi, we are now 100% sure that you are human"

Odd choice of string size, the array is 18 cells bigger than OnPlayerText can send to the client :P

A fix? I'm pretty certain it was sanitized on purpose.

Maybe, but thats doesn't matter.

If he want to use a % in chat...he can use my code

Right, right. Now imagine someone using your code without knowing the consequences and using format() with the player text as an argument.

@Kal', wouldn't your "fix" fail if a player wanted to use a '#' in their chat? Yes.

Here is a fix:

PHP Code:

stock _Fix(const string[],bool:chat=false) {
    new tmp[145],pos = strfind(string,"#");
    strcat(tmp,string);
    if(pos == -1) return tmp;
    for(;;) {
        if(tmp[((pos-1) < 0)?0:(pos-1)] != '\\') {
            strdel(tmp,pos,pos+1),strins(tmp,(!chat)?("%%"):("%%%%"),pos,sizeof tmp);
            pos = strfind(tmp,"#",false,pos+((!chat)?(2):(4)));
        }
        else {
            strdel(tmp,pos-1,pos);
            pos = strfind(tmp,"#",false,pos);
        }
        if(pos == -1) break;
    }
    return tmp;
} 


# => %
And if you want to write a #, you have to write this in the chat: \#

Have fun. Maybe it will fix in the next changelog? @Kalcor:
