Hello there.
I'm wondering how can I switch 2 type of values with sscanf. What I mean?
Example, a player have to type the ID of a vehicle OR the plate of the vehicle.
So.. how can I make it?

PHP код:

CMD:rplate(playerid, params[])
{
    if(!GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid)) return SCM(playerid, RED, "You must be in a vehicle.");
    
    new 
        target,
        plate[12+EOS] = EOS;
    if(sscanf(params, "I(65535)S()[12]", target, plate)) 
        return SCM(playerid, LBLUE, "/rplate [blabla]");
    if(target == INVALID_VEHICLE_ID && strval(plate) < 2)
        return SCM(playerid, RED, "Error"); 


If I type nothing after /rplate, I've "Error" message. If I type an ID, this working too but if I type a plate I've "/rplate" message. I think because I is optionnal but I can't pass it.
So, I hope you understand what I mean.
Thanks you'!

Example:

PHP код:

CMD:rplate(playerid, params[])
{
    if(!GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid)) return SCM(playerid, RED, "You must be in a vehicle.");
    new
        target = INVALID_VEHICLE_ID,
        plate[13] = EOS
    ;
    if(!sscanf(params, "i", target))
    {
        // User typed an ID
        if(target == INVALID_VEHICLE_ID)
            return SCM(playerid, RED, "Error");
    }
    else if(!sscanf(params, "s[13]", plate))
    {
        // User typed a plate
        if(strlen(plate) < 2)
            return SCM(playerid, RED, "Error");
    }
    else SCM(playerid, LBLUE, "/rplate [blabla]");
    return 1;
} 


I'm assuming you were meant to use 'strlen' instead of 'strval'. If you are 'definitely' expecting the user to type in a parameter, it isn't an optional parameter. In this case, the user MUST enter either a string or an integer, so there really aren't any optional parameters in this instance. You could also replace 'plate' with 'params', but that's... optional.

Not sure if you are going to allow /rplate for both ID and plate (e.g. "/rplate 5 232") well i hope you still understand the logic which in my opinion, your code is confusing:

Код:

native IsValidVehicle(vehicleid); // Read https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/IsValidVe...e(playerid, params[])
{
	if(!GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid)) return SCM(playerid, RED, "You must be in a vehicle.");

	new 
		target,
		plate[12+1];

	if(!sscanf(params, "i", target))
	{
		if(IsValidVehicle(target))
		{
			// the target vehicle id is not valid/not exist
			return SCM(playerid, RED, "Error");
		}
		else
		{
			// codes if player typed /rplate [vehicleid]
			return 1;
		}
	}
	else if(!sscanf(params, "s[12]", plate)) // You sure it's a String (any text) not just a number? because i see strval()
	{
		if(strval(plate) < 2) // did you mean strlen() ?
		{
			// the plate text is a number less than 2 (i.e "/rplate 1"), did you mean strlen() ?
			return SCM(playerid, RED, "Error");
		}
		else
		{
			// codes if player typed /rplate [platetext]
			return 1;
		}
	}
	else
	{
		// either the player mistyped the parameters or didn't specify it
		return SCM(playerid, LBLUE, "/rplate [blabla]");
	}
}

Note: it will not work if the player typed /rplate [vehicleid] [platetext]

EDIT: Threshold is faster

If you want to make it for veh id OR veh plate - you can do custom sscanf argument.

Code:

Код:

SSCANF:vehicle(string[])
{
	new veh_id = INVALID_VEHICLE_ID;
	if ('0' <= string[0] <= '9')
	{
		new
		ret = strval(string);
		if (IsValidVehicle(ret))
		{
			return ret;
		}
	}

	for(new i = 0; i < GetVehiclePoolSize(); i++)
	{
		if(!strcmp(string, VehicleData[i][vehicle_plate], true))
		{
			veh_id = i;
			break;
		}
	}
	return veh_id;
}

Command:

Код:

new veh_model;
if(sscanf(params, "k<vehicle>", veh_model))
     {
         SCM(playerid, LBLUE, "/rplate [blabla]");
         return 1;
     }
     //Here you go, you can use it now

You just need to change VehicleData[i][vehicle_plate] lines for your vehicle array

Thanks you guyz. This is very interesting.
