Hey guys, just wondering if any of you have came across this before and how you fixed it.

Basically this warning messages comes up:

local variable "sql" shadows a variable at a preceding level

OK, that's fine. But If I remove/comment out the variable, then the compiler tells me that 'sql' wasn't defined.

WTF?

Show the code.

it's because you are creating variables with the same name like:

Quote:

new sql; //top OnPlayerConnect(playerid) { new sql; }

to fix it just rename the variables

Quote:

new sql; //top OnPlayerConnect(playerid) { new sql2; }

Really? But I like keeping everything consistent

well if you create the variables inside callbacks you will not have problems

Quote:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid) { new sql; } public OnPlayerDisconnect(playerid, reason) { new sql; }

but if you create a variable anywhere in script then create another one with same name you will get that error again

Quote:

new sql: //top public OnPlayerConnect(playerid) { new sql;//error }

You should create the variable "sql" at top of script and not create it again on the whole script
