Hello everyone.
I just wanted to hear how you organize your scripts.
I am in the process of starting a whole new gamemode.
I want my script to be spread into different filterscripts.
But there are some custom-made functions, that I would like to use throughout all the scripts.
Should I just put those functions in a seperate .pwn and include it in ann the scripts?
Or should I just keep the entire script in one?

Mind reading his question..

OT: I usually put them at the bottom of the script.

If you want to spread your code in different files (for example to work with it more easily), I recommend you to create includes with hooked callbacks. When I was a complete newbie at scripting I opened this thread asking if that is a good option and ****** said it is. Filterscripts have the advantage of you being able to load and unload them while the server is running, but there's a limit in the number of them you can use at the same time.

If you have your own custom functions and you want to use them in different filterscripts, make them public and use CallRemoteFunction.

So the best idea is to keep it all in one script?
What about making the different systems in different files, like having the main gamemode with the login/register system and so on in one file, and the house system in another file, and the vehicle system in a third file etc., and then #include the house and vehicle system in the gamemode before compiling?

Like Gryphus One said, it's better to have them loaded in filterscripts, using remote callbacks. That way, you can reload parts of your mode without having to restart your server.

Normally, I'd keep it within one script because it's best to have everything I need in one huge file without having to dig through others. If I feel that I need to separate it, I'll use a modular method or filterscripts.

Yea. The modular method is having the different systems spread in different .pwn files, and then #includ it into the gamemode, right?

but if I simply #include the script files together, I don't need all that hook stuff, do I?
