Well, guys I need help on some simple code. Well I created a /shop dialog box with weapons and armor. What I need now, is for players not to abuse the Armor that can be bought from the /shop. At Dialog response, I use SetPlayerArmour but what I need help now is, how do I set it to that the player can only buy Armor once per life, and only after death they can buy again. For example, in 1 life, they can't buy more than once. How do I do that?

All help will be appreciated and rewarded with +REP. Thanks, in advance.

Pretty simple:
1. Create a boolean array of all players

pawn Код:

new bool:ArmourUsed[MAX_PLAYERS char] = { false, ... };

2. When player buys armour, set his state

pawn Код:

ArmourUsed{playerid} = true;

3. When player wants to buy armour again, check if he already did it

pawn Код:

if (ArmourUsed{player}) return rejectOrSomething();

4. Reset his state on spawn or wherever you want

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)
{
    // (...)
    ArmourUsed{playerid} = false;
    // (...)
}

And you are done!

I don't think you can store boolean value inside a char. ;-; [ just did some tests / prints found result wasn't correct. ], may you double check that?

PHP код:

new bool:WhatBro[20 char] = {true, ...};
public OnFilterScriptInit()
{
    for(new i = 0; i < 20; i++)
    {
        printf("%s - %d",(WhatBro{i}) ? ("True") : ("False"), i);
    }
} 


result:

PHP код:

False - 0
False - 1
False - 2
True - 3
False - 4
False - 5
False - 6
True - 7
False - 8
False - 9
False - 10
True - 11
False - 12
False - 13
False - 14
True - 15
False - 16
False - 17
False - 18
True - 19

I'll wait. The help is really much appreciated guys. Will REP you once this matter is solved.

Oh shit, sorry - it can hold a bool, just array initialization does not work. So, all you need for OP's question is

pawn Код:

new bool:ArmourUsed[MAX_PLAYERS char];

as all values will be false anyway.
If you need set all to true, you have to do it by hand:

pawn Код:

new bool:WhatBro[20 char]; 
main() 
{ 
    for(new i = 0; i < 20; i++) WhatBro{i} = true;
}

@jlalt: I've thought of a different idea:

pawn Код:

#define CHAR_TRUE bool:cellmax

new bool:WhatBro[20 char] = { CHAR_TRUE, ... };
