Description
This is just a little include that uses OnPlayerCommandText() to process players' commands. Each command has a separate function like in dcmd, but zcmd calls them directly via CallLocalFunction(). Such method is much faster than when you successively compare the text player entered to each command you have in your script (especially if he send a nonexistent cmd, you pass though all then) and its superiority over the old way is proportional to the number of commands. I did a speed test when I've just statrted thinking about this approach, you can find its results here.
Usage
All you need to add a command is just make a public function using special pre-defined macro, like this:
or (old style):
Here params[] is the parameters string, playerid is an ID of the player who send this command.
That's all! Very easy, isn't it?
Important: Since v0.3 OnPlayerCommandText cannot be used anymore (also ZCMD_NO_CALLBACK option has been removed), but there are two new callbacks instead:
This one is called when someone sends a command. If you return 0 here, the command won't be performed.
And this one gets called after command execution, here if you do "return 0" the player will see standard "Unknown command" message. The "success" parameter is equal to value returned by command function returns (if it doesn't exist success will be 0).
Note that it's not necessary to add these callbacks to your script if you don't use them.
How to make two different commands doing the same thing
For example, you have /something cmd:
and you want to create another one such as /another that does what /something does. The simpliest way of doing that is:
Note #1: If you want to use zcmd in a filterscript, put this define before including:
Note #2: If you want to check whether parameters string is empty you should not do it like:
or :
because its length is never null (read more here), simply use isnull() included into zcmd:
Actually, if you use sscanf you don't need to do this as it has built-in isnull checking.
Here is an example of how you can make /givemoney command using zcmd with sscanf:

Usage
All you need to add a command is just make a public function using special pre-defined macro, like this:
pawn Code:
COMMAND:mycommand(playerid, params[]) // or CMD:mycommand(playerid, params[])
{
// Do something
return 1;
}
pawn Code:
command(mycommand, playerid, params[]) // or cmd(mycommand, playerid, params[])
{
// Do something
return 1;
}
That's all! Very easy, isn't it?
Important: Since v0.3 OnPlayerCommandText cannot be used anymore (also ZCMD_NO_CALLBACK option has been removed), but there are two new callbacks instead:
pawn Code:
OnPlayerCommandReceived(playerid, cmdtext[])
pawn Code:
OnPlayerCommandPerformed(playerid, cmdtext[], success)
Note that it's not necessary to add these callbacks to your script if you don't use them.
How to make two different commands doing the same thing
For example, you have /something cmd:
pawn Code:
COMMAND:something(playerid, params[])
{
// some stuff here
return 1;
}
pawn Code:
COMMAND:another(playerid, params[])
{
return cmd_something(playerid, params);
}
Note #1: If you want to use zcmd in a filterscript, put this define before including:
pawn Code:
#define FILTERSCRIPT
pawn Code:
if (!strlen(params))
{
// no parameters
}
pawn Code:
if (!params[0])
pawn Code:
if (isnull(params))
Here is an example of how you can make /givemoney command using zcmd with sscanf:
pawn Code:
COMMAND:givemoney(playerid, params[])
{
if (IsPlayerAdmin(playerid))
{
new
toplayerid, // the player we want to give money to
amount;
// extracting player's ID and amount from params
if (!sscanf(params, "ii", toplayerid, amount))
{
if (toplayerid != INVALID_PLAYER_ID)
{
new
message[40];
GivePlayerMoney(toplayerid, amount);
format(message, sizeof(message), "You got $%d from admin!", amount);
SendClientMessage(toplayerid, 0x00FF00FF, message);
}
else SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "That player is not connected");
}
else SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFFF, "Usage: /givemoney <playerid> <amount>");
}
else SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Only admins can use this command!");
return 1;
}
