[xtrafun.inc] Symbol already defined, if used with vexd include

vittu · **Author**

The compile error:

Code:

// J:\scripting\include\\amxmod_compat\xtrafun.inc(87) : error 025: function heading differs from prototype
// J:\scripting\include\\amxmod_compat\xtrafun.inc(87) : error 021: symbol already defined: "find_entity"

The problem:
xtrafun.inc will get a compile error if a plugin also includes Vexd_Utilities.inc, normally something that old would not use VexdUM.inc. But because Vexd_Utilities.inc now includes VexdUM.inc as of amxmodx 1.76b, it defines the stock find_entity in VexdUM_stock.inc which is also in xtrafun.inc.

This can be fixed in xtrafun.inc by checking if vexdum is used as shown in bold below:

Code:

#if !defined _vexd_bcompat_included
/* Find an entity ID from start_from_ent id (use 0 to start from
 * the beginning, category is either "classname", "target" or
 * "targetname", value is the name you are searching for */
stock find_entity(start_from_ent, category, value[]) {
	switch (category) {
		case target: return find_ent_by_target(start_from_ent, value)
		case targetname: return find_ent_by_tname(start_from_ent, value)
	}
	return find_ent_by_class(start_from_ent, value)
}
#endif

Also just wanted to point out it shows \\ in "include\\amxmod_compat", though that doesn't effect anything.

Thanks for the report. This is fixed as revision 3175.
