STR DEFINE to INTEGER

[mysticssjgoku4]

So this is irritating. Why doesn't this work, and is there an alternative?


#define A_SG_Marines_3_val "30"

new g_Scans_Needed = str_to_num(A_SG_Marines_3_val);
new g_Scans[33][g_Scans_Needed];

Define it as an integer? o.o

new g_Scans[33][A_SG_Marines_3_val];

I need that define as a string.

I need that define as a string.

Tell me why and Ill give you a solution.

The function I use requires a string for the entire system of plugins I am coding, and I don't feel like editing through 1000's of lines of code changing it over, and unnecessarily converting over each number to a string before use just because I need just this one define as an integer.

#define g_Scans_Needed 30

new A_SG_Marines_3_val[ 3 ]
new g_Scans[33][ g_Scans_Needed ];

public plugin_init()
num_to_str( g_Scans_Needed , A_SG_Marines_3_val , 2 );

[mysticssjgoku4]

#define THENUMBER 30

new TheVar[ 33 ][ THENUMBER ];
new A_SG_Marines_3_val[ 3 ]; //Use this for all other functions that need the string

//plugin_init
num_to_str( THENUMBER , A_SG_Marines_3_val , 2 );

Hmm. Thanks, ill mess around and figure something out I suppose. I am trying to keep the system uniform in style.

Problem is that you can only use str_to_num(A_SG_Marines_3_val) in a function, and other problem is that you can only set an array size with a const.
That's why Bugsy took the problem in the other way, so you build the string from the const integer instead of retrieve the integer from the string.

Use Bugsy code, is better than mine, cuz my code is only an example starting with string (only to understand why your code doesn't work):


new const A_SG_Marines_3_val[] = "30";

new g_Scans_Needed = str_to_num(A_SG_Marines_3_val);
new g_Scans[33][g_Scans_Needed];


Also, maybe the num_to_str() is useless, depends on where you will use the string num... where? maybe in the function that you want to the num as string, you can use %d.

Sry for my english.

You cannot declare and array size with a non-constant variable (g_Scans_Needed). Your code will not compile.

[Alucard^]

So "new const" fix the problem? sry for not test this but, i have to go now xd, cya.

[Bugsy]

Just use what I posted above, it is the best way to do what you're trying to do. new const x = str_to_num() will not work if that's what you were going to try.
