Thank you, BAILOPAN

Re: New API and Syntax

Compile time error on this code

PHP Code:


		
			
methodmap Player
{
    public Player( int playerIndex )
    {
        if (!IsClientInGame(playerIndex))
            return INVALID_PLAYER;
        return Player:EntIndexToEntRef(playerIndex);
    }

    property int index { public get() { return EntRefToEntIndex(_:this); }  }

}

it expect new line for some reason so for small function that I want to put into 1 line is not possible.

PHP Code:


		
			
methodmap Player
{
    public Player( int playerIndex )
    {
        if (!IsClientInGame(playerIndex))
            return INVALID_PLAYER;
        return Player:EntIndexToEntRef(playerIndex);
    }

    property int index { public get() { return EntRefToEntIndex(_:this); 
}  }

}

still an error since the last } is not a new line

but

PHP Code:


		
			
methodmap Player
{
    public Player( int playerIndex )
    {
        if (!IsClientInGame(playerIndex))
            return INVALID_PLAYER;
        return Player:EntIndexToEntRef(playerIndex);
    }

    property int index { public get() { return EntRefToEntIndex(_:this); 
}  
}

}

work...

I know it a not a big issue but logically everything above should compile fine.

Re: New API and Syntax

Are you sure you're using the latest snapshots of the 1.7 compiler? I remember there being some parsing issues re: methodmaps in the past, but it should all be working now.

Re: New API and Syntax

I didn't have the lasted version, I will check it out, thank you

EDIT: same issue

expected a newline, but found }

NEW:

@warning: to people using VFormat in methods, the arguments position is +1 from what it visually look.
@question: will that ever change or it will stay that way? I suppose it make sense since the first argument is hidden of the self object.

NEW 2:

@VoiDeD sorry to ask you again, in your example you call some functions with entity reference instead of index

PHP Code:


		
			
public void SetProp( PropType propType, const char[] propName, int value, int size = 4, int element = 0 )
{
    SetEntProp( this.Ref, propType, propName, value, size, element );
}

I was wondering how is that affecting the code compare to indexes, is there a particular reason that you use the reference on top of the index?

Re: New API and Syntax

Question: How can a native get a function from its arguments now?

I'm mostly trying to do the private forwards shown in: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Function...ivate_Forwards

But doing "Function:GetNativeCell(1)" gives a warning now:

./scripting/multi1v1/natives.sp(229) : warning 237: coercing functions to and from primitives is unsupported and will be removed in the future

Is there a safer way to do this now?

GetNativeFunction.

Ah, I missed that. Thanks!

Re: New API and Syntax

What is garbage collection anyway? I tried to read on google but still can't understand at all....

It's where memory is freed of unused blocks
