Save String Array

Hi i was wondering how can i save a string for a specific player, i want to save the string when spawn and later load it in a condition ex:

Code:

////////////////////



new __int_String[32];



public fw_spawn( Client )

{

       get_user_name( Client, __int_String, charsmax(__int_String));



       set_task( 5.0, "LoadString", Client, _, _, "a", 1 );

}

public LoadString( Client )

{

       if(equal(__int_String, "XSlayer" ))

       {

              client_print( Client, print_chat, "XSlayer entered the game" );

       }

}





////////////////////

for a simple view the code is ok, but if other player enter the game after the 5 seconds, the string change, how can i save the string for personal client and then load it in a condition?

Edit: i don't understand what you are talking about but what i understand is you want to check if the player has the same nickname that has owned when joined the server.

PHP Code:


		
			
new g_iPlayerName[ 33 ][ 32 ]
public client_authorized( id )
{
    get_user_name( id , g_iPlayerName[ id ] , charsmax( g_iPlayerName[ ] ) );
}

public LoadString( Client )
{
    new szName[ 32 ]
    get_user_name( Client, szName, charsmax(szName));
    if(equal(g_iPlayerName[ Client ], szName ))
    {
        client_print( Client, print_chat, "%s entered the game", g_iPlayerName[ Client ] );
    }
}

PHP Code:


		
			
public LoadString( Client )
{
    new szName[ 32 ]
    get_user_name( Client, szName, charsmax(szName));
    
    if( !bNameChanged )
    {
        client_print( Client, print_chat, "%s entered the game", szName );
    }
}


public client_infochanged(id)
{
    static szNewName[32], szOldName[32]
    get_user_info(id, "name", szNewName, charsmax(szNewName))
    get_user_name(id, szOldName, charsmax(szOldName))
    
    if(!equal(szNewName, szOldName))
    {
        bNameChanged = true;
    }
    else
    {
        bNameChanged = false;
    }
}

Re: Save String Array

I think you're pretty close.

The missing part is you need a 2-dimension array so that each players name can be stored. Your current code would make each player overwrite the next.
You do not need to use flag 'a' with 1 in set_task() to execute the task once, that is only if you need it triggered/repeated more than once.
You want to call remove_task() on client_disconnect, just incase they disconnect between spawn and the 5 second task.

I would recommend you explain what you are trying to accomplish instead of asking questions in code.

PHP Code:


		
			
#define MAX_PLAYERS 32

#define MAX_NAME_LENGTH 32



new g_szName[ MAX_PLAYERS + 1 ][ MAX_NAME_LENGTH + 1 ];



public fw_spawn( Client )

{

    get_user_name( Client , g_szName[ Client ] , charsmax( g_szName[] ) );

    

    set_task( 5.0 , "LoadString" , Client );

}



public client_disconnect( Client ) 

{

    remove_task( Client );

}



public LoadString( Client )

{

    if ( equal( g_szName[ Client ] , "XSlayer" ))

    {

        client_print( Client , print_chat, "XSlayer entered the game" );

    }

}

    }
}

Thanks! and thanks for explaining the reasons why it didn't work, that helps me learn more and supremache too

Re: Save String Array

Why just not save the string in the set_task parameters?

PHP Code:


		
			
set_task( 5.0, "LoadString", Client, __int_String, sizeof  __int_String);

public LoadString( const szString[], Client )
{
       if(equal(szString, "XSlayer" ))
       {
              client_print( Client, print_chat, "XSlayer entered the game" );
       }
}
