Passing string to CreateTimer Function

Hello. I have this error: error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 3)

I am trying to pass a string variable to the createTimer function.

Code:

new String:steamid[25];

        

if(GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_Steam2, steamid, sizeof(steamid))) {

        CreateTimer(2.0, saveBan, steamid);

}



public Action saveBan(Handle timer, any steamid) {

.......

}

This method does not work either: (now this error: error 100: function prototypes do not match)

Not working:

Code:

public Action saveBan(Handle timer, char[] steamid) {

.........

}

Not working:
( error 100: function prototypes do not match)

Code:

public Action saveBan(Handle timer, const char[] steamid) {

........

}

What is the solution? I am confused! Thanks :wink:

Re: Passing string to CreateTimer Function

My question is why are you waiting 2 seconds to save a ban?

Sounds like an XY problem.

The second parameter must be any, Handle, or simply absent. Who told you that char[] would work?

You could use GetSteamAccountID (int) instead.

Re: Passing string to CreateTimer Function

It does not work because it needs to be:

PHP Code:


		
			
public Action TimerCallback(Handle timer, Handle hndl, any data*);

* This is not needed, just use Handle timer, Handle hndl
// any data is some info stored on the action you created the timer.

Best Regards, Hope I could help you ;)

Re: Passing string to CreateTimer Function

the prototype does not match, the function expects a variable, not a array

Re: Passing string to CreateTimer Function

Maybe there is more efficient method, but this should work

PHP Code:


		
			
#define STEAMID_CHARSTR_LENGTH 25



...(...)

{

    char steamid[STEAMID_CHARSTR_LENGTH];

    if(GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_Steam2, steamid, sizeof(steamid))) 

    {

        DataPack pack;

        

        CreateDataTimer(2.0, saveBan, pack);

        

        for(int i = 0; i < STEAMID_CHARSTR_LENGTH; ++i)

        {

            pack.WriteCell(view_as<int>(steamid[i]));

        }

    }

}

public Action saveBan(Handle timer, DataPack pack) 

{

    pack.Reset();

    char steamid[STEAMID_CHARSTR_LENGTH];

    for(int i = 0; i < STEAMID_CHARSTR_LENGTH; ++i)

    {

        steamid[i] = view_as<char>(pack.ReadCell());

    }

    

    //done

}
