CharToLower()

Hi guys. I need help with this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
public Action OnClientCommand(int client, int args)

{

    char cmd[16];

    GetCmdArg(0, cmd, sizeof(cmd));

    

    if (StrEqual(CharToLower(cmd), "help"))

    {

        return Plugin_Handled;

    }

    

    return Plugin_Continue;

}

This code return error: error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 1)
Why is

PHP Code:


		
			
if (StrEqual(CharToLower(cmd), "help"))

not working? or how to use it?

Re: CharToLower()

Try this:

PHP Code:


		
			
public Action OnClientCommand(int client, int args) 

{ 

    char cmd[16]; 

    GetCmdArg(0, cmd, sizeof(cmd)); 

     

    if (StrEqual(cmd, "help", false)) 

    { 

        return Plugin_Handled; 

    } 

     

    return Plugin_Continue; 

}

PHP Code:


		
			
bool StrEqual(const char[] str1, const char[] str2, bool caseSensitive)

Re: CharToLower()

CharToLower only take 1 char not a string but you can accomplish what you are looking for with Wyon answer

Re: CharToLower()

CharToLower only works on single characters. As Wyon said, StrEqual has an optional argument that you can set to false to do a case-insensitive comparison (i.e. it will consider "HELP", "help", "hElP", etc... to be equal).

Actually, that reminds me, I wonder if the doc creator will ever be updated to show the default values of optional arguments. The actual signature for StrEqual is

PHP Code:


		
			
stock bool StrEqual(const char[] str1, const char[] str2, bool caseSensitive=true)

but the "=true" is missing from the documentation page for it.

It's supposed to also show up in the actual prototype.

What we see:

PHP Code:


		
			
bool StrEqual(const char[] str1, const char[] str2, bool caseSensitive)

What we should see:

PHP Code:


		
			
stock bool StrEqual(const char[] str1, const char[] str2, bool caseSensitive=true)

It still shows that the default for that parameter is true, but yes I agree it would be nice if default values for parameters were shown in the docs properly
