Hey, so I want to make a plugin for this dude on this post and I started making it. And after a while I was wondering how to save data from players. So here is the concept.

I want to make a plugin that when you hit level 10 (OciXCrom XP Plugin), you will have classes and you can choose your class, every class has different "abilities". Now what I did is simple checking for player current level and making menus.

And the way it is now, its quite simple, but when you have more classes , how do you remember which class did that player choose, how do I store which class did that player have, and store his "id".

If you're looking to save multiple pieces of data for each player, I would use nVault Array or SQL. I would create an enumerator for all data components and size the array with that, and use steam id as the key.

PHP Code:

enum PlayerData
{
    szName[ 33 ],
    XPLevel,
    szFavoriteIceCream[ 16 ]
}
new pdData[ MAX_PLAYERS + 1 ][ PlayerData ];

So that would save data for each player, if this works how I think it is, this is awesome. I'm sorry if this question is kinda dumb, I started coding like 7-8 days ago

Yea, but you still need to know what you're doing to make it work correctly. This may be too big of a job at your experience level, but give it a try.

I had experience in coding before, and this is preatty easy, for some reason I'm addicted to pawning now.

There is something in helping people that makes you feel better about yourself. I learned pawning for myself, but I have nothing to do with it now so I can at least help others.

Yeah if you have background in other languages, like C or something similar, you should pick it up pretty easy..at least for syntax.

The way the game/plugins work you may need some help with.

So I got a quick look at this and if I got it correctly, you can store your arrays, strings and what not, and than just pull it from PlayerData, than I can just see if there is a player who isn't stored in PlayerData?

Edit: I could even do read_data() right?

[Bugsy]

Using what I posted above, you would set data to the player array like this:

PHP Code:

pdData[ id ][ XPLevel ] = 55;
get_user_name( id , pdData[ id ][ szName] , charsmax( pdData[][ szName ] ) ); 


When it comes time to load and save the data, you would store/save using pdData[ id ]. This would include all data defined in the enum, since the enum was used to size the array.

Not sure what you mean with read_data(). This is used to read a parameter of a game event, like the killer or victim ID in a DeathMsg.
