I had the need of having a main plugin to provide a way of handling variables per client permanently so I can use one database to control every variable of my plugins. Something like when you do set_user_info(id,"x",3) but stored in a db, and unique. Its a really useful concept for me, and Arkshine also had the idea. This should be made for every kind of var (int,float,string). I made it only for int (for enums more specifically). Please tell me what you think about the implementation.

It provides a native:

PHP Code:

native Array:registerVar(varLabel[],Array:varValuesLabels) 


That can be used as follow:

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>

#define PLUGIN    "New Plugin"
#define AUTHOR    "Unknown"
#define VERSION    "1.0"

native Array:registerVar(varLabel[],Array:varValuesLabels)

new Array:option

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    
    new Array:optionLabels = ArrayCreate(10)

    ArrayPushString(optionLabels,"Off")
    ArrayPushString(optionLabels,"On")

    Array:option = registerVar("myOption",optionLabels)
    
    register_clcmd("changeOption","cmdChangeOption")
}

public userSpawn(id)
{
    if(ArrayGetCell(option,id))
    {
        // User has the option enabled
    }
}

public cmdChangeOption(id)
{
    // Changing the option
    ArraySetCell(option,id,!ArrayGetCell(option,id))
}

So, it's basically custom "user info" entries?

[joaquimandrade]

No. It's better. Users can't change it. Example of usage:

PHP Code:

new Array:gagged

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    
    new Array:options = ArrayCreate(10)
    ArrayPushString(options,"No")
    ArrayPushString(options,"Yes")
    
    gagged = registerVar("isGagged",options)
    
    register_clcmd("say","say")
    
    register_clcmd("gag","gag")
}

public say(id)
{
    if(ArrayGetCell(gagged,id))
    {
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
}

public gag(id)
{
    new player = ...
    
    ArraySetCell(gagged,player,1)
}

Further, I think you can do this in several different plugins:

gagged = registerVar("isGagged",options)

And the variable "gagged" will have the same value in each plugin if you register the same var called "isGagged" in each plugin. If that's the case, this method is very powerful and useful, because several plugins can make use of the same uniquely perpetual and global variables.

This could be used as a lazy-man's way to save XP for any mod like War3FT or Pokemod, for example. You could also save stats or other things. It's very convenient.

I'm still pondering about it...

Yes that's one of the points of having a cellarray (to share). Furthermore it can be created a menu in the plugin so the user can change every var on it (if the var allows it). Plus it can also be added an option so that an admin can search for a steamId an set a value on a variable for every player.
