hallo, i have search about return string in this forum,
and most the people said sourcemod cannot do this.
so i have try..

PHP Code:

new String:mystring[64]

public getstring(CaseNum)
{
    switch(CaseNum)
    {
        case 1: FormatEx(mystring,63,"case1")
        case 2: FormatEx(mystring,63,"case2")
        //...etc
    }
} 


is this a good way to script like this?

sorry for my poor english

A search of "return string" brings up a clear example - http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=92878

PHP Code:

public getstring(CaseNum, String:str[], len) 


This should be intuitive. You use FormatEx in your code - what does this native do? You give it a string and the string's length, and it "returns" output based on implementation. By the same reasoning, surely you can work out that you needed to do the same, that is, change your function to accept a string, and the string's length.

PHP Code:

new String:mystring[64]

public getstring(CaseNum, String:str[], len)
{
    switch(CaseNum)
    {
        case 1: FormatEx(str,len,"case1")
        case 2: FormatEx(str,len,"case2")
        //...etc
    }
}

//Usage: getstring(number, mystring, sizeof(mystring))
