Could Someone explain this please?
especially the data[6] iName[64]

new data[6], iName[64]
 new access, callback
 
 menu_item_getinfo(menu, item, access, data,5, iName, 63, callback)

[CrazY.]

"data" will store item info (third parameter of menu_additem). "iName" will store display text of the item (second parameter of menu_additem).

If data[1] was used, up to 10 items would be possible ( 0 to 9 ).

data[6] allows 10000000 items in a menu, so I think data[2] is best.


NOTE:

If your menu does not discard items, AKA the menu always has the same amount of slots and has no slot content changing, use switch(item+1) instead of data. And you can basically transfer an array with data but it's useless unless again the menu is inconsistent or data stores the client ID if you make a menu that lists players.

Here's an example:

menu_additem(menu, "Hello!", "dab loll");

iName is equal to "Hello!" and data is equal to "dab l" because it doesn't have enough size being equal to 6.

No, data[] is not related to the number of menu items. The "data" array is for passing data along with the menu item. It can be used for any data that you want passed to the menu handler. Most often, it is used as a string to pass data when there is no intrinsic link between the data and the item index (e.g. when menu items are conditionally displayed) and you want to create more flexible and efficient code in the handler.

What I said

I saw this scripting method a lot, data[6] is like a signature of using slot numbersx
