It is used to show what type of function it is.

'fw' is generally used for forward.

It isn't required, but I recommend to use it so the readability is easier for other users.

Then what the hell is Fw / Forward ?????

The use of fw_ in the function names is just a naming convention people use, it bears no difference how you name functions.

Example, this is valid though will confuse lots of newbies

RegisterHam( Ham_Spawn , "player" , "PlayerDeath" , true );

Sticking to a common naming convention allows other people who are reviewing your code to be able to easily determine what each function and variable do or contain. There is no requirement to using a naming convention though

Won't it be much easier to work with:

PHP Code:

RegisterHam( Ham_Spawn , "player" , "Ham_PlayerDeath" , true ); 


Ham_ defines a Ham constant rather then using fw_
Thanks anyway!

I hope you can answer my thread:

this is really stupid

if (id < 0)
id = 0;
if (id > 31)
id = 31;


How about the 32 player ?

Like he said, it doesn't matter what you name it, technically. I could even do this if I wanted to:

PHP Code:

RegisterHam(Ham_Spawn, "player", "lkasjfoiyerwopepirjsdf", 1); 


It is entirely subjective. However, If you do it like I did above, it will just be harder to interpret the code.

I don't know C++ well but I'm pretty sure that "id" is not referring to a player entity since "index" is the first argument of the function (aka the player entity that is often written as "id" in plugins). You are forgetting that "id" is not a special variable, it can be anything that you want it to be.
