Right now i will also add Multi functional natives like arkshine suggested and as well as a native through which you can execute any public function with its name, this will make my plugin's API more flexbile

And what about CreateOneForward?

Provide me little info about that PLZ

@Others: If i change some stock functions and some private functions to public ones, it wont affect any thing, right ?? Coz i need to be care ful in making this plugin

I may be wrong because that stuff is too high level for me, but i feel that callfuncbegin should be faster with the function ID than with the function name, because each time you pass name, amxx has to retrieve corresponding ID, but i may be wrong.
If i'm right, then your stock fails because you can't pass id with such a stock.

As arkshine said, you could make a main native for this.

As all you said is quite abstract (dunno if this is the correct word), you should say more about what you exactly try to do.

Yep.

I tried to be as descriptive as possible but i will start over again:

Well, i m making a plugin in which there are around 20 natives, most of these natives only have the purpose of executing a specific function in the main plugin; see below for info:

Code:

// The native in the include file
native do_something_cool( id )

Code behind this native in the main plugin:

Code:

public _do_something_cool( id )
{
     // Execute the cool funciton
     some_cool_function( id )
     return 1;
}

Now since 20 of these natives are responsible for executing such functions in the main plugin, i thought of making one native which will execute the function by just its name; see below for more info:

Code:

native execute_function_byname( const function_name[] , player_index )

The code behind this native:

Code:

public _execute_function_byname( const function_name[], player_index )
{
    // Convert by-ref parameter
    param_convert( 1 )

    // We will use "" in the second parameter since we want to execute
    // da function in our own plugin !
    if ( callfunc_begin( function_name , "" ) )
    {
        callfunc_push_int( player_index )
        callfunc_end ( )
        return 1;
    }
}

Now through 1 native i will be able to execute a function and will remove those other 20 natives doing the same job
My question was that is there any other way of doing this instead of using callfunc_* ??
also if i were to change all the private and stock functions to public one's, it wont affect the functionaliy of the plugin ??

No it will work just fine. All it will change is that the public functions will be accessible through fake forwards and callfuncs.
