Hi guys i've got some problem with my code
Here i'm trying to get command argument then create new variable that uses arg that i've grabbed as it's name

PHP Code:

public Action:CreateVar(args)
{
    decl String:arg1[64];
    GetCmdArg(1, arg1, sizeof(arg1))
    new arg1
} 


So something like this:

PHP Code:

!createvar "Gaben" 


Would result in

PHP Code:

new Gaben 


- Help would be really helpful
- Thanks

You're trying to make an in-game command that changes the plugin's own coding?

A trie might work for your purposes. I can't know for sure unless you explain what you're planning to do.

[Marcus_Brown001]

That is not possible O.o. I don't know why you would need to do this ... when a plugin is running on a sever no one will see what the variables are called. You can assign the value "Gaben" to a variable, but you can't make a variable change its name to that argument. I think the simplest reason is that the plugin file the server runs is a binary file. You cannot edit it.

array+trie

PHP Code:

new Handle:array_args;
new Handle:trie_variables;

public OnPluginStart()
{

    array_args = CreateArray(ByteCountToCells(MAX_NAME_LENGTH));
    trie_variables = CreateTrie();

    RegConsoleCmd("sm_command", command);
}

public Action:command(client, args)
{
    new String:arg[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];

    if(args < 2)
    {
        ReplyToCommand(client, "\nUsage: sm_command name value");
        new size = GetArraySize(array_args);
        new value;

        for(new i = 0; i < size; i++)
        {
            GetArrayString(array_args, i, arg, sizeof(arg));
            if(GetTrieValue(trie_variables, arg, value))
            {
                ReplyToCommand(client, "%10s %i", arg, value);
            }
        }
        return Plugin_Handled;
    }

    GetCmdArg(2, arg, sizeof(arg))
    new value = StringToInt(arg);

    GetCmdArg(1, arg, sizeof(arg))

    if(FindStringInArray(array_args, arg) == -1)
    {
        PushArrayString(array_args, arg);
    }

    SetTrieValue(trie_variables, arg, value);

    return Plugin_Handled;
} 


sm_command "give name" number
sm_command

[Mathias.]

actually I think he looking to do something similar to eventscripts where variables are actually console commands (lol).

[xf117]

He is talking about Evaluation, which basically works only in dynamic languages. Some langs doing this by reflection, but neither of these are available in sourcemod.

So your best bet, as mentioned above - trie/hashmap.

[RedSword]

Yeah trie seems to be the closest to what you'd be willing to do with a similar behaviour.

public Action:CreateVar(args)
{
    decl String:arg1[64];
    GetCmdArg(1, arg1, sizeof(arg1))
    new arg1
}

A small tip when coding, try to either always use ";" or never use it. You're using 2 different code style, which doesn't make sense.

If you want to enforce the use of semi-column u can use :

#pragma semicolon 1

In the header of your code, which will make sure you have ";" at the end of a SourcePawn instruction.
