A small test code using engine functions:

public pfn_touch(pToucher, pTouched) {
        new itemClassName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH], playerClassname[MAX_NAME_LENGTH]
        entity_get_string(pToucher, EV_SZ_classname, itemClassName, MAX_NAME_LENGTH-1);
        entity_get_string(pTouched, EV_SZ_classname, playerClassname, MAX_NAME_LENGTH-1)
        client_print(0, print_chat, "[AMXX-DEBUG] %s touched %s",playerClassname,itemClassName)
}

I get the error:

test.sma(19) : error 025: function heading differs from prototype

usind the "old" vexd version works fine

public vexd_pfntouch(pToucher, pTouched) {

so what was changed to the function? and how would a correct usage of pfn_touch look like?

public pfn_touch(ptr, ptd)

Also be careful: It's a full forward now. return PLUGIN_HANDLED will block the call from the hl engine

Bail whats the difference wetween a forward and a stock and natives?

[PM]

well all of them are functions
forward: caller: amxx / a module; it is in a plugin
stock: it is normally in a .inc file, caller is the plugin, it is only included to the code if the plugin uses it
native: it is in a module or amxx core, the caller is the plugin

So Why does a forward block a call from the hl engine?

[PM]

this forward is called directly from a Metamod hook function. If any pfn_touch function returns PLUGIN_HANDLED, the engine module returns MRES_SUPERCEDE to metamod, which causes the function in the dll not to be called.

So if Yout put it in the return PLUGIN_HANDLED in the correct place the forward basically is null as far as doing anything?

correct?

no problem it is only logical that the parameter names may change...
MagicShot: i don't understand your question
