Hey, I've wrote this simple lines

PHP Code:

new String:arg1[32];
GetCmdArg(1, arg1, sizeof(arg1));
new target;
target = FindTarget(client, arg1); 


I don't want "FindTarget Is not recommended", Let me use my methods.
I added target = FindTarget(client, arg1); In some of my actions and not after new target;

Compiling... Got this error: include/helpers.inc(155) : warning 219: local variable "target" shadows a variable at a preceding level

Can someone help?

change target to a different name. so something like new clienttarget; you can chose though.

LOL Really? 600 Lines plugin(On Start) I need to change all XD

you're missing a brace or something, that shouldn't happen

Or maybe compile more frequently so you can catch and correct these errors earlier before they snowball to something bigger?

I've gotten that error before. For me, I had two variables inside overlapping blocks of code within the same scope. Find where specifically the two variables are overlapping, and rename one of them. If you have a giant plugin, that sucks but there is no other way around it.

PHP Code:

new String:arg1[32];
GetCmdArg(1, arg1, sizeof(arg1));
new target = FindTarget(client, arg1);

if that code is all in function scope of a well-formed .sp file, it's nonsensical to encounter that warning in helpers.inc and I'm guessing the compiler has some bug

Shouldn't be hard at all. 600 lines isn't that big. You only need to change the one variable to a different name.

That would not fix this problem.

The problem is that he is trying to declare an (assumedly) global variable named target when a variable called target is also included in FindTarget() (which is a stock, not a native.)

The solution is to NOT declare a global variable named target while using FindTarget() anywhere in your plugin.

If target is NOT being declared globally in your plugin, then we have another problem.

FindTarget() is a stock, not a native. This means that the code that constitutes FindTarget() is compiled into the plugin, meaning all of its variables and parameters are subject to the plugin's scope rules. FindTarget() has a parameter named target. Therefore, a plugin that uses FindTarget() cannot have a global variable named target.
