How to get name or id of plugin that calls dynamic native in my plugin? How modules do it? I'm interested in efficient callbacks for my subplugins with using callfunc_* (rather than multi forwards).

UPD
Thanx, solved. And i agree: single forwards probably more useful than callfunc_*s.

Are you saying that callfunc is more efficient than using a forward? I would think the difference might not be much (someone who knows more might want to comment).

+ get_plugin()

fysiks, when i use forwards, many subplugins must check passed handle and/or indexes. It's not so efficient, i think, both for program and for programing. And also often i need many subsequent broadcasts (f.e. for shared-and-injected menu generation — each menu item, header, footer), or place handles into arrays, but this way leads to copy-paste programming style.
Thanx for suggestion. This way still boring, but quite useful.

You talk about therory, but let's take a concrete example to explain what you mean.
callfunc needs to send begin and end native + all params natives when dynamic natives need to be sent only once, also, if you want to filter forward by plugins, then use single forwards.

ConnorMcLeod, i don't care what to use — callfunc_*s or single forwards (so when i told about "fowards" i really mean "multi forwards"), i just want get caller id. And now know how. I will consider bot methods to compare usability and perfomance. Thanx for your suggestion also (draw your attention to first post). Real example, since you asked:

public anymal_mb_processing(MBH:handle, player, first, last)
{
	if(handle != g_injection_handle)
		return
	
	for(new realitem = first, menuitem = 1; realitem <= last; realitem++, menuitem++)
	{
		if(realitem != g_injection_index) // annoying copy-paste
			continue

...

I don't understand what you do, anyway, you know which plugin you send a forward from, if the foward is single you know which plugin you send the forward to, and when a plugin receive a dynamic native, the first param is the plugin id.
