Hi
I'm looking for a way to use coordinates in an array :
What I try :

PHP Code:

/* Plugin generated by AMXX-Studio */

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
/*

new const iOrigins[][] = 
{
    "160 208 -1392",
    "-544 208 -1392",
    "-465 1120 -1392",
    "81 1120 -1392",
    "0 -1584 -1560",
    "-2 -2240 -1744",
    "2 -356 -1540"
}*/
new const iX[][] = { "160", "-544", "-465", "81", "0", "-2", "2" }
new const iY[][] = { "208", "208", "1120", "1120", "-1584", "-2240", "-356" } 
new const iZ[][] = { "-1392", "-1392", "-1392", "-1392", "-1560", "-1744", "-1540" } 

new zero = 0

public plugin_init() 
    set_task(5.0, "create_light")

public create_light()
{
    message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST,SVC_TEMPENTITY);
    write_byte(TE_DLIGHT);
// here i try two ways !
    for(new i=0;i<sizeof(iX);i++)
    {
        write_coord(iX[i]);
    }
    write_coord(iY[zero++ % sizeof(iY)]);
    write_coord(iZ[zero++ % sizeof(iZ)]);
    write_byte(30);  //radiis
    write_byte(255);//r
    write_byte(0);  //g
    write_byte(0);  //b
    write_byte(15); // life 
    write_byte(20); // decay rate
    message_end();
    
    set_task(1.0, "creat_light")
} 


But I know that the method is not correct. Can I find out how this is done?

Save them as float/int, no reason to use strings.

[abdobiskra]

The reason for this is that I have a lot of coordinates
This is just a sample.

PHP Code:

    message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST,SVC_TEMPENTITY);
    write_byte(TE_DLIGHT);
    write_coord(160);
    write_coord(208);
    write_coord(-1392);
    write_byte(20);  //radiis
    write_byte(255);//r
    write_byte(0);  //g
    write_byte(0);  //b
    write_byte(15); // life 
    write_byte(18); // decay rate 20
    message_end();
    
    message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST,SVC_TEMPENTITY);
    write_byte(TE_DLIGHT);
    write_coord(-544);
    write_coord(208);
    write_coord(-1392);
    write_byte(20);
    write_byte(255);
    write_byte(0);
    write_byte(0);
    write_byte(15);
    write_byte(18);
    message_end();
....
....
etc 


That's a lot!

What HamletEagle said still applies. You would access the specific origin with the first dimension, and the individual values with the second.

Variable[ Which Item ][ Sub-value ]

PHP Code:

new Float:fOrigins[][] = 
{
    { 111.0 , 222.0 , 333.0 },
    { 444.0 , 555.0 , 666.0 },
    { 777.0 , 888.0 , 999.0 }
};

server_print( "Origin = %f %f %f" , fOrigins[ 0 ][ 0 ] , fOrigins[ 0 ][ 1 ] , fOrigins[ 0 ][ 2 ] ); 


PHP Code:

new RGBColors[][] = 
{
    { 111 , 222 , 123 },
    { 25 , 0 , 55 },
    { 0 , 0 , 0 }
};

server_print( "Color = %d %d %d" , RGBColors[ 0 ][ 0 ] , RGBColors[ 0 ][ 1 ] , RGBColors[ 0 ][ 2 ] );

and To call her ?

PHP Code:

    message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST,SVC_TEMPENTITY);
    write_byte(TE_DLIGHT);
    for(new i=0;i<sizeof(iX);i++)
    {
        for(new t=0;t<sizeof(iX);t++)
        {
            write_coord(iX[i][t]);
        }
    } 


That's what I really want to understand.

sizeof(iX) will give you the number of origins in the array, here you only care about x,y,z for the one origin. Use sizeof(iX[])

[abdobiskra]

ok

warning 224: indeterminate array size in "sizeof" expression (symbol "")

line:

for(new i=0;i<sizeof(iX[]);i++)

btw : the server droped me when i used it!

PHP Code:

    message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST,SVC_TEMPENTITY);
    write_byte(TE_DLIGHT);
    for(new i=0;i<sizeof(iX[]);i++)
    {
        //write_coord(iX[i]);
        for(new t=0;t<sizeof(iX[]);t++)
        {
            write_coord(iX[i][t]);
        }
    }

sizeof(iX) instead of sizeof(iX[])

@edon1337
Yes, I tried it but it failed ^^

[CrazY.]

new const iX[] = { 160, -544, -465, 81, 0, -2, 2 }
new const iY[] = { 208, 208, 1120, 1120, -1584, -2240, -356 } 
new const iZ[] = { -1392, -1392, -1392, -1392, -1560, -1744, -1540 }

sizeof iX not sizeof(iX)

for(new i=0;i<sizeof(iX);i++) { write_coord(iX[i]); } write_coord(iY[zero++ % sizeof(iY)]); write_coord(iZ[zero++ % sizeof(iZ)]);

This doesn't make any sense to me. You're going to crash your server at this point. If you want to set a random x axis, iX[random(sizeof iX)), otherwise, I didn't got what you're trying to do.
