you could say that basically every #include <aa> will be replaced be the content of file aa in the includes folder.

Maybe that tutorial would confuse people who are new to scirpting... i dont know.. we would have to test it on someone

if (get_cvar_num("sv_c4players_special")){ // This lines opens up to some more lines, if the cvar "sv_c4players_special is set to a positive number. 

I think negative values would count as true also. Actually only 0 counts as false, the rest are true.

think?

I will have to test that then.... i just always thought it worked that way, lol

#include <amxmod> // includes file called amxmod.inc. place this line in the top of the plugin. 

it's amxmodx not amxmod

    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE // stops public. 

has no effect

The difference is huge. like night and day :-)

    for (new i = -1; i < 2; i++) {
        if (i)
            server_print("%d is true", i)
        else
            server_print("%d is false", i)
    }

generates this output:

-1 is true 0 is false 1 is true

that's why I generally suggest natives should return 0 when they do not succeed. Error codes -1 and such is useless.

I think everything <= 0 should be false
everything else is illogical

[PM]

well i would also suggest returning 0 on error, but there are cases where thats not logical (for example functions that return an index into a C array)

I Like the logical approach.. keeps it simple..
