im working on a match plugin, which contains player info of previous map.
So when the plugin puts info of player to the array, it stays until the map changes, but after
map change is finished, the array is just empty.

array is created by CreateArray


new Handle:g_CapList = INVALID_HANDLE;
g_CapList = CreateArray(4);

im not asking how to reset array but how to keep array from being reset

Don't reset it. Magic! (It doesn't reset unless you tell it to reset somewhere.)

There is no resetting thats why im asking

 
 
new Handle:g_TestList = INVALID_HANDLE;
 
public OnPluginStart()
{
    g_TestList = CreateArray(16);
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_test", Command_Test, "sm_3");
}
public Action:Command_Test(client, args)
{
    if (args < 1)
    {
        ReplyToCommand(client, "%s sm_test <nick>", g_sSvName);
        return Plugin_Handled;
    }
    decl String:PlayerName[32];
    decl String:Name[32];
    GetCmdArg(1, PlayerName, sizeof(PlayerName));
 
    PushArrayString(g_TestList, PlayerName);
    new String:message[128];
    for (new i = 0; i < GetArraySize(g_TestList); i++)
    {
        GetArrayString(g_TestList, i, message, sizeof(message));
        PrintToAll(message);
    } 
 
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

thats how the plugins looks like

when i input command sm_test a
it replys

a

when i input command sm_test b
it replys

a
b

when i input command sm_test c
it replys

a
b
c

after map change, when i input command sm_test d
it should reply

a
b
c
d

but it returns

d

If you replace the plugin binary, it'll be reloaded on map change.

Probably not related to the problem, but by

g_TestList = CreateArray(16);

you really meant

g_TestList = CreateArray(ByteCountToCells(MAX_NAME_LENGTH));

right?

Although this question is a really old one, I'm posting in case anyone is coming to this thread for a workaround still. I don't know what the reason is, but after testing, I learned dynamic arrays (ArrayList) and maps (like StringMap) get reset on map change. Other static variables didn't seem to get reset, so I tried the fixed-length array and that one didn't get reset.

I use linux, so am not sure if the behaviour is any different on windows.

I'll appreciate if anyone who knows the reason comes by and lets me know
