You forgot the difference between cell and byte. 21 bytes would require 6 cells.

Incidentally, this is what the ByteCountToCells function is for.

right example please, I'm too confused

kinda got it

CreateArray(ByteCountToCells(21));

Or use ByteCountToCells once to get value is enough?

@Doc-Holiday, I found it in 2 post above yours

you were asking for an example....... lol so i showed you how to use it and yes according to the way the post are after mine the above code would create what you want. however the wiki shows

new Array[X][32];
is the same as
CreateArray(32);

Wouldnt you be able to simply

PHP Code:

g_array = CreateArray(21);

PushArrayString(g_array, szSteamId);

A few things:
1. new Array[X][32] will give you tag errors if you try to use Strings with it.
2. new String:Array[X][32] creates an array that takes up 1/4 the space that new Array[X][32] does. Same with CreateArray(ByteCountToCells(32)) versus CreateArray(32) because ByteCountToCells(32) returns 8. Just as important, ByteCountToCells may change at a later date if a 64-bit version of srcds appears and SourcePawn starts using 64-bit cells, meaning that you shouldn't hard-code 8 there either.

oh, pawn. So many problems from nothing...




for example php, it isn't ideal language too, but there is no difficulties with the same arrays

Yes i meant to put the string tag. And thanks for explaining it for me

Don't even start on php. The most horrible language I've ever seen.

I've readed it, because of this I wrote

But in in comparison with pawn, it's like night and day. No one lang is ideal.
Also tell me please which language you like.

C++ but we are off topic now.
