Hello everyone!,

I made a function that I can attach trails.

So my problem is that I can attach specific trail from specific file.

My precache:

PHP Code:

FormatEx(tempstring, sizeof(tempstring), "materials/sprites/%s", s_filename);
PrecacheModel(tempstring, true); 


My attach:

PHP Code:

FormatEx(tempstring, sizeof(tempstring), "materials/sprites/%s.vmt", s_filename);
Trail_Attach(client, tempstring); 


If I do for example:

PHP Code:

FormatEx(tempstring, sizeof(tempstring), "materials/sprites/airforce.vmt", s_filename);
PrecacheModel(tempstring, true); 


and

PHP Code:

FormatEx(tempstring, sizeof(tempstring), "materials/sprites/airforce.vmt", s_filename);
Trail_Attach(client, tempstring); 


Works, but if I do

PHP Code:

FormatEx(tempstring, sizeof(tempstring), "materials/sprites/%s", s_filename);
PrecacheModel(tempstring, true); 


and

PHP Code:

FormatEx(tempstring, sizeof(tempstring), "materials/sprites/%s.vmt", s_filename);
Trail_Attach(client, tempstring); 


It doesn't, Can I help please ?

insert this above the format line:

PHP Code:

PrintToServer(s_filename); 


If it's a blank string or garbage string, then the problem relies in the variable not being set.

char s_filename[128]; but in the code I stored it I guess(In the format).

Someone can help?

U need to define it duh?

Like Michal said, how exactly are you defining s_filename?
Did you declare it, but never actually did anything with it?

It would explain why it's printing an empty string.

I know, But I said it declared on FormatEx function, and no idea why it doesn't work for me,
Just on print it didn't declare and I can see it but I don't care about print, just want perform the trail and please help instead talk.
