I wish to call this function with or without a second parameter. With it, I care about setting its value and would be able to test the value of the message from an outside function. Without it, I don't care and would simply like the return value (which will be returned in either case and is an integer, respType):

PHP Code:

stock parse_resp_data(data[], message[] = 0)
{
    new respType, error[512], errorSize = sizeof(error);

    if (!strlen(message))
    {
        new message[512];
    }

    switch (data[0])
    {
        case '+': { respType = parse_resp_simple_string(data[1], message); }

        ...

    }

    return respType;
} 


Is this possible?

If you make it a native with style 0, you can see how many parameters was sent and react to that.

native parse_resp_data(data[], ...)

// ...

public plugin_natives()
    register_native("parse_resp_data", "native_parse_resp_data")

public native_parse_resp_data(PluginID, NumParams) {

    // ...

    switch ( NumParams ) {
        case 2: server_print("Using message")
        case 1: server_print("Not using message")
        default: server_print("Failure");
    }
    //...
}

Another option is to set the default value to something weird that you wouldn't find in whatever the user enters and checking if the parameter is equal to that weird value or empty.

stock parse_resp_data(data[], message[] = "^1") {

    // ...

    if ( message[0] != '^1' )
        server_print("Using message")
    else
        server_print("Not using message")
    // ...

I think I understood you correctly but I'm not really sure.

On a side note, I saw your latest post and started making an API for RESP. But if you do it instead, that's probably for the best.
