Hey guys, i need to create or define a new array as we use to do with MAXPLAYERS+1 on global variables, but i couldn't find any static variable in the sourcemod API so i used GetMaxEntities() (Knowing it wasn't going to work) and i failed. The i 'supposed' that the maximum number o entities could be 1000 so i putted that and it worked. But thats really dirsty to check entities in a loop.

Is there anyway to declare something with the maximum entities in the game in the array? Like:

new bool:mybool[MAXPLAYERS+1]

But using the maximum number of entites. Is it possible?

new bool:mybool[GetMaxEntities()+1] (X) doesnt work

new bool:mybool[1000] (X) Works, but is dirty.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Btw, i'm doing this on left 4 dead 2, so i f anyone know the actual maximum entities (average), let me know.

2048 i think is the max, you could put a check in OnPluginStart() to see if GetMaxEntities ever returns higher then 2048

PHP Code:

#define MAXENTITIES 2048
new bool:mybool[MAXENTITIES+1];
public OnPluginStart() {
     if (MAXENTITIES < GetMaxEntities())
         SetFailState("Need to recompile with larger MAXENTITIES, current %d, suggested %d", MAXENTITIES, GetMaxEntities());
}

Thanks for the help, i think that could be done.

I'm having some errors with this. I've defined the max entities and appliead it on a few arrays. For Example:

new bool:g_bValidEntity[MAXENTITIES+1];

It is spawning an Array Out Of Bounds error when i set the bool to a new created entity.

[SM] Plugin encountered error 15: Array index is out of bounds

Is there anyway to fix this issue?

Shouldn't have deleted that fast...

If you're still getting out of bounds, and the script dirka gave you never returned that message, you're probably storing it wrong... somehow.

Please post the parts of your code dealing with storing it?

[DarkEnergy]

why do u need an array that big? what are you storing? that is the question

PHP Code:

#define MAXENTITIES 2048

        CreateTimer(GetConVarFloat(g_cvarWeaponManagerTimeout), WeaponExistenceTimeout, weapon);
    }

I use the SDKHOOK extension and i get the error every time i switch it between true or false. Any ideas?

[dirka_dirka]

are you using that check in onpluginstart?

if so and it doesnt print.. what does:

LogMessage("Current entity count %i/%i", iCurrentEntities, iMaxEntities);

give you?

and have you TRIED a print/log msg for when you toggle the cvars to see what entity number it is trying to adjust? maybe your sending in a bogus number

[FaTony]

I suggest using adt_array.

Try using EntRefToEntIndex first, it could be an entity reference.
