Hello,

I would like to make a unique admin system for myself with some plus functions that are not in the original AmxModX admin system.
I tried to make a core plugin that only connect to database, put and get datas from it.

I made a structure to store all data.
In core plugin it looks like this:

enum _:ExampleType
{
    Array1[44],
    Array2[44],
    Array3[32],
    Array4[11],
    Array5[11],	
    Array6[32],
    Array7[64]
}

new g_ExampleList[][ExampleType]; //g_ExampleList[StoredAdmins][ExampleType]

I would like to transfer this structure and the stored data between the core and the other plugins of the system.

My question is how can I do this properly?

I read some tutorial about Xvars, dynamic natives and fake forwards, but I do this on the first time, so I am a bit embarrassed.
Make an array or "stuct" public for use as xvar is not possible in amxmodx, if I know right.
I could make the data transfer for array: I defined this struct in the second plugin and I can send the variables from the struct one by one to the second plugin by set_string function.
Can I transfer the complete struct to the second plugin with only one native call or I have to make it as I mentioned above (may with more params and more set_string func to do it with one call)?
I checked set_array, but it can not handle 2d (or more) arrays. I found only this thread about this:

I welcome any advice.

Use CellArray, you might not be able to pass more than 1 array dimension in a native.

I read roughly Hamlet's Dynamic Array tutorial at the late nitht yesterday, but I decided to skip the use of CellArray, it looked a bit more complicated in first time, but thanks for the advice I will read it more carefully again.

This parts is a bit confused me:

new Data[ eData ] 
    new const szConst[] = "test"
    copy( Data[ szString ], charsmax( Data ), szConst )
    Data[ iValue ] = 15
    //Push the array into our array
    ArrayPushArray( g_aArray, Data )

In the copy function the charsmax parts seems not correct for me. It get the complete Data array size included the iValue size. The correct way would be charsmax(Data[szString]) right?
In first time I tought to get the arrays sizes inside an array be more complicated.


So returning to this topic, if I create a dyn array I can set its value from a native with set_array?

No,

PHP Code:

charsmax( Data[ szString ] ) 


Here's how your enum should look like:

PHP Code:

enum _:eData
{
    szString[ 32 ],
    iValue
}; 


You retrieve the string that holds the data (usually seen in enum), not the string that you're trying to set.

Oh I am blind, I thought what you write. I write szConst by mistake, the enum first array name what I thought. So the example is wrong in the tutorial.


What's about my last question in my previous post?

Actually I was wrong it should be just

PHP Code:

charsmax( Data )

That's how it should be.

About your other question, I don't really get what you meant, could you explain?

[Hembi]

Why just Data?
In Hamlet example he copy the text to Data[szString] so you need the max character num of this array which is 49, because it is szString[50] in enum.
The charsmax( Data ) return the size-1 of the struct(complete enum) which is 50 (szString -> 50, iValue -> 1) and it can be caused an index out of bounds error, if you try to copy more than 49 char.

My other question was about the CellArray use with native.
I create a native in core which contain set_array(whichparam, array, charsmax(array));
In the second plugin I create a dyn array, then I call my native with the array in params.
For example:

new Array: g_Array; //DynArr
public test()
{
  call_examplenative(g_Array); //example native call
}

I do not tested this yet, but this works and can I transfer the datas in this way?

PHP Code:

native copy(dest[],len,const src[]); 


It requires the destination length, not destination buffer length.

You did not provide any code, so I can't say whether it will work, CellArray can be used anywhere, it doesn't matter where.

[Hembi]

I made a theroretical question about dyn natives. Does not need other codes than I provided. I can make an example if necessary.
My question is that how can I send the datas from the CellArray what I created, trought the plugins.

You asked a question that can't be answered without having more information about it.
Isn't it obvious already? By Dynamic Natives of course.

new Array: g_Array; //DynArr
public test()
{
  call_examplenative(g_Array); //example native call
}

If your purpose is to call something with that example, that is WRONG. You should start by telling what you're trying to achieve, otherwise we can't help you.
