[Solved] Replace in a String that Contains Repeated Chars - Page 2

Agreed, this isn't ideal but it can work.

I personally would do something more organized, like below. OP, if you can provide some use-cases for how your plugin will be utilizing costumes, I can make adjustments.

PHP Code:


			

#include <amxmodx>

enum CostumeTypes
{
    Male1,
    Male2,
    Female1
}

enum CostumeGender
{
    Male,
    Female
}

enum CostumeModels
{
    CostumeGender:Gender,
    Hat[ 50 ],
    Shirt[ 50 ],
    Pants[ 50 ],
    Shoes[ 50 ]
}

new CostumeData[ CostumeTypes ][ CostumeModels ] = 
{
    { Male , "models/costume/male1_hat.mdl" , "models/costume/male1_shirt.mdl" , "models/costume/male1_pants.mdl" , "models/costume/male1_shoes.mdl" },
    { Male , "models/costume/male2_hat.mdl" , "models/costume/male2_shirt.mdl" , "models/costume/male2_pants.mdl" , "models/costume/male2_shoes.mdl" },
    { Female , "models/costume/female1_hat.mdl" , "models/costume/female1_shirt.mdl" , "models/costume/female1_pants.mdl" , "models/costume/female1_shoes.mdl" }
}
    
public plugin_init() 
{
    server_print( "%s %s %s %s" , CostumeData[ Male1 ][ Hat ] , CostumeData[ Male1 ][ Shirt ] , CostumeData[ Male1 ][ Pants ] , CostumeData[ Male1 ][ Shoes ] );
    server_print( "%s %s %s %s" , CostumeData[ Male2 ][ Hat ] , CostumeData[ Male2 ][ Shirt ] , CostumeData[ Male2 ][ Pants ] , CostumeData[ Male2 ][ Shoes ] );
    server_print( "%s %s %s %s" , CostumeData[ Female1 ][ Hat ] , CostumeData[ Female1 ][ Shirt ] , CostumeData[ Female1 ][ Pants ] , CostumeData[ Female1 ][ Shoes ] );
}

You probably need to follow a certain file name format, it will be much better such as costume_m_hats.mdl

PHP Code:


			
new const szFile[] = "costume_X"

new charGender = szFileName[strlen(szFile) - 1];

switch( charGender )
{
     case 'm': charGender= 'M';
     case 'f': charGender= 'F';
}

thanks for your answer guys, it all works as i need now.

one last question, is it possible to get 2 chars or more like :

Code:

szCos[strlen(szCos)-4] == "this"

without using equal/equali in amxx ?

Yes, by using the logical operator "&&" ( AND )

Code:

// By defining a new variable which stores the string lenght, you avoid multiple function calls ( improving the performance )
new iLen = strlen(szCos) 

if(szCos[iLen - 4] == 't' && szCos[iLen - 3] == 'h' && szCos[iLen - 2] == 'i' && szCos[iLen - 1] == 's')
{
    // meets the criterias, execute
}

}

now after i did that, it gives me index out of bounds error. previously it works fine. this is driving me nuts !

*edit
nvm, fixed now. just forgot to modify some data

What is the total length of the string and size of the szCos variable?

Also, you may be better off hard-coding all of this information instead of swapping characters (see my example above). We aren't using computers from the 1970's anymore where memory is a limitation.

it is already correct, just my .ini file that is wrong. somehow if it is only contains semicolon it won't skip
