I've found this one:
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=233791

Basically the solution for a plugin called "saxtonhale" is to use the following:

#include <saxtonhale>

new bool:bIsVSHRunning;

public OnAllPluginsLoaded()
{
    bIsVSHRunning = LibraryExists("saxtonhale");
}

But the plugin I am pointing at is not having a .inc-file. Is there another way to do this? Or do I have to do an .inc file for that plugin? What do I have to care about while doing this?

Use ServerCommandEx for sm plugins list Then use StrContains

No.

or, if you're concerned about filename changes, and you know the "Name" of the plugin:
https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/so...PluginIterator

Thanks to both of you.
Choosed the second method and it seems to work.

Looks like I will try this. the solution of ddhoward isn't detecting if a plugin just failed to load.

I didn't post a solution, I posted a method by which you would create your own solution.

You'd use the Handles given to you by the previously mentioned functions in this function:

I highly recommend looking into the method that ddhoward brought up. Don't use ServerCommandEx to check for the plugin listed in sm plugins list output...

PHP Code:

public void OnAllPluginsLoaded()
{
    bool bPluginExists;
    if (FindPluginByFile("myplugin.smx") != null)
    {
        bPluginExists = true;
    }
}

void MyFunction()
{
    if (bPluginExists)
    {
        // Code here
    }
}

PHP Code:

bool bPluginRunning;

public void OnAllPluginsLoaded()
{
    IsMyPluginRunning();
}

bool IsMyPluginRunning()
{
    Handle hMyPlugin = FindPluginByFile("myplugin.smx");
    if (hMyPlugin != null && GetPluginStatus(hMyPlugin) == Plugin_Running)
    {
        bPluginRunning = true;
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        bPluginRunning= false;
        return false;
    }
}

void MyFunction()
{
    //do this one if you want a quick, cheap check
    if (bPluginExists)
    {
        // Code here
    }

    //do this one if you want to make sure the plugin is STILL running
    if (IsMyPluginRunning())
    {
        // Code here
    }
} 


I'd maybe do something like this.

Something I made.

stock bool:FindPluginByName(const String:PluginName[], bool:Sensitivity=true, bool:Contains=false)
{
	new Handle:iterator = GetPluginIterator();
	
	new Handle:PluginID;
	
	new String:curName[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
	
	while(MorePlugins(iterator))
	{
		PluginID = ReadPlugin(iterator)
		GetPluginInfo(PluginID, PlInfo_Name, curName, sizeof(curName));

		if(StrEqual(PluginName, curName, Sensitivity) || (Contains && StrContains(PluginName, curName, Sensitivity) != -1))
		{
			CloseHandle(iterator);
			return true;
		}
	}
	
	CloseHandle(iterator);
	return false;
}
