Is very nice to share it, but Read before posting new plugins. - Updated 9-5-14
and Plugins, quantity, quality.

They are stickies at this sub-forum and explain this section.


Update:

You submitted the .amxx file inside "head_models.zip". Your plugin is too simple, but do not worry, it will probably just be unapproved.

But I am wring a suggestions list, then after those changes may be it could get approved.


Suggestions:

Use menu to choose the options like "say /setmodel".

Load the models from a file.

As you load then from a file, they have an id, so, use it to switch the models. Here at this plugin, you could use as an example about how to load multiples lines from file and create a multi-page menu using octal numbers, then use a switch to choose then using the menu as bellow:

As it is now:

public cmd_setmodel(id)
{
    if(!is_user_alive(id) || !is_user_connected(id))
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    
    new arg[64]
    read_argv(1, arg, charsmax(arg))
    
    if(equali(arg, "bategorka") || equali(arg, "butterflymap") || equali(arg, "jbfish"))
    {
        message_begin(MSG_ALL, SVC_TEMPENTITY)
        write_byte(TE_PLAYERATTACHMENT)
        write_byte(id)
        write_coord(60)
        if(equali(arg, "bategorka"))
            write_short(spriteBat)
        else if(equali(arg, "butterflymap"))
            write_short(spriteButterfly)
        else if(equali(arg, "jbfish"))
            write_short(spriteFish)
        write_short(30)
        message_end()
    }
    
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

As it would became: (This is partial, you need to code the rest learning from the plugin mentioned)

public cmd_setmodel(player_id, key_pressed)
{
    new model_id_index = get_model_index( g_menuPosition[player_id], key_pressed )

    message_begin(MSG_ALL, SVC_TEMPENTITY)
    write_byte(TE_PLAYERATTACHMENT)
    write_byte(player_id)
    write_coord(60)
    write_short(g_models_loaded_ids[model_id_index])
    write_short(30)
    message_end()
    
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

public get_model_index( current_menu_page, current_pressed_key )
{   
    new vote_mod_code = current_menu_page * 10 + current_pressed_key
    return convert_octal_to_decimal( vote_mod_code )
}

public convert_octal_to_decimal( octal_number )
{   
    new decimal = 0
    new i = 0
    new remainder

    while( octal_number != 0 )
    {   
        remainder = octal_number % 10
        octal_number /= 10
        decimal += remainder * power(8, i);
        ++i
    }
    return decimal;
}

If you want to, i can specificity better where to look up at that plugin or whatever.

Please remove the amxx file from the archive. Also, this is not enough to be considered a new submission, try to do something more customizable, like allowing admins to set from a file the available models, etc.

Unapproved.

Removed amxx file. Okey i will think something

[MapCreator]

Thanks for help. Code is not simple. I think thar there is easier way to do this. What about TrieArray or Array?
I have read from internet about TrieArray but can`t understand structure off this array. I think that it is possible to make this plugin with TrieArray

[HamletEagle]

What do you want to do ? How you want to redesign this ? I need to know this before suggesting something.

[MapCreator]

want to create menu(menu items from config file) where player can set model. and of course models will be prechaed from config file. i am working on it

[addons_zz]

Answering your PM, you do not need tries.

Now you can build a menu using g_models_names, and each menu item can have a number which can be associated to the index of g_models_ids, as I said earlier using the current menu page and pressed key and converting it from octal to a decimal number, which will be the model_index, as a did at this plugin.

Then the index can be used to set the model at setmodel(id, model_index).

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#define MAX_MODELS_NUMBER 32
#define MAX_MODEL_NAME_SIZE 64
#define MAX_MODEL_PATH_SIZE 256

new g_models_ids         [MAX_MODELS_NUMBER]
new g_models_paths    [MAX_MODELS_NUMBER]    [MAX_MODEL_PATH_SIZE]
new g_models_names  [MAX_MODELS_NUMBER]    [MAX_MODEL_NAME_SIZE]

new g_currrent_model_total = 0 

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("HeadModels", "0.9.5", "MapCreator")
    register_clcmd("asd", "asd")
}

public asd(id)
{
    setmodel(id, 0)
}

public plugin_precache()
{
    new path[64]
    get_configsdir(path, charsmax(path))
    add(path, charsmax(path), "/head_models.cfg")
    
    if(!file_exists(path))
        pause("d")
    
    new file = fopen(path, "rt")
    
    new Buffer[128], ModelName[64], ModelPath[64]

    while(!feof(file))
    {
        fgets(file, Buffer, charsmax(Buffer))
        trim(Buffer)
        
        if(Buffer[0] == ';' || Buffer[0] == '/')
            continue;
        
        parse(Buffer, ModelName, charsmax(ModelName), ModelPath, charsmax(ModelPath))

        g_models_paths[g_currrent_model_total] = ModelPath
        g_models_names[g_currrent_model_total] = ModelName
        g_models_ids[g_currrent_model_total] = precache_model(ModelPath)
        g_currrent_model_total++
    }
    fclose(file)
}

public setmodel(id, model_index)
{
    if(!is_user_alive(id) || !is_user_connected(id))
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED

    message_begin(MSG_ALL, SVC_TEMPENTITY)
    write_byte(TE_PLAYERATTACHMENT)
    write_byte(id)
    write_coord(60)
    write_short( g_models_ids[model_index] )
    write_short(30)
    message_end()
    
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

You could probably use dynamic arrays, to have unlimited models. Then, making a menu with the items in array, and accessing the right entry by the item index from the menu.

They are perfect to this job.

I missed that here and at my plugin where I shall update it at next version.
