Hello guys,

I don't know why but I still don't get

PHP Code:

return 


even though I read so many articles

so I actually understand

PHP Code:

return PLUGIN_HANDLED 


and

PHP Code:

return PLUGIN_CONTINUE 


but I saw in some scripts there is

PHP Code:

return 0 


&

PHP Code:

return -1 


&

PHP Code:

return Random-Number 


so could someone explain to me how does random number return works ?

nope

I'm horrible in explaining

PHP Code:

// In stocks we just return any number that fits our needs
stock IsUserAliveExampleStock(id)
{
    if(is_user_alive(id))
    {
        return 1;
    }
    
    return 0;
}

public Function(id)
{
    // iReturn will hold the value that was returned in the stock
    new iReturn = IsUserAliveExampleStock(id)
    if(iReturn == 0)
    {
        console_print(id, "You must be alive to use this fuction")
        
        // This type of return just stops further code,and returns the default return number
        return;
    }
}

/* If you look in amxconst.inc, you would find these
#define PLUGIN_CONTINUE        0
#define PLUGIN_HANDLED        1
#define PLUGIN_HANDLED_MAIN    2

So you can see that PLUGIN_HANDLED, PLUGIN_CONTINUE and PLUGIN_HANDLED_MAIN are just defines to numbers
and are replaced when the script is compiled to the numbers.

Thank you khalid... That was useful.

use PLUGIN_*** when it improves readability and when it makes sense, so in amxx forwards and callbacks, because it means you want to block or not something.

Use true/false when functions are IsUserSomeThing or similar stuff that only return 0 or 1

And use values when functions are similar to get_user_team, get_user_maxspeed

For fakemeta and hamsandwich hooks, use defined returns [HAM/FMRES]_[IGNORED/HANDLED/OVERRIDE/SUPERCEDE]
