Spoiler

I'm abit confused about the description about this native,
I am using this like VFormat but then for a native, can some1 tell me what the vallues should be or explain a lil better with this example:

Current Description:

FormatNativeString

Syntax:
native FormatNativeString(out_param,  
                          fmt_param,  
                          vararg_param,  
                          out_len, 
                          &written=0, 
                          String:out_string[]="", 
                          const String:fmt_string[]="");

Usage:
 out_param			Output parameter number to write to.  If 0, out_string is used.
 fmt_param			Format parameter number.  If 0, fmt_string is used.
 vararg_param		First variable parameter number.
 out_len			Output string buffer maximum length (always required).
 written			Optionally stores the number of bytes written.
 out_string		Output string buffer to use if out_param is not used.
 fmt_string		Format string to use if fmt_param is not used.
Notes:
Formats a string using parameters from a native.

Return:
SP_ERROR_NONE on success, anything else on failure.

PHP Code:

// _PrintToChat(client, String:Msg[]="", Any:...)
public Native__PrintToChat(Handle:plugin, NumParams)
{
    new client = GetNativeCell(1);
    new String:szMessage[256];
    GetNativeString(2, szMessage, sizeof(szMessage));
    new String:szFinalMsg[256];

    //VFormat(szFinalMsg, 256, szMessage, 3);
    //FormatNativeString(2, 0, 3, 256, _, _, szFinalMsg); ???
    
    if(strlen(szMessage) > 0)
    {
        if(_IsValidClient(client))
        {
            CPrintToChat(client, "%s {default}%s", CPrefix, szFinalMsg);
        }
    }
}

// _PrintToChatAll(String:Msg[]="", SkipClientid=0, Any:...)
public Native__PrintToChatAll(Handle:plugin, NumParams)
{
    new String:szMessage[256];
    GetNativeString(1, szMessage, sizeof(szMessage));
    new skipAclient = GetNativeCell(2); 
    new String:szFinalMsg[256];
    VFormat(szFinalMsg, 256, szMessage, 3);
    
    if(strlen(szMessage) > 0)
    {
        for(new i=1; i<MaxClients; i++)
        {
            if( _IsValidClient(i) && i != skipAclient )
            {
                CPrintToChat(i, "%s {default}%s", CPrefix, szFinalMsg);
            }
        }
    }
} 


out_param : The initial string in the native (in above example as Msg[]="" or parameter 2 (printtochat) (and parameter 1 in printtochatall)?
fmt_param : Where to format the message to, if String not provided in native, use 0 to assign my own string to write it into?
vararg_param : Where the Any:... parameter is in the native (in above example as parameter 3)?
out_len : Maxlen of final formatted msg?

I figured it out eventually, but now i got a diffrent problem, check post below

[striker07]

After testing a few things out, i did get it so you can ignore above message, but now that this works, i occasionally see my plugin printing out this: 1.5.0-dev+3822 while i never programmed to do this, i doesnt always show this in full (took screenshots) i was wondering if anyone knows why its doing this or what i can do to fix this.

this while i am using:
SourceMod 1.5.4-dev+4036, by AlliedModders LLC

screenshots

very strange scenario :s

EDIT:
Lol ok found the problem, the fmt_param was off by 1 to much, works like it should now

The correct use:

PHP Code:

//_PrintToChat(client, String:Msg[]="", Any:...);
public Native__PrintToChat(Handle:plugin, NumParams)
{
    new client = GetNativeCell(1);
    new String:szMessage[256];
    GetNativeString(2, szMessage, sizeof(szMessage));
    new String:szFinalMsg[256];

    //VFormat(szFinalMsg, 256, szMessage, 3);
    FormatNativeString(0, 2, 3, 256, _, szFinalMsg);
    
    if(strlen(szMessage) > 0)
    {
        if(_IsValidClient(client))
        {
            CPrintToChat(client, "%s {default}%s", CPrefix, szFinalMsg);
        }
    }
}

// _PrintToChatAll(Msg[]="", SkipClient=0, Any:...)
public Native__PrintToChatAll(Handle:plugin, NumParams)
{
    new String:szMessage[256];
    GetNativeString(1, szMessage, sizeof(szMessage));
    new skipAclient = GetNativeCell(2); 
    new String:szFinalMsg[256];

    //VFormat(szFinalMsg, 256, szMessage, 3);
    FormatNativeString(0, 1, 3, 256, _, szFinalMsg);
    
    if(strlen(szMessage) > 0)
    {
        for(new i=1; i<MaxClients; i++)
        {
            if( _IsValidClient(i) && i != skipAclient )
            {
                CPrintToChat(i, "%s {default}%s", CPrefix, szFinalMsg);
            }
        }
    }
}
