Hi!

What is the problem?
Error message: Error: Argument type mismatch (argument 1)
How do i fix it?

PHP Code:

new chat[128];
    switch (num)
    {
        case 1:
        {
            formatex(chat, 127, "%s", Bot_Chat[random("")][0][0]);
        }
        case 2:
        {
            formatex(chat, 127, "%s", Halo_Chat[random("")][0][0]);
        }
        case 3:
        {
            formatex(chat, 127, "%s", Bye_Chat[random(11)][0][0]);
        }
        default:
        {
        }
    }
    }

random("") is your problem.

random expects a number, not a string. Input a number and it will return a random number between 0 and the number - 1. random(10) will give random between 0 to 9.

Thank you!

Do you write an example?

EDIT:

Okay, I just tried:

PHP Code:

{
    if (!get_pcvar_num(bot_chat_cvar))
    {
        return 1;
    }
    new chat[128];
    switch (num)
    {
        case 1:
        {
            formatex(chat, 127, "%s", Bot_Chat[random(205)][0][0]);
        }
        case 2:
        {
            formatex(chat, 127, "%s", Halo_Chat[random(6)][0][0]);
        }
        case 3:
        {
            formatex(chat, 127, "%s", Bye_Chat[random(11)][0][0]);
        }
        default:
        {
        }
    }
    return 0;
} 


Error:
Error: Expected token: ",", but found "[" on line ***
Error: Expected token: ";", but found "]" on line 762

But, this is work fine:
Why?

PHP Code:

{
    if (!get_pcvar_num(bot_chat_cvar))
    {
        return 1;
    }
    new chat[128];
    switch (num)
    {
        case 1:
        {
            random( sizeof( Bot_Chat ) )
        }
        case 2:
        {
            random( sizeof( Halo_Chat ) )
        }
        case 3:
        {
            random( sizeof( Bye_Chat ) )
        }
        default:
        {
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

PHP Code:

formatex(chat, charsmax(chat), "%s", Bot_Chat[random(205)][0][0]); 


It gets the max length of the "chat" string. Is safer and better.

Posting the full code would help.

That code makes no sense at all.
I'd still suggest posting the full code if you want to help us help you solve the issue.

You need to provide more code for us to fully help you. You may not need to use formatex() at all--without providing your string arrays we cannot tell what the purpose of formatex() is. Also, if you plan to print these to chat, client_print() includes its own formatting so formatex() would not be needed. If you do not need to format the chat message, just print the messages directly from the chat array and remove the szChat[] variable.

PHP Code:


#include <amxmodx>

new bot_chat_cvar;

new Bot_Chat[][] =
{
    "String 1",
    "String 2",
    "String 3",
    "String 4",
    "String 5",
    "String 6",
    "String 7",
};
    
new Halo_Chat[][] =
{
    "String 1",
    "String 2",
    "String 3",
    "String 4",
    "String 5",
    "String 6",
    "String 7",
};

new Bye_Chat[][] =
{
    "String 1",
    "String 2",
    "String 3",
    "String 4",
    "String 5",
    "String 6",
    "String 7",
};

public ChatFunc( num ) 
{
    if ( !get_pcvar_num( bot_chat_cvar ) ) 
    { 
        return 1; 
    } 
    
    new szChat[ 128 ];
    
    switch ( num ) 
    { 
        case 1: 
        { 
            formatex( szChat, charsmax( szChat ) , "%s" , Bot_Chat[ random( sizeof( Bot_Chat ) ) ] ); 
            //or
            client_print( 0 , print_chat , Bot_Chat[ random( sizeof( Bot_Chat ) ) ] );
        } 
        case 2: 
        { 
            formatex( szChat , charsmax( szChat ) , "%s" , Halo_Chat[ random( sizeof( Halo_Chat ) ) ] ); 
            //or
            client_print( 0 , print_chat , Halo_Chat[ random( sizeof( Halo_Chat ) ) ] );
        } 
        case 3: 
        { 
            formatex( szChat , charsmax( szChat ) , "%s" , Bye_Chat[ random( sizeof( Bye_Chat  ) ) ] );
            //or
            client_print( 0 , print_chat , Bye_Chat[ random( sizeof( Bye_Chat ) ) ] );
        } 
        default: 
        {
            
        } 
    } 
    
    return 0; 
}

Also use charsmax(chat) instead of typing the max length manually.

Hi!

I'm sorry to write you so late, I worked.
Okay, now not work:

PHP Code:

formatex(chat, charsmax(chat), "%s", Bot_Chat[random(205)][0][0]); 


But... This is work perfect!

PHP Code:

client_print( 0 , print_chat , Bot_Chat[ random( sizeof( Bot_Chat ) ) ] );
