Hey,

Ok iam wondering if some peaple use

PHP Code:

return; 


or

PHP Code:

continue; 


in there plugins.

This is my way I think about that:
"return;" is the same as "return Plugin_Continue;"
and
"continue;" ist the same as "reruten Plugin_Handled;"
and NO I had written this correctly that way I think.

Now what is the right way?
I ask this because I always use "return Plugin_Handled;", "return Plugin_Continue;" and "return Plugin_Changed;"
And when that way I think is the right way what is then "return Plugin_Changed;" in the short form?

[Root_]

return and continue is used in loops, so in other cases you should use return Plugin_Handled/Continue/Stop/Whatever

You mean timers right?

But now when I use return in a timer, it will stop the timer? or will it begin from the first line of the timer?

[Root_]

Nope, I mean loops

for (new client = 1; client <= MaxClients; client++)
{
    // Make sure all players is in game
    if (IsClientInGame(client))
    {
        // Ignore admins from being switched if immunity is enabled
        if (GetConVar[SwitchTeamsImmunity][Value] && GetUserAdmin(client) != INVALID_ADMIN_ID) continue;

        if (GetClientTeam(client) == DODTeam_Allies) // is player on allies?
        {
            // Yep, get the other team
            ChangeClientTeam(client, DODTeam_Spectator);
            ChangeClientTeam(client, DODTeam_Axis);
            ShowVGUIPanel(client, "class_ger", INVALID_HANDLE, false);
        }
        else if (GetClientTeam(client) == DODTeam_Axis) // Nope.avi
        {
            // Needed to spectate players to switching teams without deaths (DoD:S bug: you dont die when you join spectators)
            ChangeClientTeam(client, DODTeam_Spectator);
            ChangeClientTeam(client, DODTeam_Allies);
            ShowVGUIPanel(client, "class_us", INVALID_HANDLE, false);
        }
    }
}

So continue is a loop stop?
But if I use continue in a non-loop it will not be stoped right?

Continue does not stop the loop.

[TheWho]

And Continue does not continue the loop?

PHP Code:

for (new i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
     blah blah
     blah

     continue; // note this.

     lololol
     lolol
} 


The first part of the for loop will get executed, but the bottom part will not. The loop continues (i.e. starts execution back at the top after incrementing i) and repeats until i becomes >= 10. What you are confusing continue with is break.

PHP Code:

for (new i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
     blah blah
     blah

     break; // note this.

     lololol
     lolol
} 


break will exit the loop.

A very simplistic way of thinking about it is:

- continue will start the loop from the beginning, carrying out the loop operation (e.g. i++)
- break will exit the loop
- return will exit the function itself (and consequently any loop)

Thanks verry much guys!
You helped me a lot that was really confusing
