Hey, some time ago i tried to get a number with read_argv and returned PLUGIN_CONTINUE/_HANDLED and gave me the number doubled but when i put return -1 it would give me the correct number. Why is that? I am still confused right now

I am also confused by your entire post and what you're trying to say. Please show some code.
read_argv() returns a string, not a number.

if(arg_string > 0) return (str_to_num(arg_string) * 2);

probably helps you, however, show us your code.

#include < amxmodx >
#include < amxmisc >

public plugin_init ( )	register_concmd ( "double_number", "argvExample", ADMIN_ALL, "" );

public argvExample ( iEntity, userLevel, cID )
{
	if ( !cmd_access ( iEntity, userLevel, cId, 2 ) )
		return;

	new argString [ 16 ];
	read_argv ( 1, argString, charsmax ( argString ) );

	new argValue = str_to_num ( argString )

	if ( argValue != 0 )
	{
		argValue = argValue * 2;
		console_print ( iEntity, "Value: %d", argValue );
	}
}

No. read_argv() returns the "Number of cells written to buffer". It is used to populate a string with the string value of the argument. (I know you know this but just clarifying for others)

Umm, that doesn't make any sense. You can't compare an array (string) with a scalar value (the zero). Also, the OP is not asking how to multiply a number by 2.

Yeah, a string that i converted into a number-_-

And lemme explain again, i made an command something like zp_ammo <type> <value>

and when i got the value returned and converted into nunbers i would get that value doubled if return(at the end of the function) was PLUGIN_CONTINUE or PLUGIN_HANDLED, i might get this mistaken, so i returned -1 and worked

Also idk if i used argv or whatever, i just used something that retrived a string from player command.

So the question is why did that happend?

I was referring to the buffer but yeah, you're right.

@AnimalMonster - "I used something to do something but I don't know what I did". Show your code instead of struggling to explain and making us struggle to understand when you clearly don't know what you've done.

If you are struggling with reading args from chat commands, you should bear in mind that your command counts as the first arg. Registering "say /cmd", nonetheless, will pass "/cmd" as the first argument.

He never mentioned chat command nor zp_ammo looks like one. We're just playing guessing games until he posts his 20 lines of code.

Just leaving it here. Also he said that it looks like zp_ammo, meaning that it could be anything.

Eh.. better just put it in trash can i said like but that s the format i made for it(with 2 arguments), so since no one doesn't know what i am talking about i would like it deleted xd bcs if i stay to explain and also provide code it would take a lot of your time :p

And @OciXCrom it isn't chat command but console.
