It's probably just a no-op in that case. I can only assume they didn't exclude it from the syntax because it doesn't really change anything, you're still creating a "new" variable.

So, to summarize, your original assumption of:

is incorrect as I explained previously in this thread.



Maybe think of it this way, if the syntax is:

PHP Code:

new <type> <name>; 


then when the "type" is not blank, the new can just be implied. Many languages have shorthand for certain functionality and I suspect it's just one of those cases here.

Where did i say it’s useless? You are talking non-sense

Amxx is useless and so are you. Been browsing this forum recently and all I find is you showing everywhere like you're some important figure. In reality you're just a manchild whose main interest is playing an old ass absolutely not profitable game. Not like others are better but I'm specifically mentioning you because you (trash) talk a lot.

That’s a pretty good explanation. We can make it to test by making a static & a new static and compare them.

I am ignoring you from now on. I am not an important figure, i never said i am. I don’t know what’s your problem but you keep trash talking and talking non-sense.

In fact to everyone here, you are the one thinking you are a big figure. You didn’t understood the thread OP’s question. You say it’s semantics and then you talk non-sense over and over again.

Pawn is a dead language, it’s a fact. It has been discontinued since 2012 and almost no one uses it. If you know any other language you would know that it makes no sense that a Float is an explicitly declared datatype but things like ints and strings are just declared by using new.
Also you have to declare how long a string might be. Because you don't know how long some input might be, so sometimes we will do things like strings with lengths of 512 cells, using kilobytes of memory. It sounds small, but this is a waste of memory.
Plus there are several bugs around and other stuff that could be improved.
Anyway, like i said previously, we will always use it because of the massive work the community has done all those years.

However, runtime expressions cannot be used outside of a function, so I am wondering why it can be combined with other specifier? new stock gVar; stock gVar; new static gVar; static gVar; new public gVar; public gVar; new static stock gVar; static stock gVar;

Are you a robot? This is not helpful.I'm not asking about the meaning of 'public', 'stock', and 'static'. I'm asking about the additional features of 'new' combined with them

Where did you get this magical idea? If it's not in the Pawn Language Guide then it's not a thing. As I said before, the Pawn Language Guide said that you replace "new" with "public", "static", or "stock". I don't see anywhere that claims there is any special functionality for "new".

I think you skipped over post #11.
