[Solved] engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, "str") not return index

VINAGHOST · **Author**

I'm doing rework on Dias's plugin that will follow this

But it has a weird situation.

Code:

new g_iszWeaponKey 
public plugin_precache() {
	// ...
	g_iszWeaponKey = engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, WEAPON_NAME);
	server_print("..., Key: %d %s", g_iszWeaponKey, g_iszWeaponKey);
	// ...
}

this print to the server (from 2 plugins) has same %d and empty string %s

Code:

//WEAPON_NAME weapon_dargoncannon
Key: -74022417                    <= empty string
//WEAPON_NAME weapon_papin
Key: -74020417                    <= empty string

Besides that, no error nor warning shows.

Another part that uses EngFunc_AllocString works normally

Code:

Weapon_Create(const Float: vecOrigin[3] = {0.0, 0.0, 0.0}, const Float: vecAngles[3] = {0.0, 0.0, 0.0}) {
	new iWeapon;
	static iszAllocStringCached;
	if (iszAllocStringCached || (iszAllocStringCached = engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, WEAPON_REFERANCE))) {
		iWeapon = engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, iszAllocStringCached);
		server_print("Key: %d %s", iszAllocStringCached, iszAllocStringCached)
	}
        // ...
}

Printed different per string, %d and %s

Code:

// WEAPON_REFERANCE weapon_ump45
Key: -74012316 dweapon_ump45
// WEAPON_REFERANCE weapon_knife
Key: -74012329 9weapon_knife

Anyone here knows about this situation?
(I'm using ReHLDS, ReAPI and AmxModX ver 1.9.0.5)

What is AMX Mod X 1.9.0.5? Though not likely to fix it, you should consider using the latest 1.9 version available which happens to be 1.9.0-git5273.

Oh, yeah, that's because it's a fixed width column in that output and it doesn't show the other numbers. If you do "amxx version" you'll see the full version.

I change to use another method to define the key for weapon so this is not my case anymore.
But I will leave this here if someone have the answer for this situation
