Thats why you always have to start at debugging the first error

Not trying to jack the thread or anything but can someone show me how to declare and add elements to a dynamic array?

Have a look in amxx1.8 plmenu's plugin_init()

I was searching for Dynamic Length Arrays, and I stumbled across this and ArrayX's various threads but this one was the only thing that seemed to offer a 'native' solution.

So I was off to find out where the functions come from. Are they build in PAWN functions that I've missed in my absence? I see the array declaration on line 60 and 61:

new Array:g_bantimes;
new Array:g_slapsettings;

Followed by some functions that don't seem to be within the AMX Mod include files. For example, found within the plugin_init function on lines 107 & 123 you find these:

	g_bantimes = ArrayCreate();
	// Load up the old default values
	ArrayPushCell(g_bantimes, 0);
	ArrayPushCell(g_bantimes, 5);
	ArrayPushCell(g_bantimes, 10);
	ArrayPushCell(g_bantimes, 15);
	ArrayPushCell(g_bantimes, 30);
	ArrayPushCell(g_bantimes, 45);
	ArrayPushCell(g_bantimes, 60);
	
	
	g_slapsettings = ArrayCreate();
	// Old default values
	ArrayPushCell(g_slapsettings, 0); // First option is ignored - it is slay
	ArrayPushCell(g_slapsettings, 0); // slap 0 damage
	ArrayPushCell(g_slapsettings, 1);
	ArrayPushCell(g_slapsettings, 5);

.

I can't find any instance of these functions within AMX Mod X's source code. I've searched (ArrayCreate, ArrayClear, ArrayPushCell & ArrayGetCell) So I'm wondering where I could go about find documentation on these functions.

The funcwiki is not up-to-date.

Look directly into the includes in your includes/ directory. See so cellarray.inc.

Yeah, I just found that. Thanks mate for the redirect. I've been playing around with the ArrayString functions, for reading strings from a file, and pushing them onto an a dynamically sized array. I'm having some trouble with this. Can you by chance offer any example code?

I decided as a exercise that I would use a persistent note system. A plugin that would allow admins to pass notes to each other, like that found on the vB forum admin interface. Just general little notes, but notes that will stay there, even should the server crash. The skeleton of the plugin can be found below. I hope to add on it from the examples you give, and I hope that will give everyone a better understanding of the cellarray functions.
