Firstly, I'd like to say that sourcepawn is a crap language.


As for my question:

How can I fix my code? I'm receiving the following errors:

new String:levelMaps[100][40];

inSomeFunc()
{
         // array sizes do not match, or are too small
         levelMaps[count] = mapName;

      // array must be indexed.
       if (levelMaps[i] == currentMap)
         

}

Thanks

I think I've solved the first issue. Is this the best way to do it?

strcopy(levelMaps[count], sizeof(levelMaps[]), mapName);

edit: and the second issue too:

strcmp(levelMaps[i], currentMap, false)

SourcePawn definitely shows its C roots when dealing with strings.

Anyway, strcopy for assigning values to a string is correct. You may want to use StrEquals instead of strcmp since StrEquals returns a bool. However, it's likely that StrEquals just calls strcmp internally anyway.

Yup StrEqual is just strcmp with a != -1 attached to the return.

Should I even point out how that can't possible be correct?

I'm pretty sure you meant to say "StrEqual is just strcmp with a == 0 attached to the return" since -1 is only returned if the second argument is before the first alphabetically; 1 is returned if the second argument is after the first alphabetically.

Oh nevermind, I don't know where I got that idea anymore.

Yeah I noticed. It would have been better if it was more based on C++ with proper data types and strings.

Thanks! Will use that instead.

Check out the Pawn Language Guide. It explains pretty much anything about the language, stuff that's not covered in the forum or wiki pages.

Thanks, it looks fairly comprehensive.
