Hello everyone.
For Simple Chat Processor (Redux), I needed a way to call each forward one by one (as the current forward manager's methods call either the first or the highest depending on your settings set in CreateForward).
So here it is!

Note: This is for private forwards

Sample Plugin:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <forwardex>

new Forward:g_fMyForward = INVALID_FORWARD;

public APLRes:AskPluginLoad2(Handle:plugin, bool:late, String:err[], err_max)
{
    CreateNative("AddToMyForward", Native_Add);
    CreateNative("RemoveFromMyForward", Native_Remove);
    return APLRes_Success;
}

public Native_Add(Handle:plugin, numParams)
{
    if (g_fMyForward != INVALID_FORWARD)
    {
        FwdEx_AddToForward(g_fMyForward, plugin, Function:GetNativeCell(1));
    }
}

public Native_Remove(Handle:plugin, numParams)
{
    if (g_fMyForward != INVALID_FORWARD)
    {
        FwdEx_RemoveFromForward(g_fMyForward, plugin, Function:GetNativeCell(1));
    }
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
    FwdEx_Init();
    g_fMyForward = FwdEx_CreateForward();
}

public OnMapStart()
{
    if (g_fMyForward != INVALID_FORWARD)
    {
        new bool:finish = false;
        new bool:isTrue = true;
        new count = FwdEx_GetFwdCount(g_fMyForward);
        for (new i = 0; i < count; i++)
        {
            finish = false;
            Call_StartPrivateForward(g_fMyForward, ForwardId:i);
            Call_PushCellRef(isTrue);
            Call_Finish(finish);
            if (!finish)
            {
                isTrue = true;
            }
        }
    }
}

public OnPluginEnd()
{
    FwdEx_End();
} 


Please let me know of any bugs/questions/suggestions.

Thank you

Are you talking about return values here?

The forward manager is supposed to call all private forwards registered. The value it returns depends on the execution type.

ET_Ignore doesn't return anything.
ET_Single returns the value from the last forward.
ET_Event runs all forwards until it hits a forward that returns something other than Plugin_Continue (or runs all of them). It then returns that value.
ET_Hook runs all forwards until it hits a forward that returns Plugin_Stop (or runs all of them). It then returns the highest value that was returned.

By highest value, I mean out of these values:

    Plugin_Continue = 0,    /**< Continue with the original action */
    Plugin_Changed = 1,        /**< Inputs or outputs have been overridden with new values */
    Plugin_Handled = 3,        /**< Handle the action at the end (don't call it) */
    Plugin_Stop = 4,        /**< Immediately stop the hook chain and handle the original */

Yes, I needed to get the return value of every single forward to change things based on its return value, hence why I made this library.
