I've read the wiki page on Natives over and over but I can't quite figure out how to use them.

Say in Plugin 1 I have this:

public APLRes:AskPluginLoad2(Handle:myself, bool:late, String:error[], err_max)
{
    CreateNative("GetAmount", N_GetAmount);
}

native Getamount();
public N_GetAmount(Handle:plugin, numParams)
{
    return amount;
}

I'm not entirely sure if I am doing that correctly, if someone could verify that. It compiles fine, however.

Then, in Plugin 2 I try to use it somewhere, but it of course doesn't compile because it has no idea of what's going on in plugin 1 (Undefined symbol). I think I need to put something in an include file but I have no idea what, if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

Look at the documentation on the wiki for natives in the scripting/SourcePawn section (not in the general SM development section, that's for C++).

You need to either use an include, or put this line in plugin2:

PHP Code:

native MyNative(); 


Here's how the files should look if you're using an include:

Plugin1:

PHP Code:

public APLRes:AskPluginLoad2(Handle:myself, bool:late, String:error, err_max)
{
    CreateNative("MyNative", Native_MyNative);
    return APLRes_Success;
}

public Native_MyNative(Handle:plugin, numParams)
{
    return 1;
} 


mynative.inc:

PHP Code:

native MyNative(); 


Plugin2:

PHP Code:

#include <mynative>
public SomeFunction()
{
   return MyNative();
} 


If you want to skip using the include, Plugin2 should look a bit like this:

PHP Code:

native MyNative();
public SomeFunction()
{
    return MyNative();
}

Thanks, I finally understand it! Got a little confused about what to do in the second plugin.
