Hi, I am new to SourceMod, and I am trying to make a simple plugin where I store damage information (a log) for each player.

Thus I have the following global variable (amongst many others):

int g_DmgDealt[MAXPLAYERS+1][MAXPLAYERS+1];

For each hit taken I then increment the stored value with the damage dealth. However, I would instead like to store an "object" that contains information about damage dealt, hitbox hit, timestamp, damage source (maybe also ref to client/player hit). For now I have created a different array for each of these scenarios, but is it not possible to store a struct in the array instead?

So my idea is to define the following struct in my include file:

struct Damage {
	public const int timestamp;
	public const int dmg;
	public const int dmgSource;
	public const Hitbox hitbox;	
};

// Code for hitbox
enum Hitbox{
	HITBOX_HEAD = 0,
	HITBOX_BODY,
	HITBOX_TORSO,
	HITBOX_STOMACH,
	HITBOX_ARM_LEFT,
	HITBOX_ARM_RIGHT,
	HITBOX_LEG_LEFT,
	HITBOX_LEG_RIGHT
};

and then simply have:

Damage g_damageDealth[MAXPLAYERS + 1][MAXPLAYERS + 1]

Can someone explain to me how I can declare a struct and then create an array of structs? Also I have been trying to get my own enum as part of the struct, however, I could not get that to compile when I define the struct, as it is unable to find the type Hitbox.

With the above mentioned definition the following code does not compile:

// Dummy construction of struct to test.
Damage dmgInfo = {
	timestamp = 01234,
	dmg = 1,
	dmgSource = 2,
	Hitbox = HITBOX_HEAD
}

Also I have read various threads about enums and structs and it seems that they are discouraged with the new syntax?
In any case, I would like to know if I should totally drop this notion of using enums and structs and arrays together and go with lots of different array declarations instead?

Structs aren't supported

Can you explain to me then, how structs are used in terms of the plugin info? That is a struct, is it not?

I have the same question... I've seen structs in include files, but searching in the forum realized that everyone says sourcepawn does not support it

Maybe you are looking for methodmap? Or "dynamic" by neurotoxin

[hmmmmm]

You can use enum structs instead

Are objects planned for sourcepawn?

As far as I know - nope.
You could write a methodmap to wrap around StringMap (or use SMObjects) to feel object-oriented programming even though it isn't.

That's amxx, please don't do this in your plugins, if it gets too big it'll be harder to control later on and end up being more confusing when you get an error.

enum structs also work in SourceMod, although you do have to use the older style code.

Having said that, #pragma newdecls required allows enum structs for exactly this reason.
