I am using the latest SourceMod, Linux Server, Half-Life 2: DM. I am simply trying to create a database, and it does, but for some reason, if I use a timer, and then call StrEqual...it makes a SECOND empty database with whatever name is in the first field of "StrEqual"

Here is an image from FTP showing the two files being made:

The code below will reproduce it...

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>

new Handle:g_hDB = INVALID_HANDLE;

public OnPluginStart()
{
    InitDB();
    CreateTimer(3.0, wtf_is_going_on);
}

stock Action:wtf_is_going_on(Handle:timer)
{
    if(StrEqual("it_makes_an_empty_database_with_whatever_is_here", "")) {}
}

stock InitDB()
{
    new String:error[255];
    g_hDB = SQLite_UseDatabase("my_database", error, sizeof(error));
}

cba to start a server and try running that, but I compiled it with spcomp 1.8.0.5967 and then fed that to Lysis, and it gives me back https://pastebin.com/raw/Ti5CwMq0, which is pretty funny. not sure what went wrong there, but you should def file a bug on the issues page.

Thank you for verifying it wasn't just my end, appreciate it! I did as suggested and submitted and issue report on the SM GitHub

Hopefully some light will be shed on this very strange problem

Issue is solved.

simply needed to change the timer from a stock action to a public action

PHP Code:

public Action:wtf_is_going_on(Handle:timer) 
{ 
    if(StrEqual("it_makes_an_empty_database_with_whatever_is_here", "")) {} 
} 


Very weird that it would cause that kind of an "issue", but that fixed it perfectly
