I gave pawn scripting my first shot but I'm struggling to understand about how to get a user's id from entering a command.
I was trying to write a code that will simply give you a shotgun by typing:
amx_giveshotgun <name> shotgun
Whenever I type in anything anywhere, it goes straight to printing to console
"you didn't type 'shotgun'"

The entire code is at the bottom.

public plugin_init(){
	register_plugin(PLUGIN,VERSION,AUTHOR);
	register_concmd("amx_giveshotgun","giveWeapon",ADMIN_KICK,"<target> <weaponid> enter 0-4");
}
public giveWeapon(id,key[]){

From what I know about defining methods, the parameters must be entered by the user. Which means, in this case, 'id' is just a variable. What I don't understand, or can't follow, is people somehow get the parameter id, to relate to the player initiating the command.

What do I do to set 'id' equal to the user's id so the method is returned to the right player?
I have looked at tutorials and other people's codes but none of them talk directly about getting a player's id

The code has no trouble compiling, but has trouble working.

#include <amxmodx>
#include <fun>
#include <amxmisc>

#define PLUGIN "giveWeapon"
#define VERSION "1.5"
#define AUTHOR "KneeGrow"

public plugin_init(){
	register_plugin(PLUGIN,VERSION,AUTHOR);
	register_concmd("amx_giveshotgun","giveWeapon",ADMIN_KICK,"<target> <weaponid> enter 0-4");
}
public giveWeapon(id,key[]){
	if(equali(key,"shotgun")){
		give_item(id,"weapon_shotgun");
		return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
	} else {
		console_print(id,"you didn't type 'shotgun'");
	}
	return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
	
}

and the way I've seen people deal with arrays has been hurting my brain since I'm used to reading java

You are doing it wrong.

public giveWeapon(id)

and then use read_argv to get the parameters

[KneeGrow]

how would i use read_argv?
make something like
new user[32];
read_argv(1,user,31);
??

Search, there are a few Introduction tutorials out there

PHP Code:

public giveWeapon(id, level, cid)
{
    //Checks if the person calling function has access to this command
    if(!cmd_access(id,level,cid,3))
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
    //Initialize some new variables to hold data.
    new target[32], weaponid[32];
    //Store data from arguments into our new variables
    read_argv(1, target, 31 );
    read_argv(2, weaponid, 31 );
    //Create a target for our command (the player)
    new player = cmd_target( id, target, 8 );
    //If !player, return the function immediately
    if(!player) 
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
    //New variables to hold Admin and Player's names (if you want to print or log activity).
    new admin_name[32]; get_user_name(id, admin_name, charsmax(admin_name));
    new player_name[32]; get_user_name(player, player_name, charsmax(player_name));
    
    //Rest of your function goes here.

} 


Hope this helps, I think you can figure out the rest from here.
