MaxClients and get_players(func) | MAX_NAME_LENGTH and 32 definitions.

Can i use MaxClients in functions like this ?

Code:

stock get_realplayersnum() {
    new players[MAX_PLAYERS], playerCnt;
    get_players(players, playerCnt, "ch");
    return playerCnt;
}

-->

Code:

stock get_realplayersnum() {
    new playerCnt;
    get_players(MaxClients, playerCnt, "ch");
    return playerCnt;
}

~~ And another question about MAX_NAME_LENGTH

Code:

#define MAX_NAME_LENGTH 32 * The maximum buffer size required to store a clients name.

Can i use it for something like this

Code:

#define STRLEN_NAME 32
new g_szModNames[MODS_MAX][STRLEN_NAME]

-->

Code:

new g_szModNames[MODS_MAX][MAX_NAME_LENGTH]

2.) Yes, you can, because the difference is only in name - the result is same.

Absolutely not. The get_players() function requires an array for its first argument. MaxClients (I'm assuming this is from the dev version of AMX Mod X) is just a number.

I would not do that. That value is clearly very specific to a "player" name and exists because there is a limitation in length of a player's name (in the actual game code). It does not dictate how long your "mod" name in your code can be.
