Is there still no way to properly pass 2D arrays via a native ?

PHP Code:

new asString[8][64]

asString[0] = "String number one"
asString[1] = "String number two"
asString[2] = "String number three"

cn_send_via_native(asString) 


PHP Code:


public native_send_via_native(plugin_id, num_params)
{
???
???
}

Search about [get|set]_array.

You didn't understand what i am trying to do

Also, is there anyway to get how many times a character appears in a string other than creating a for loop and checking each cell manually ?

Try with:

PHP Code:

native get_array_2d(param, dest[][], size) = get_array;
// To use it:
new myArray[8][64];
get_array_2d(1, myArray, sizeof(myArray) + sizeof(myArray) * sizeof(myArray[]));
// Or define something like this to not have to use that math every time and possibly make a mistake
#define 2D_ARRAY_LENGTH(%0) (sizeof(%0) + sizeof(%0) * sizeof(%0[])) 


It's quite hacky but should work.

Should be a new thread. As far as I know, that's the only way. You can use Regex but that will just be slower.

Ahm, but how do i retrieve the data from the native ?

Also, this would be an overkill when sending 20 strings right ?

PHP Code:

public plugin_natives()
{
    register_native("get_array_2d", "native_array_2d")
}

public native_array_2d(plugin_id, num_params)
{
    ??

}

You didn't get my post.

PHP Code:

#define ARRAY_LENGTH_2D(%0) (sizeof(%0) + sizeof(%0) * sizeof(%0[]))
native get_array_2d(param, dest[][], size) = get_array;

public plugin_natives()
{
    register_native("pass_2d_array", "native_pass_2d_array");
}

// native pass_2d_array(2dArray[8][64]);
public native_pass_2d_array(pluginId, paramCount)
{
    new myArray[8][64];
    get_array_2d(1, myArray, ARRAY_LENGTH_2D(myArray));
} 


Be aware that you have to pass an array of [8][64] size or things will go bad. That's why you specify it in the native param.

Please no

Not encouraging the use of that ofc. Also please don't release a plugin using that. You can just use an Array: of strings anyway.

Mhmm, i was thinking of creating a string, containing all the other strings
The beginning each string to be noted with &
Send it via native
Then loop through all chars and see how many strings there are ( how many & we find )
Then copy each string to a new 2d array

But i don't know how will that impact the performance
For example creating/sending an array of 1024/2048 chars, then loop through each char.. wouldn't it kill the server ?

What i'm trying to do for better understanding the impact on the performance

1. Create a native to allow the user to play a sequence of sounds on x interval
2. Create a native to allow the user to show a sequence of messages on x interval
3. Create a "new menu system" to play some sounds on opening/selection and modify some text inside it

In your case you just should use CellArray; and send the Array handler via native.
