I'm trying to assign a string to an array provided by the buffer parameter of my native. Trying to get it to work had an unexpected side effect. What is the correct way to do it?

Prototype:

native int getSecretName(int clientIndex, const char[] buffer, int buffersize=MAX_NAME_LENGTH);

Implementation:

public int Native_getSecretName(Handle plugin, int numparams){
	
	int clientID;
	int buffersize;
	any name[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
	clientID = GetNativeCell(1);
	
	if (clientID < 1 || clientID > MAXPLAYERS){
		return -1;
	}
	
	name = view_as<any>(secretNames[clientID]);
	
	buffersize = GetNativeCell(3);
	
	SetNativeArray(2, name, buffersize);
	
	return 0;
}

PHP Code:

int SetNativeString(int param, const char[] source, int maxlength, bool utf8=true, int &bytes=0) 


PHP Code:

SetNativeString(2, name, buffersize); 


Also char[] buffer should not be a constant.

Ooops

Thanks for the help by suggesting setnativestring. I've seen it so many times but it just evaded my mind.
