[HLM]

I have a string that should be an integer, and I would like to incorporate this string into a switch, more specifically, this string is chat, is there some way of manipulating format do turn the string into a digit? I have tried it several different ways, but either it gives me wrong values or it fails to compile with thie error:

/amxx/sma/overkill.sma(279) : error 029: invalid expression, assumed zero

here is the code I was trying this with

PHP Code:

        else if( (containi(said,"health")) != -1 )
        {
            replace(said,191,"health ","")
            //buying health
            new buffer[33]
            format(buffer,32,"%i",said)
            client_print(x,print_chat,"[DEBUG] %d %s %s",buffer[0],buffer[0],said)
            
            // {
                // if(equali(said,"x") != -1)
                // {
                    
                // }
                // else if(equali(said,"x") != -1)
                // {
                    
                // }
            // }
        } 


I have tried everything possible, but I cannot get it to return a proper value :/

dude.. go to www.privatepaste.com and send me the link i going to make your plugin work to compile..

[HLM]

the plugin compiles, the problem is I don't know how to manipulate format() to turn a string to an integer.

[Emp`]

The format native is for formatting a string.

If you want to read an integer from a string, use str_to_num.

[HLM]

I was under the impression that str_to_num simply used an algorithm to convert the string to a unique number, this is not the case?

PHP Code:

        else if( (containi(said,"health")) != -1 )
        {
            replace(said,191,"health ","")
            //buying health
            str_to_num(said)
            client_print(x,print_chat,"[DEBUG] %d %i",str_to_num(said),str_to_num(said))
            
            // {
                // if(equali(said,"x") != -1)
                // {
                    
                // }
                // else if(equali(said,"x") != -1)
                // {
                    
                // }
            // }
        } 


ahh, thank you Emp`!

Well, yeah, it does! The unique number is the number represented by the string!!
