You can also use the MAX_PLAYERS constant which is defined for you in 1.8.3, if you are using 1.8.2 or earlier, you'll need to define it yourself

PHP Code:

#define MAX_PLAYERS 32

i have several plugins in which i get run time errors, for example a custom night vision which has something like this

fw_HamKilled(victim, etc, etc )
{
set_player_lighting(victim)
}

and i use some entities as pets or npc on the server, and i get run time errors and crashes in one case
and i think it might be because the server is trying to set the lighting to the entities...
so how could that example in this case?

[Bugsy]

Ham forwards are registered to a specific entity type so you do not need to check if it's a player since it will only fire for players if that's how you created it. If there are other entities that come through the callback, as with Ham_TakeDamage (ie. inflictor, attacker), then you need to check if they are players.

RegisterHam( Ham_Killed , "player" , "HamKilled" )

if this is a thread for questions that don't deserve their own threads
do task IDs from two different plugins conflict?
eg, plugin #1 creates a task with id 7777
plugin #2 checks if task exists then removes it

will it delete the task from the first plugin?
if so, is it possible to avoid this?

Look at the natives parameters, you have your answer there.

[Bugsy]

Why don't you test this yourself?

[Depresie]

probably because he doesn't have a server or a test server now in his pc..
also, it would of been easier for all of us if the answer would of been just yes or no..
you guys must understand that answering these kind of questions would not only help the one who is asking, but the other newbies around the forum...

i think we should have a sticky topic with these kind of questions, so newbies can search or ask this kind of stuff to avoid countless threads

@aron

i think the answer is no... since usualy you have to create a native for plugins to communicate with each other..

[HamletEagle]

My answer was exactly what you need. But, if you are too lazy to check the wiki/open an include file how do you expect to learn ? Someone can't give you all the answers everytime.

And yes, such page exists...it's the function list.

http://www.amxmodx.org/api/amxmodx/task_exists
http://www.amxmodx.org/api/amxmodx/remove_task

outside: Will remove tasks set by other plugins if nonzero

You guys must understand that documentation is available for a purpose and you should check it, because it helps.

So is there any way to stop other plugin's from stopping my task?
I see no params at set_task to make it unstoppable(kek)


Also ham, consider the amount of work it took you to write all these long replies and compare it to how much it would have taken you to just simply answer "no, unless specified". I might have taken the hint and looked at the docs, but not everyone is a bookworm.
Also notice I wrote some specific keywords in my question, because I could have simply asked "can a plugin remove a task set by another plugin?". I wrote "task" "id" "conflict" because that's what somebody would search on google, and that's how they'd land on this site.

After all, you're not obligated to reply to these threads or posts so don't complain if people post something you personally think is useless. Either someone else will reply or the thread will just get washed away

@Hamlet
Sometimes the documentation doesn't explain things very well, or some of us doesn't have the knowledge to fully understand it so dont be mean Deagle )
