So I am debugging this plugin and I am wonder what will happen if multiple instances of the same event handler get called simultaneously and try to change the same variable.

For example:

new cheese
.
.
.
public event_money(id)
{
   cheese++
}

where event_money is the handler of the Money event and two users buy stuff at the same time.

Is there something in amxx that would prevent this from happening, and if not then what would likely happen?

I suspect that this thing actually crashes the server, but I am not 100% sure.

new cheese[33]

...


cheese[id]++



?????

oh yes...i know, that is what I changed it to, too

but I am just curious if that was even necessary...

Well since we don't know what your trying to do... What you did new cheese[33] will allow it to increment for every USER that it happens to..You basicly made an array. User ID's are from 1 - 32 err mabye 0 - 31 not sure... but anyway..when event_money is called cheese[id] will be the persons ID so if they are #7 and that runs its basicly doing cheese[7]++ // so index 7 in the array is going to be added +1

I would have thought that two functions can't be called "simultaneously" because HL is single-threaded.

It's 1-32 styles.
