I hope this question is in the right sub-forum, if it is not please forgive me. I would like honest answers to my question below please.

How hard would it be to convert an AMX Mod X plugin into a Sourcemod plugin?

I have a plugin from CS 1.6 that I would love to bring into CSGO. I know that amx uses pawn scripting and sourcemod uses sourcepawn but just how much different are these two scripting languages? Would the task of converting be a difficult task or an easier one?

Over the past two months I have been teaching myself amxmod scripting and the pawn language and I realized that I should direct my enthusiasm for learning towards sourcemod and the sourcepawn language instead. I learned most of the fundamentals of amx/pawn scripting and would love to continue this learning journey with sourcemod/sourcepawn.

In conclusion, this is not a technical question but more of a computer science/hypothetical question. With the help of all you knowledgeable users on this form and the abundance of free resources out there that can teach me sourcemod scripting, could I potentially easily convert an amx plugin into a sourcemod plugin? Thank you for reading this long winded question and all answers are welcome.

honestly it shouldn't be hard at all, as long as you can read/write and understand amx and sourcemod. The main difficulty comes in how large the plugin is. if it's a small plugin it will be really easy, but much bigger 1500+ lines of code will take significantly more time of course.

It depends on exactly what the plugin is doing. There are some things in GoldSrc that work completely differently in Source.

https://github.com/Rachnus/SuperHero-Mod-CSGO/ is pretty much a copy paste of superhero mod from 1.6 for AMX, just different functions and a bit different syntax but still pretty similar. Maybe this will help in any way.

Took me 3 hours for a mind boggling 5000 lines long Last Request plugin.
