Hello. How can I send data from a plugin to another?

Thankyou.

Using Natives, explained on the Creating Natives (SourceMod Scripting) wiki.

Using Forwards, explained on the Function Calling API (SourceMod Scripting) wiki.

It can be achieved with either of them, or a combination of them both. What suit best highly depends on your project / use case.

A native can be called to request and retrieve things here and now, however, with a forward the originating plugin notifies other plugins (that cares about the forward name) about the change, so they also know what happened.

As a side note to what arne said, if you're using forwards you probably want a global forward.

Private forwards are only really if you want to put restrictions on the plugins that get messages from your plugins, such as making it so only a single implementation can be used for data storage (text files, sqlite, mysql?)
