Thread: Useful Function Thread (Frequently updated)

Also something you must add before launching the next version, the 32 player server said there were 0 players, when I entered I saw a guy, and I killed him, also, the same thing happened on the 0.1 test server, the same guy, but he disappeared.IDK maybe he entered after me in the server.

999 ping usually means that the mod failed to ping the server (I have to change that 999 to something else). The only "official" servers are those named "vaultmp 0.1a testserver", you should be able to properly ping them

BTW, the next revision will come with the updated version of PAWN. Scripters may want to check this: https://www.compuphase.com/pawn/pawnhistory.htm

TBH, I wouldn't even wanna move to the new PAWN they're currently on. They've removed so many great things like enumerators. Not really sure it if it's true but I'd recommend using the PAWN version that was made about 5 - 3 years ago.

to use an enum in the lastest pawn, just replace "enum ..." with "const ..."

is it so hard?

Code :

stock Times_String_Repeated( strSrc[], strWhat[], bool:casesensitive = true)

  new Times = 0, pos = -1;
  while((pos = strfind(strSrc, strWhat, casesensitive, (pos + 1))) != -1) Times ++;
  return Times;
}
 
stock getDigits(const value, strDig[]) //by RyDeR`
{
  valstr(strDig, value, true);
  for(new i; strDig{i} != EOS; ++i) strDig{i} -= '0';
} 
 
stock explode(const sSource[], aExplode[][], const sDelimiter[] = " ", iVertices = sizeof aExplode, iLength = sizeof aExplode[])//not by me

The syntax is quite different, it is going to be hard to get used to it for him I guess..

hahaha Didn't relise. I'll add those functions soon though

Hm, will there be save data(server side)?

No, you will need to script that using the file functions. I hope to release a simple file writer soon.
