Various problems

I've decided to make one thread about the problems I have, instead of 10
So any future problems I have will go here :)

So, I want to get all the arguments after a certain one..
like the command is "say hello and die" I want to be able to get "hello and die" from that - but the trick is it has to work for "say hello and how are you", and get "hello and how are you"
Any Suggestions?
The other problem is - I dont know why this doesnt work:

Code:

new pid = find_player("abcdl",username)
if (!pid) {
    client_print(id,print_chat,"[NSX] No such user")
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

username is a variable that has what the user inputted, part of a name, a steamid, whatever - it *always* says user not found

And is this the correct way to switch about the cvar?

Code:

    switch(get_cvar_num("amx_show_activity")) 
    {
        case 1: client_print(0,print_chat,"[NSX] Admin used command nsx_uncomm %s",targetname)
        case 2: client_print(0,print_chat,"[NSX] %s used command nsx_uncomm %s",username,targetname)
    }

That *should* check amx_show_activity, and display the proper one, but it doesnt display anything, and I DO NOT SEE amx_show_activity with amxx cvars

i can post from old amx ones
1. i use this one

Code:

public playtime_say(id){
   new speech[192] 
   new query[33] 
   read_args(speech,192) 
   remove_quotes(speech)
//   client_print(id,print_console,"[AMX] PlayTime - DEbug s '%s'", speech) 

   new i = 0
   if(equal(speech,"/playtimetop", 12))
        playtime_report(id,"",1)
   else if(equal(speech,"/playtime", 9))
   {
     while(speech[10+i]){//copying the rest of the say text as a query text (without /playtime)
           query[i] = speech[10+i]
           i++
     }
//      client_print(id,print_console,"[AMX] PlayTime - Debug q '%s'", query) 

     if(!strlen(query))
    get_user_name(id,query,32)
//      client_print(id,print_console,"[AMX] PlayTime - Debug q2 '%s'", query) 

     playtime_report(id,query)
   //playtime_report(id,speech[10])
   }

   return PLUGIN_CONTINUE //the say text can be parsed by other plugins so use plugin_continue

}

the say command contains 1 arg - the string after
say "anythign here utill enter pressed"

and in the plugin i get that argument and the check
if it contains /playtime or /playtimetop
if playtimetop -run fuction with different parameters
if playtime and after that there are not text then run funtion with player name partameter (as a query)
otherwise run funtion ith the rest of the string

2. the admin.sma will help you for sure, there are the best examples of finding the players

3. better
new num = get_cvar_num(...)
then round it and finally use switch
here i suggest adminmenu.sma addon
