I'm still not decided, but currently I write only the first letter (or letters, if function's type title is made from 2 words, like forward - fw). Like eDeathMsg() for event and cSay for command. Also sPrint() for stock. BTW is the g_Test pointer (although danielkza said there are no pointers in Pawn) or a normal integer? Code: g_Test = register_cvar("amx_test", "1"); I was used to treat it as pointers (so g_Test was g_pTest) but then I realized I have no idea what pointer really is so now I treat is as normal integer (g_Test is now g_iTest). Which one is more correct?

There is some confusion in this old post but for those who read it and don't understand why is pointer mentioned on it and what does pointers have to do with pawn:

In pawn there isn't the concept "pointer" (a variable which value is an address and that, with features of the language, can be used to perform operations on/with the data that is located at that address).

What is happening here is that register_cvar returns an address that in a language like C++ can be used as a pointer but in Pawn it can only be provided to a native in C++ so that it can be used as a pointer. So g_Test holds an address but that isn't enough to make it a pointer because pawn doesn't has pointers.

I strongly agree with the "Tabbing and Spacing" part
Its soo annoying when u get a wall of text in the source

Good tut

nice thread hawk + i agree cuz its very similar to my style
good codes are one thing, finding solutions for huge problems is another thing BUT having a readable code has a very high priority as soon as you are planning to release a plugin or share the source in any way. just look at numbs plugins, then you know what i mean (at least most of his plugins show how a code shouldnt... ).

hey Hawk, nice tut but I allways use in my plugins semicolons at the end of line.....
My question is, i must put this #pragma semicolon 1 in every plugin?

[hleV]

No.

[tuty]

ok thank you

[xPaw]

you can put it to be sure what you placed ; at end of all lines :]

[hleV]

IMO it's useless because there's nothing bad if you forgot to put ; somewhere.

It's a nice habit to use ; so that you won't need to have to remember to use it in one language and not another.

I program in C++ at work and I have no problem switching between the two at any time.
