I realize that there are alot of questions pertaining mostly to function behavior, description, parameter meanings and more. So I've decided to make this thread where you can post any function you'd like, ask a question towards that function and I (or some other scripter who's willing to help) will answer it as best as we could. But please keep this exclusive to individual functions instead of using it as a thread to debug plugins or ask how to script.

A perfectly good example of how to ask for help:

Plugin_Init()
What does this do?

Very plain, simple and to the point.

I will try to answer all querstions as fully as possible whenever I get the chance, but do understand I'm not on here 24/7....

Would you mind explaining fully what set_user_rendering can do?

hi

/* Executes command on player. */
native client_cmd(index,const command[],{Float,Sql,Result,_}:...);

/* This is an emulation of a client command (commands aren't send to client!).
* It allows to execute some commands on players and bots.
* Function is excellent for forcing to do an action related to a game (not settings!).
* The command must stand alone but in arguments you can use spaces. */
native engclient_cmd(index,const command[],arg1[]="",arg2[]="");

whats better ?
can both do smae thing ?
what commands work/dosent work ?
some exampl... ?? say kill bind connect quit .....

Im not to sure. I know for a fact that most scripters use client_cmd (excessively too). I suppose, from the description given, eng_cmd directly performs an engine command on the player given through index. I suppose these commands have to be related with the game you are using, not client commands though (like quit, kill, +forward) which originates from the client and is then sent from the client to the engine. I can't think of any engine commands off the time of my head though. As well while client_cmds may be relating to actual client commands whether that be set with amxmodx plugins or just general settings from the server.

So overall client_cmd is better, especially in your case where you want to execute commands like quit, connect and such on a player.

am wondering if anyone could help me.... i am new to SMALL and am playing around writing a plugin...

the following is my plugin

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <sockets>

public plugin_init() {
	register_plugin("Admin Call to IRC","0.16","AAA.Gigga")
	register_cvar("irc_hostname","<IP HERE>")	
	register_clcmd("needadmin","needadmin")
	register_clcmd("say /needadmin","needadmin")
	
	return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

public needadmin(id) {
	new name[32],ihostname[20],botcon,error
	get_user_name(id,name,32)
	get_cvar_string("irc_hostname",ihostname,15)
	botcon = socket_open(ihostname, 9090, SOCKET_TCP, error)
	
	if(botcon < 1)
	{
		server_print("[AMXX] Server [ADMIN] Requested by %s :: Failed :: %s", name, error)
		return PLUGIN_HANDLED
	} 
	client_print(0,print_chat,"[AMXX] Server [ADMIN] Requested by %s :: A request for a Server Admin has been sent to #aaa", name)
	server_print("[AMXX] Server [ADMIN] Requested by %s :: A request for a Server Admin has been sent to #aaa", name)
	socket_close(botcon)
	return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

what i am trying to do is a socket connect at open of script and close at end, i ave changed it temp to check to see if it works...

without all the socket stull the command works fine in game, on command it frints a message to the id.. all good

soon as i add the socket stuff
i get a error when server loads that says

L 10/30/2004 - 04:06:41: [AMXX] Function not found (name "socket_close") (plugin "pluginname.amx")

if i temp remove socket close i get the same error about socket_open
is there a problem that is realy noticable?

i am using amxx 0.16 and the compiler that it came with
compiling works fine.. no errors

any help would be great

[BAILOPAN]

enable socket module.

also don't bump old posts with irrelevant content

[AAA.Gigga]

sorry... only posted here because it was about functions..

can i use the .20 socket module in .16?

[BAILOPAN]

nope. if you look in module section archives you can find 0.16 version
