PAWN Tutorials

[Poncho]

Anyone know any good PAWNO tutorials or resources? Other than the samp wiki?

I code in C++, C#, PHP with MySQL, AJAX, AS2 and AS3 but have just started PAWNO a few days ago. It seems pretty straight forward but just need help on a few things.

So I was wondering what the best resources and websites are, and if there are any good forums etc.

Also, if you guys ever had any time, could you write up some tutorials here? Like in a "Scripting" forum on here, then all members that use PAWNO could add to it and help each other?

Just a thought.

Thanks for your time,

Poncho.

 You can find PAWNO help at the SA-MP forums and on the website that has the copyrights of PAWNO http://compuphase.com/pawn/pawn.htm . I believe u can find some help here - CompuPhase posted some info about PAWNO scripting

No you cant. PAWNO isnt a scripting language - its an editor.  The actual language is pawn - and I learnt it by reading scripts in the server package.

Ah okay thanks TL, I'll look around on there, and okay Icarus sorry, PAWN.

Damn you got here before me - my definition - PAWNO is the complier , PAWN is the 1337 0WN463 14N6U463

The tuts on the SA:MP wiki suck, i suggest teaching yourself from working examples and readin through the scripting problems section.

This tutorial better work >_< I just cant seem to understand scripting.

I can use Debug fine.... The rest is like me speaking chinese

EDIT: WooooooT!

Scripted my first bit! It complied fine! ftw!

public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])
{
new string[256];
format(string,sizeof(string),"Message sent %s",text,string);
SendClientMessage(playerid,0x33AA33AA,string);
   return 1;
}

HELP  :help:

[WDoyle]

personally  i believe that scripting isn't too hard if you understand how it all works

[AndreTamm]

Agreed with Haldir, though wiki.sa-mp.com has good tutorials, few made by me also.

public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])
{
new string[256];
format(string,sizeof(string),"Message sent %s",text,string);
SendClientMessage(playerid,0x33AA33AA,string);
   return 1;
}

Compiling doesn't mean working.
You are formatting 2 things into one "%s" + What is string, your empty variable?

Code: [Select]

public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])
{
    new string[256];
    format(string, sizeof(string), "%s", text);
    SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x33AA33AA, string);
    return 1;
}

Thanks for all the help, I had forgotten I had posted this, so there are a lot more responses than there were when I last looked.

Thanks for all the help guys and all the links, and I'll look at Tutorial.pwn, I've got pretty far so far with it as most is straight forward, and I got strtok(); working quite easily. Only when I tried it again, I just get a tag mismatch error on the line with else if(strcmp... even though the syntax is exactly the same as the previous strtok(); function with different variables...

Also, what I really want to do now is use the database functions but can't find any info on them, except some tutorials in russian on the samp wiki...

So if anyone can find anything on them, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for all the help so far.
