...zero, is gg programmed in java?

because that was a java method you posted earlier.

[ZERO]

No but the language is very similar and the method calls and construction are the same. Also you do not need; as it will still prase line by line but manny sm coders like be still put them in. Here look at my tracer plugin for example:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools_functions>
#include <sdktools>


#define VERSION "1.0"

new Handle:hGameConf = INVALID_HANDLE; //*added =... from laser_tag.sp
new Handle:hGetWeaponPosition = INVALID_HANDLE; //*added =... from laser_tag.sp
new g_sprite; //*from laser_tag.sp


public OnMapStart() //*from laser_tag.sp
{
    g_sprite = PrecacheModel("materials/effects/gunshiptracer.vmt");
}

public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
    name = "Tracers",
    author = "ZERO <ibis>",
    description = "Makes tracers follow bullets",
    version = VERSION,
    url = "www.ibisgaming.com"
};


// create convars and hook event
public OnPluginStart()
{
    //*from laser_tag.sp
    hGameConf = LoadGameConfigFile("laser_tag.games");
    if(hGameConf == INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        SetFailState("gamedata/laser_tag.games.txt not loadable");
    }
    
    
    // Prep some virtual SDK calls *from laser_tag.sp
    StartPrepSDKCall(SDKCall_Player);
    PrepSDKCall_SetFromConf(hGameConf, SDKConf_Virtual, "Weapon_ShootPosition");
    PrepSDKCall_SetReturnInfo(SDKType_Vector, SDKPass_ByValue);
    hGetWeaponPosition = EndPrepSDKCall();
    
    
    
    HookEvent("bullet_impact",Fire);
}



public Fire(Handle:event,const String:name[],bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    if(GetRandomInt(1, 10) <= 2)
    {
        new clientid = GetEventInt(event,"userid");
        new client = GetClientOfUserId(clientid);
        
        new Float:start[3];
        SDKCall(hGetWeaponPosition, client, start);
        
        new Float:end[3]; //consolidated from earlier code however simular to usage in laser_tag.sp
        end[0] = GetEventFloat(event,"x");
        end[1] = GetEventFloat(event,"y");
        end[2] = GetEventFloat(event,"z");
        
        // The following code moves the beam a little bit further away from the player *from laser_tag.sp
        new Float:distance = GetVectorDistance( start, end );
        
        
        // calculate the percentage between 0.4 and the actual distance *from laser_tag.sp
        new Float:percentage = 0.4 / ( distance / 100 );
        
        // we add the difference between origin and destination times the percentage to calculate the new origin *from laser_tag.sp
        new Float:newstart[3];
        newstart[0] = start[0] + ( ( end[0] - start[0] ) * percentage );
        newstart[1] = start[1] + ( ( end[1] - start[1] ) * percentage ) - 0.08;
        newstart[2] = start[2] + ( ( end[2] - start[2] ) * percentage );
        
        new Float:life = 0.3; //*from laser_tag.sp
        new Float:width = 1.0; //*from laser_tag.sp
        new color[4]; //*from laser_tag.sp
        color[0] = 255; //R
        color[1] = 255; //G
        color[2] = 255; //B
        color[3] = 100; //transparency
        
        BeamClient(newstart, end, g_sprite, 0, 0, 0, life, width, width, 1, 0.0, color, 1); //parts *from laser_tag.sp
        BeamClient(end, newstart, g_sprite, 0, 0, 0, life, width+2, width+4, 1, 0.0, color, 6); //parts *from laser_tag.sp

        }
}

BeamClient(const Float:start[3], const Float:end[3], ModelIndex, HaloIndex, StartFrame, FrameRate, Float:Life, Float:Width, Float:EndWidth, FadeLength, Float:Amplitude, const Color[4], Speed)
{
    TE_SetupBeamPoints(start, end, ModelIndex, HaloIndex, StartFrame, FrameRate, Life, Width, EndWidth, FadeLength, Amplitude, Color, Speed);
    TE_SendToAll();
}

You should notice that array usage is basically identical. You can use it the same way like new array[3] = {object,object2,object3}; if you want. However strings are handled in a way that still confuses me a bit. It looks like you can not really create an array of stings and that if you do you need a special method converter. Also when you make strings you must define the length like new String:mystring[256]; creates a 256byt string.

It actually looks like something I'd like to play with. I have an old blade server here maybe I'll load up a local copy of CS:S and play with it.

well, it looks actually like a fusion between c++ and java. you're right, the methods are identical to how you'd handle it in java, but the header section (the #includes and such) are straight from c++. about the string arrays, do arraylists exist in this language? they're so much easier to use and manipulate than arrays.

[ZERO]

That is why in other posts I have made I refer to it as java but in c++.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

well would an arraylist work?
