how long have these "Scripting masterminds" been fighting, how about some 'Usefule Functions' in this topic.
I have idea settle your argument, whoever gives awesomess functions wins...
wins wat? idk, definetly not bragging rights because u too are bad enough already

now...

public SetPlayerWanted(playerid, amount)
{
new Wanted;
PlayerInfo[playerid][wanted] = amount;
Wanted = PlayerInfo[playerid][wanted];
GameTextForPlayerBottom(playerid, WantedBar(Wanted));
}
You will have to define some of the player info, but u can use all that data pretty well in an RPG script

Ya but it will take out some of the functionality

To change color u can use the color codes on the wiki here

He's right it is very easy, I started a few months ago

Good work, an interesting change from pawn, I particularly like the batch 

with the subnet function you could just make a command that adds a list of all the subnets and then compare them on player connect
This probably isnt ground breaking but here's a function for sending a message to players near another player

stock say(playerid,string[256])
{
    for(new i = 0; i <= MAX_PLAYERS; i++) {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(i) == 1) {
new Float:X,Float:Y,Float:Z;
GetPlayerPos(playerid,X,Y,Z);
            if (GetDistance(i,X,Y,Z) <= 10) {
SendClientMessage(i,COLOR_GREEN,string);
}
}
}
return 1;
}

This is just part of the script I use in my server with comments  on almost every line explaning a lot about variables, callbacks, and arrays
Just something to look at
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XQTTCBZ3

it compiles but when I use the command the car doesnt spawn and it gives me a message on console
"SCRIPT: Bad paramater count (32 != 7):

It is very risky and stupid, ya know unless you restrict kick/ban/warn to level 10 admins.
Did I do that!!?!?
I did!?!?!?

-thats right Robd is awesome  

and btw we also have a votekick  
democracy ftw!

**edit** fixed some admin problems

hmmm, glad i figured out a solution for this...
if anyone's interested i have an idea that would include using ServerInfo before the timer and then reading that in the actual function for later use...

The function for setting time seems to do nothing, just wondering what I can do about this...

Thank you 

One more question, sometimes when using timers with variables like

public test(playerid);
{
    PlayerInfo[playerid][test] = 1;
}

I get the same errors, is there anything i can do to avoid that?

sometimes when i do a function like

stock test()
{
    SendClientMessageToAll(COLOR_GREEN,"blablabla");
    ServerInfo[0][variable] = 1;
}

SetTimer("test",10000,0");

it gives me syntax errors

You do realise a blank script is included with pawno right?

Timer's have been giving me a lot of syntax errors, could someone please explain the criteria for a timer to work?
