[PAWN]"Warning:Tag mismatch" on float return

[aXXo]

Hi.
Apparantly, im getting a "Warning 213: Tag Mismatch" on the line where im returning a float value in a function.
Function body:

Code Select Expand


public GetDistance(Float:X1,Float:Y1,Float:Z1,Float:X2,Float:Y2,Float:Z2)
{
new Float:X = floatsub(X2,X1);
new Float:Y = floatsub(Y2,Y1);
new Float:Z = floatsub(Z2,Z1);
new Float:Dist = floatsqroot(floatadd(floatadd(floatpower(X,2),floatpower(Y,2)),floatpower(Z,2)));
return Dist;
}


The function is returning a random, wrong value......
Then, i replaced:

Code Select Expand

public GetDistance(Float:X1,Float:Y1,Float:Z1,Float:X2,Float:Y2,Float:Z2)

by

Code Select Expand

public Float:GetDistance(Float:X1,Float:Y1,Float:Z1,Float:X2,Float:Y2,Float:Z2)

The Warning changes to:

Code Select Expand

warning 208: function with tag result used before definition, forcing reparse

Now the function returns an accurate value....
But still...any method to remove the warning?

Need to have forward Float:GetDistance as well, Pawn is really gay with the whole tag thingy.

I use this:

Code Select Expand

public GetDistance(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)
{
new Float:dis;

dis = floatsqroot((x2-x1)*(x2-x1)+(y2-y1)*(y2-y1)+(z2-z1)*(z2-z1));
return floatround(dis);
}

You need to define your function above wherever it is first used. On top of the script (but below includes) will do.

Just to show you how sucky pawn is, this is how I stopped tag mismatch warnings.

Code Select Expand


forward Float:DistanceCalc( Float:x1, Float:x2, Float:y1, Float:y2, Float:z1, Float:z2 );


Code Select Expand


public Float:DistanceCalc( Float:x1, Float:x2, Float:y1, Float:y2, Float:z1, Float:z2 )
{
       // Do your stuff here
}

Arright, a function prototype

So, is it advisable to have a prototype for every public function?
or just the ones which give tag mismatch?

[Force]

Only one's that you create yourself that are giving tag mismatch warnings.

*sigh*
1) "public" is not needed.
2) Prototypes (forwards) are not needed.
3) A function returning floats must have "Float:" in front of it and be defined before it's first used.
4) kthxbye
