Hey guys, its been a VERY long time since I've been on VCMP. I just wanted to check in say hi to all who knows me. I really wish I could have been playing since all this time, but I cant afford anything right now. I don't have internet anymore not even dial up, and my computer sucks shit because it cant even play the simplest games. I would need to boost the ram and get a better graphics card otherwise just buy a new computer. But its been fun, and hope to game with you in the future. - Kittrell P.S. I am really hitting it off with my music, check out www.reverbnation.com/age15 I have too many songs to count but let me know what you guy's think. - Thank you! 

I want to try to make a command that says /c wanted and it should tell how many people that are wanted in the server and I was looking at !admins and !warns but I feel that is a little too complex for me. I don't how how to work in the parts with the ++ like at the very end of the script.

I have my IsWanted[playerid] but how would i make it count everyone who is wanted in the server

I'm tired because I stayed up all night working on my script. But when I'm tired its like I don't give a damn and I just do it. I need a little help with this. I'm making a jail command for my cops N robbers server. And this idea is based on how Argonath's server jail system is. I'm kind of stuck and I get 26 errors and I want to find the source of the problem. So lets start.

I have

[pawn]new AutoJail[MAX_PLAYERS];
new IsJailed[MAX_PLAYERS];[/pawn]

At the top.

Now I have my command that starts it all.

[pawn]}
   else if ( strcmp( cmd, "jail", true ) == 0 )
   {
      new szMsg[ 128 ], plr;
      tmp = strtok( cmdtext, idx ), plr = FindPlayerIDFromString( tmp );
      if(PlayerInfo[playerid][Logged] != 1) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "*****You need to login first*****");
      else if(IsCop[playerid] == 0) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW,"*****Only Officers Of The Law Can Use This*****");
      else if (!strlen(tmp)) SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_RED,"USAGE: /c jail [Nick/ID]");
        else if(strcmp(GetPlayerLocation(playerid), "Vice-City-Prison-Washington-Beach-Vice-City-Beach", false) == 0) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "*****[Error]You have to be at the jail cells to jail someone!*****");
        else if(strcmp(GetPlayerLocation(plr), "Vice-City-Prison-Washington-Beach-Vice-City-Beach", false) == 0) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "*****[Error]%s has to be at the jail cells to be jailed!*****", gPlayers[playerid]);
      else if (IsCop[plr] == 1) SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"*****[Error] %s Is A Cop!*****", gPlayers[playerid]);
       else if (plr == INACTIVE_PLAYER_ID) SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"*****[Error] Unknown player*****");
      else if (IsCriminal[plr] == 0) SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"*****[Error] >> %s << has not commited a crime!*****", gPlayers[playerid]);
       {
          format( szMsg, sizeof( szMsg ), "*****Officer >> %s << has jailed >> %s <<*****", gPlayers[ playerid ], gPlayers[ plr ]);
         SendClientMessageToAll( COLOR_YELLOW, szMsg );
         SetPlayerPos(plr,387.873, -509.743, 8.98706,0,0);
         (IsJailed [plr] = 1);
         TogglePlayerControllable(plr,0);
            RemovePlayerMarker(plr);
      }
      return 1;[/pawn]

I tried this one before but Stormeus was telling me about how you can't put timers on other people. So I thought it's just like a trap. Why not push them in and it works all by itself. So since they are jailed I'm telling the server they are and it should start the auto jail

My publics

[pawn]public OnPlayerJail(playerid)
{
if (IsJailed[playerid] == 1){
SetTimer("Jailed", 100000, 0);
GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~w~Jailed", 60000,0,0);
AutoJail[playerid] = 1;
}
return 1;

}

public OnPlayerAutoJail(playerid)
{
AutoJail[playerid] = 1;
if (strcmp(GetPlayerLocation(playerid), "Vice-City-Prison-Washington-Beach-Vice-City-Beach", false) == 0){
SetTimer("AutoJail", 3000, 1);
}
if (AutoJail[playerid] == 0){
KillTimer("AutoJail");
return 1;

}
[/pawn]

And then I have my timers

[pawn]public Jailed( playerid )
{
   AutoJail[playerid] = 0;
   SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "*****You have been released out of jail*****");
}

public AutoJail( playerid )
{
SetPlayerPos(playerid, 387.873, -509.743, 8.98706,0,0);
}[/pawn]

Is this not genius or what? heheh. Anyways I get these errors and I know on my public the if fails. I need something to put in that if.

if (strcmp(GetPlayerLocation(playerid), "Vice-City-Prison-Washington-Beach-Vice-City-Beach", false) == 0){

Is it too much info if I could ask the features of 0.4 when it comes out? I want to know just a little bit about what bugs will be fixed and what will be added. Thanks - Kittrell

How do I add pickups in the script that can teleport you to a certain coordinate? And How are pickups made? For instance I see some pickups that look like certain things how do you make it do that?

1st part I need help

2nd part I'm just curious

Can I get help on how I would fix my skin cmd? When your at a certain place and you are aloud that function for instance, I'm a cop I want to be like a UC cop, I have to go to the station to become that but I get a warning in my command. Can someone tell me how to fix this? I already have "cop," at the enum pInfo so I got that defined.

}
   else if (strcmp(cmd, "!cop", true) == 0) {
      if (PlayerInfo[playerid][Logged] != 1) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREEN, "Please login first");
      else {
         new szMsg[256];
         SetPlayerSkin(playerid, 1);
         SetPlayerWeapon(playerid, 17, 500);
         SetPlayerWeapon(playerid, 19, 500);
         PlayerInfo[playerid][cop] = 1;
         format(szMsg, sizeof(szMsg), "Welcome to the force, officer %s", gPlayers[playerid]);
         SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREEN, szMsg);
         SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREEN, "!cophelp");
         SetSpikes(playerid,1);
      }
      return 1;

And the warning I get says: warning 219: local variable "szMsg" shadows a variable at a preceding level

How would I fix this so I can remove the 5 warnings I have?

I am making a taze command but when I tried the timer it didnt work. For instance, I had }
   else if (strcmp(cmd, "taze", true) == 0) {
      new szMsg[256], plr;
      tmp = strtok(cmdtext, idx), plr = FindPlayerIDFromString(tmp);
      if(PlayerInfo[playerid][Logged] != 1) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "You need to login first!");
      else if (!strlen(tmp)) SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_RED,"USAGE: /c taze [Nick/ID]");
        else if (PlayerInfo[playerid][cop] != 1) SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_ORANGE, "Only officers can taze suspects.");
        else if (plr == INACTIVE_PLAYER_ID) SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_RED,"Error: Unknown player");
      else {
         format(szMsg,sizeof(szMsg),"Officer %s tazed suspect %s for 5 seconds",gPlayers[playerid],gPlayers[plr]);
            SetTimer("taze",5000,1);
         SendClientMessageToAll(COLOR_YELLOW,szMsg);
            TogglePlayerControllable(plr,0);
      }
      return 1;

I followed yazeens post in fuzzys topic, so I had this,

stock taze()
{
TogglePlayerControllable(playerid,0);
}

but when I taze myself I keep being frozen and it wont unfreeze me after 5 seconds

How do I make special pickups? Like I need some Armour pickups somewhere and some Weapons pickups and I really want to know how to add a bushiness pickup where you can buy it and if u wait it pays you money. Can someone help?
