switch case help

[ramandu]

i'm trying to make a command group hierarchy.

if the players primary group is any of the four in the "case" statement, he has access to all of that groups commands.

but as soon as i increase any of the "case" values above two characters, it throws many compile errors.

Code: [Select]

stock
IsPlayerGroup_Mod(Player[], Primary_Group[])
{

switch (Primary_Group[0])
{


// case 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' : // ->  works
// case '1', '2', '3', '4': // -> This works too

case 'USER', 'ADMIN', 'HALF-ADMIN', 'MODERATOR': // -> but this dosnt work, why ?
{
return 1;

}
}
return 0;
}

calling syntax: IsPlayerGroup_Mod("Ramandu", "ADMIN");

how do i solve it ?

thankyou very much

[Boss]

Afair ' is used for characters only. Use " for strings.

[ramandu]

thankyou boss, it suppressed allot of the errors and leaves just this one;

Code: [Select]

error 008: must be a constant expression; assumed zero


[Boss]

Which exactly line gives that error?

It is usually thrown if you try to use variables outside of callbacks (e.g. specify array size with a variable).

[ramandu]

hi, it points directly to this line

Code: [Select]

case "USER", "ADMIN", "HALF-ADMIN", "MODERATOR":

i am calling it like this,

Code: [Select]

if ( IsPlayerGroup_Mod("ramandu", "MODERATOR") ) { printf("yes, ramandu's group MODERATOR is found and also has access to user, admin, half-admin commands"); }

Why do you use Primary_Group[0]? It will switch only the first letter.

[ramandu]

hi, it seems the topic was locked for no apparent reason.

you asked me a question.

Why do you use Primary_Group
 its simply just name i gave it to represent the value of the function.

It will switch only the first letter.
ok thankyou for this information, how do i make it switch the complete word ?

Might've been some bug, sorry.

Don't use [ 0 ] in switch. Just switch(Primary_Group).
