GetPVarString

From SA-MP Wiki

Description:

Gets a player variable as a string.

Note

Variables aren't reset until after OnPlayerDisconnect is called, so the values are still accessible in OnPlayerDisconnect.

Parameters:

(playerid, varname[], string_return[], len)

playerid

The ID of the player whose player variable to get.

varname

The name of the player variable, set by SetPVarString.

&string_return

The array in which to store the string value in, passed by reference.

len	The maximum length of the returned string.

Return Values:

The length of the string.

Note

If length of string is zero (value not set), string_return text will not be updated or set to anything and will remain with old data, neccesying that you clear the variable to blank value if GetPVarString returns 0 if that behavior is undesired

Example: Save the player's name in a pVar

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid,reason)
{
    new playerName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME+1];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, playerName, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    SetPVarString(playerid, "PlayerName", playerName);
    return 1;
}
 
public OnPlayerDeath(playerid, killerid, reason)
{
    new playerName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME+1];
    GetPVarString(playerid, "PlayerName", playerName, sizeof(playerName));
 
    printf("%s died.", playerName);
}
