Pawn Question about pawn compiler

robertocaribbean · 2021-03-07, 08:06 PM

Hi there,

I want to use spanish words in my gamemode, but the compiler throws error when try to compile.

Code:
CMD:vehículo(playerid, params[]) {

  SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "test");

  return 1;

}

This throws an error: "Invalid function or declaration" in the line where "vehículo" word is.

Also when I want to use SendClientMessage, there is no error at compiler level but the message look weird character, instead of the character I want.

Maybe the compiler doesn't support characters like " í "?

Code:
CMD:test(playerid, params[]) {

  SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "vehículo");

  return 1;

}

Those characters are not supported, same as the romanian characters: "ț, ș" etc.

Well, I found a partial solution..

You need to change encoding of the .pwn file. In vscode, the default encoding is "UTF-8", so I changed it to "ISO 8859-1" and fix the problem.

There is a issue, I can't use zcmd or y_commands because the compiler keeps throwing errors. But, I can use strcmp function in order to make commands without any problem.

So, if you want to try, there is a romanian encoding (ISO 8859-16) in vscode as well.

You can use y_commands, but you need to encode the command names using punycode (the same encoding that URLs use):

Code:
CMD:vehículo(playerid, params[])

Becomes:

Code:

CMD:[email protected](playerid, params[])

If you use a website like this one: https://www.punycoder.com/ The result will be "xn--vehculo-9ya", remove the "xn--" prefix and change the "-" to "@". I keep meaning to make a site to do it for y_commands, just never got around to it.

Thank you for your response!

I tried:

Code:

CMD:[email protected](playerid, params[])

But this has no effect, I need to wrote /[email protected] in game in order to work. If I wrote /vehículo, just throws "SERVER: Unknown command"

EDIT: If you want to use a fast command processor and still use accented characters, you can use pawn.cmd. You can register aliases for a command, in that way you can make it work.
