samp-pp-specifiers

Make your specifiers with PawnPlus plugin.

Installation

Simply install to your project:

sampctl package install Mergevos/samp-pp-specifiers

Include in your code and begin using the library:

#include <pp-specifiers>

Usage

Register your own specifiers with this function:

stock PP_RegisterSpecifier(specifier, const handler[], bool:is_string=false)

//Example

PP_RegisterSpecifier('g', "SomeCallbackToHandle", false);

print_s(str_format("He is %g connected.", playerid));

forward String: SomeCallbackToHandle(playerid, type, String: format);
public String: SomeCallbackToHandle(playerid, type, String: format)
{
  if(!IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
  {
    return str_new("Not connected");
  }
  return str_new("Connected");
}

Firstly, we register specifier character with handler function, and our specifier doesn't accept normal strings, so you can't specify NORMAL (not PawnPlus) string instead of playerid. print_s part is pretty straightforward.

public String: SomeCallbackToHandle(playerid, type, String: format) is handler. It is basically a function which handles the specifier. type is character of the specifier, in this case it is g. String: format is pawnplus string of everything you input in front of specifier, eg. %03g, will make format 03.
