Constant arrays

Code: [Select]

const
playervarnames: array[1..2] of string = ('pass', 'stuff');
I checked on the internet, this is valid pascal. Yet, soldat server won't compile it.

From what I guess, soldat server takes the "script", compiles it and uses it as a dynamic library - so it must use a normal pascal compiler. If that's so, why the hell won't it work?

Valid pascal <> Soldat pascal

You can do this:

Code: [Select]

const
  v1 = 'yyy';
  v2 = 'zzz';

var xxx: array[1..2] of string;

procedure ActivateServer();
begin
  xxx[1]:= v1;
  xxx[2]:= v2;
end;
I know it sucks bottle but I don't know other way.

but you cant initialize normal vars, do you ?

Code: [Select]

var MyVar: integer = 1234;

const
  v1 = 'yyy';
  v2 = 'zzz';

var xxx: array[1..2] of string;

procedure ActivateServer();
begin
  xxx[1]:= v1;
  xxx[2]:= v2;
end;

I thought of a similar thing, but if I use something like that, I'll feel defeated
I'm an optimization maniac, I need a const array, it needs the least resources

but you cant initialize normal vars, do you ?

Code: [Select]

var MyVar: integer = 1234;

Nope.

Soldat pascal is very limited, not only when it comes to things that relate to Soldat or the dedicated server, but as well as operators such as "as" and features as you mentioned just now.

yeah, assigning "constant" values to var arrays in ActivateServer should be as close as you can get to what you need =/ You dont really want to mess with shitloads of separate constants...
