[Pawn] How does one make a top5?

[Radical]

I don't have a good idea on how to make a top5 all time it, only thing I can think of is for(i=0;i<MAX_PLAYERS;i) but don't know how to continue the rest.

I can give you a code that gets top 5 online players, if you want it.
But to get the best players all the time you have to use MySQL:

If you're using MySQL you can very easily select a top 5 based on certain data. For example, let's say we have this users table:\

Code:

+---+----------+------+-------+------

| id | name? ? ? | kills | deaths | score |

+---+----------+------+-------+------

|? 1 | Kwarde? ? |? ? 16 |? ? 25 |? ? 4 |

|? 2 | Playa? ? |? ? 2 |? ? 19 |? ? 1 |

|? 3 | Z3fRaN? ? |? ? 28 |? ? ? 1 |? 100 |

|? 4 | Narf3z? ? |? ? 1 |? ? 28 |? ? 0 |

|? 5 | MathPi? ? |? ? 99 |? ? ? 0 |? ? 50 |

|? 6 | Slayer? ? |? ? 66 |? ? 13 |? ? 25 |

|? 7 | JimmyPage |? ? 0 |? ? ? 2 |? ? 0 |

+---+----------+------+-------+------

Using this query:

Code:

SELECT name, kills FROM users ORDER BY kills DESC LIMIT 5;

This would select columns "name" and "kills" from the table "users" and order by kills, descending (DESC -- ASC would order ascending, and thus beginning with the lowest values). LIMIT 5 says: Limit to 5 results. The query itself should be pretty clear.

This would give this output:

Code:

+-------+------

| name? | kills |

+-------+------

| MathPi |? ? 99 |

| Slayer |? ? 66 |

| Z3fRaN |? ? 28 |

| Kwarde |? ? 16 |

| Playa? |? ? 2 |
