2021-05-12: Adding y_groups Support



Obviously various YSI libraries have y_groups support, via functions such as:

Group_SetCommand(Group:g, coommand, allowed);

bool:Group_AreaAllowed(Group:g, area);

Group_SetClassDefault(Group:g, allowed);

But none of these functions actually exist anywhere in code - they?re all generated from a common template at compile-time.? And your own libraries can use the same pattern.? Assuming you are writing an Object library:

// Just the name, used to generate all the group function names.

#define GROUP_LIBRARY_NAME<%0...%1> %0Object%1



// The maximum number of entities your library can hold.

#define GROUP_LIBRARY_SIZE 512



// The tag for your entity IDs.? Can be ommitted for `_:`.

#define GROUP_LIBRARY_TAG Obj



// And include y_groups after all the defines above (it will undefine them).

#include <YSI_Players\y_groups>

Then you just need a way for y_groups to enable and disable individual players.? This is done through a single function, all y_groups does is manage when to add and remove players by calling this one function:

Object_SetPlayer(Obj:entity, playerid, bool:set)

{

____// Do whatever you want here to enable this entity for this player.

}

AFter that very little code you have:

• Group_SetObject(Group:g, Obj:e, set);
  
  
• Group_SetObjectDefault(Group:g, Obj:e, set);
  
  
• Group_SetGlobalObject(Group:g, Obj:e, set);
  
  

And far more.? All the y_groups functions, with ... replaced by your library name.
