[Pawn] YSI Daily Tips

2021-05-06: Plugins



YSI is written to support many plugins in different ways, all without any direct dependencies.? If you call the native from a plugin in a function that is itself never called, you won't get errors for the natives not existing, so YSI can use plugin functions even when they aren't included or loaded.



MySQL



Inline query functions built in directly:

inline const Result()

{

____// Closure variables work here, negating the need for extra parameters.

}

// This also calls `mysql_format`, so optional parameters are merged with `query`.

MySQL_PQueryInline(gSQL, using inline Result, query);

There are also equivalent functions for `TQuery` and ORM functions.



BCrypt



Inline comparisons functions:

inline const Same(bool:match)

{

____// Closure variables work here, negating the need for extra parameters.

}

BCrypt_CheckInline(text, hash, using inline Same);

inline const Hashed(string:hass[])

{

____// Closure variables work here, negating the need for extra parameters.

}

// `_` means `default` for the `cost` parameter.

BCrypt_HashInline(text, _, using inline Hashed);

Requests



RequestCallback and RequestJSONCallback as inline versions again.



Streamer



Inline callback versions of almost all the streamer functions it makes sense for - OnPlayerEnterDynamicArea, OnPlayerEnterDynamicRaceCP, OnPlayerEnterDynamicCP, OnPlayerPickUpDynamicPickup, and OnDynamicObjectMoved are all wrapped, to enable calls such as:

cb_MoveDynamicObject(using inline OnMoved, objectid, 10.0, 10.0, 10.0, 10.0);

However, this feature isn't quite complete yet as it relies on streamer plugin v2.9.5 and its "extra" extra IDs (to store callback IDs), which has only just been released.
