register_native

Core (amxmodx.inc)

Description

register_native - Declares a native that other plugins can use.

Syntax

register_native ( const name[], const handler[], [ style = 0 ] )

Type

Native

Notes

When a plugin uses your native (you should distribute a .inc), the handler will be called with two parameters: the calling plugin id, and the number of parameters.

If you set style=1, the method of parameter passing is a tad more efficient. Instead of "id, numParams", you label the native exactly as how the parameters should, in theory, be sent. Then for each byreference parameter, you call param_convert(num). This is theoretically more efficient but quite hacky. The method was discovered by dJeyL, props to him!

The advantage to keeping style set to 0 is that it more closely resembles the AMX Mod/X module API.
