Where is _listnode defined? Or is it something out of the project?

It's not in the DLL project, but is linked to when you try to compile. It's in datatypes.h (and cpp).
It's rather complicated if you don't have much experience with C++ so I'll try to explain here.

_listnode is a portion of a _linkedlist, which is basically like an array that can contain multiple datatypes. _linkedlists are used for the game flaglist, playerlist, and other struct lists. If you want to use one of these lists, use this:

Code: Show/Hide

_listnode <Datatype> *parse = list.head
while (parse)
{
Datatype *object = parse->item
//Perform functions on object
parse = parse->next
}

Replace 'Datatype' with your desired object type (Flag, Player, Brick) and replace 'list' with your desired bot list of the data (flaglist, playerlist, bricklist).

Example on using a playerlist from Catid's rank plugin:

Code: Show/Hide

listnode <Player> *parse = playerlist->head;
while (parse)
{
Player *p = parse->item;
init_rank(p);
parse = parse->next;
}

Hope this helps,

I know what linked lists are and how to use them, just wondering about this one

Also wanted to know where to find them, and thanks. I thought I looked in there for them (seemed the most logical place, checked there first)... I seem to only be able to find the definitions in the .h file, where is the code for it at?

Arg, I found them.

One more question, sorry. Where does AnonymousStruct come from?

AnynymousStruct is just Catid's way of saying you can put any struct in there.

For some reason (not quite sure why, something to do with the templating I believe) the function bodies have to be in the header.
And yes, you can replace AnonymousStruct with whatever type you want to make a list/node of. Look up templates in the MSDN if you need more info (and have it
