Lite-C offers bool datatype???

Each letter in a string is one byte. You can easily see this when taking a look at atypes.h. A sTRING is some information stuff for the engine and internal linking plus a plainand simple pointer for a char array. A char is 1Byte in size.

I could have sworn it did, but I'm not seeing it.
Maybe I'm confusing it with the Char datatype and confusing it's 1 byte for 1 bit.
Still, it'd be nice to have a bool, don't you think? For flags and such?

Depends on what the compiler itnernally does with it. May programming language which offer bool datatype in fact reserver at least one byte of memory for a bool.

So what I do is using a var to store my flags and then turn single bits on and of by or/and-ing. Just as Lite-C does it for native flags.
I'm fine with that.

So , 1 var = 4 bytes (I guess size doesnt matter) = 1 string with 4 letters/numbers? If thats the case , than it wont be that much practical
Btw , I'm with A6 , so I dont understand much about any C (lite,#,++) I dont want to get involved in that because I often forget when I learn something new so I might forget all about C-Script...(Thats 7 years of playing arroud).
And , I didnt understood that part :

Is this something like in the weapon templates , where you have firing modes for example 2,4,8,16...etc. and by setting + mode + mode you get a result to compare ? I'm not shure how exactly does it divide them , but I havent tought on that much. Maby I should , its another way to pack variables
So , fastlane , there is no software for 'local' traffic scanning ? (On one PC)

Yep that's the way this is done

by and-ing with 1 you get bit0, and-ing with 2 delviers bit 2, 4 for bit 3, 8 for bit 4 and so on.

About strings...

do a printf("%d", sizeof(STRING)) and then add 1 more byte for each single letter and when you're done add one byte more for the NULL termination of the string.

Then you'll know the exact size of your STRING.
I don't know if Acknex sends everything of a string or just the char array... you'll have to ask JCL about this.
