Thanks for the help. Btw I am still confused about the language.

Plugins are written in C. If you don't understand it, you either need to learn it or stick with the language plugins that already exist.

Out of curiosity, what functionality are you trying to add by writing a plugin?

There are many function I want to add. One of them is auto-record a video in server-side.

That is not possible by a plugin, basically, most of the things you can do already come with the squirrel plugin.

If auto record is not available then I want to script a plugin when sent a command to it, it closes an application running in the server's background(not client).

From what source? I mean, what gives(streams?) you the video data to the server. And what are the contents of that video.

Chances are to be possible. But not if you intend what people are already thinking.

Also, encoding video files may not be as easy as `print(GetINIOption("player_password"))`. So be wary of the task you're attempting.

Also, even if you could record video, what would you record a video of? Recording a video of every player at once would be prohibitive.

You need to step back. re-evaluate the problem you're trying to solve and come up with a different approach.

Monstrous lag

Actually I have spectate system in which we can spectate specific objects. I want to keep a record of them.

What about the other plugin. I want to close an application running in background.

You don't really need a plugin for it, just use the system() function.

Can you give me a little for info?

Isn't system() only running on the server? I mean you can't use system() at a client player, only in client side scripts?

I said server side.
