Why is it checking guid 3 times? Also this seems to work only if you host from your own pc, and instead of ("" + self.name + ""), you could just use (self.name). But nice anyway

[STAUFFi]

the script was for 3 people
i changed only guids to 0

Okay then :P

If you are going to use iprintlnbold() on a player, you need to specify the player as the entity:

self iprintlnbold( "TEXT" );

Otherwise the server will throw a script runtime error because the game wont know what entity to use iprintlnbold() on (it has to be either a level entity of some sort, or a client entity).

Also, remember: when testing, the getGuid() method wont work on a Local/Listen server (it will always return 0). To return a client's real guid, it has to be tested on a dedicated server.

Untrue, at least for cod2.

Not specifying the entity will make cod auto-assume the level entity, so it will become a global iprintlnbold.

IzNo is right, the print will be shown to all instead of a single client.
