Shortening nick player

[Moczulak]

Hello all.
I write the script:

		if (player.name.size > 10)
{
    player.name = getsubstr(player.name, player.name.size, player.name.size-1);
    player setClientCvar("ui_cvar", player.name);
} 
	

He wants to limit the length of the name players...
But i have this error: "player field name is read-only:"

getsubstr(string, start, end)

Your start is not 0, but is player.name.size. fix it.

Also: dont write to player.name, write to player cvar "name"

So what if I do this calculation? I do not know exactly how it works getsubstr function () I only know its possible...

[kung foo man]

That should be enough:

		
if (player.name.size > 10)
{
    newName = getsubstr(player.name, 0, 10);
    player setClientCvar("ui_cvar", newName); // whatever this is for
    player setClientCvar("name", newName); // set new name to player
}

Hello all.
I write the script:

		if (player.name.size > 10)
{
    player.name = getsubstr(player.name, player.name.size, player.name.size-1);
    player setClientCvar("ui_cvar", player.name);
} 
	

He wants to limit the length of the name players...
But i have this error: "player field name is read-only:"

The error "player field name is read-only" is telling you you cannot reassign the player.name field, which is what you were doing when you wrote this:

		player.name = getsubstr(player.name, 0, player.name.size-1); 
	

You will get similar errors every time you try to reassign an existing engine field. All existing engine fields are protected and you cannot change them or reassign them.

You can do this:

		player.myname = getsubstr(player.name, 0, player.name.size-1);
player setClientCvar("name", player.myname); 
	

But not the first.

BTW - this:

		player.name = getsubstr(player.name, 0, player.name.size-1); 
	

Would give you the name of the player, minus 1 letter. So, for example, if it were my name, this:

		player.name = getsubstr(player.name, 0, player.name.size-1); 
	

Would produce this:

		Tall 
	

Is that what you wanted?

self setClientCvar("ui_dvarmenu", player.myname); 
	

[kung foo man]

I dont understand your goal

[EvoloZz]

player setClientCvar() instead of self setClientCvar()

[Moczulak]

I open the menu.
I see the name of a player.
I would like to shorten the player name to 10 characters.

I think I explained clearly enough what effect I would get... :P
