Rename

[thOuMta]

Hey all,

I would like to know,
How i can rename player by script,
Maybe like in _punishments.gsc (from rcon).

Thanks in advance

[kung foo man]

Its just:

		player setClientCvar("name", "^1new name!"); 
	

Do you need a whole rename-script?

[thOuMta]

Go ahead Man

		

if(getcvar("rename") != "")
{
    string = getCvar("rename");
    array = strTok(string, ":");
            
    if (array.size == 2)
    {
        players = getentarray("player", "classname");
        for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
        {
            player = players[i];
            if (player getEntityNumber() == int(array[0]))
            {
                player setClientCvar("name", array[1]);
                player iprintlnbold("Now, your name is: "+array[1]);
                player iprintln("Your name has been changed by Admin!");
            }
        }
    }
    setCvar("rename", "");
} 
	

Using the Rcon:

/rcon rename 0: writename - for id "0".

Hello, I want to use this script but don't know which gsc to paste into.

thx for help

save this code in a file call it for eg rename.gsc then create a folder in your mod called scripts and put it in there

Monitor()
{
while(true)
{
if(getcvar("rename") != "")
{
string = getCvar("rename");
array = strTok(string, ":");

if (array.size == 2)
{
players = getentarray("player", "classname");
for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
{
player = players[i];
if (player getEntityNumber() == int(array[0]))
{
player setClientCvar("name", array[1]);
player iprintlnbold("Now, your name is: "+array[1]);
player iprintln("Your name has been changed by Admin!");
}
}
}
setCvar("rename", "");
}
}
}

next open the gamemode file or files you wanna use and paste this line at the botton of the Callback_StartGameType() function

thread scripts\rename::Monitor();

this should work for now but the are other and better ways i would recommend a event based solution

thx for help but it does not work


script runtime waring: potential infinite loop in script (file scripts/rename.gsc line3) wihle true

falls du ein besseres script für mich hast nehme ich es gerne an
merci Schenk

[vanfreddy]

hi sorry if there is a infinite loop error then u have to add a wait.this should fix it

Monitor()
{
while(true)
{
if(getcvar("rename") != "")
{
string = getCvar("rename");
array = strTok(string, ":");

if (array.size == 2)
{
players = getentarray("player", "classname");
for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
{
player = players[i];
if (player getEntityNumber() == int(array[0]))
{
player setClientCvar("name", array[1]);
player iprintlnbold("Now, your name is: "+array[1]);
player iprintln("Your name has been changed by Admin!");
}
}
}
setCvar("rename", "");
}
wait.05;
}
}

die version is schon ok wollte nur sagen das man es noch verbessern kann indem man es ohne loop macht ,das ist aber ok so keine bange mfg

What exactly do I have to enter in order to change the name of the player on the server
it always comes: Unknown command "rename"

this is how I enter it: rename 0: tom 0

[vanfreddy]

sry i get bit rusty not really checked the code they posted its missing the

setcvar("rename","");

just add this before the line

thread scripts\rename::Monitor();

so the game knows the cvar. now it should have all it needs to work hopefully xD
and the command should look like this

rcon rename 0:writename

where 0 is the playernumber 0 for player 1 1 for player 2 and so on its not tested just from what i see i imagine its zero based if its not working try 1 instead of zero ^^
