name , client id in menu

how add client id and name on red territory?

[Cz3koladowyPotwor]

it is too hard for your level

[kung foo man]

You can prepare 64 scriptMenuResponse-Buttons and 64 Textfields, which display 64 DVar's.

Thats the basic idea, I guess you can already do it know, since you made that menu already.

how to do to read a player id and name?

dvar

self setClientCvar("id0", ID : ** , NAME : ** );

getEntityNumber();
player.name

The only way to show any variable on a menu is through text. And the usual way to do that is with the use of a dvar. And as Kung says, you would need as many dvars as there are players. So, if you have 64 players on your server, you need 64 dvars for the name, and 64 dvars for the client entity number. And of course, you will need 128 itemDef{} to show them all (64 for the names, and 64 for the client entity number).

Now, once you've got all that set up, to show the player's name and his entity number, you have to save the values to a dvar. Then set the dvar in the menu itemDef{}:

Example:

Set the Dvars:

		    players = getEntArray( "player", "classname" );
    for( i=0; i < players.size; i++ )
    {
        player = players[i];
        
        if( player getEntityNumber() == i )
        {
            player setClientCvar( "ui_player_name_" + i, player.name );
            player setClientCvar( "ui_player_entNum_" + i, i );
        }
    } 
	

Set the itemDef{}:

		itemDef 
{
    name            "player_name_1"
    visible        1
    rect            0 0 128 24
    origin            ORIGIN_POSITION1
    forecolor        1.000 0.647 0.290 1
    type            ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
    dvar            "ui_player_name_1"
    textfont        UI_FONT_NORMAL
    textscale        COUNT_SIZE
    textstyle        ITEM_TEXTSTYLE_SHADOWED
    textaligny        20
    textalignx        20
    decoration
} 
	

[php]

		itemDef 
{
    name            "player_entNum_1"
    visible        1
    rect            0 0 128 24
    origin            ORIGIN_POSITION1
    forecolor        1.000 0.647 0.290 1
    type            ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
    dvar            "ui_player_entNum_1"
    textfont        UI_FONT_NORMAL
    textscale        COUNT_SIZE
    textstyle        ITEM_TEXTSTYLE_SHADOWED
    textaligny        20
    textalignx        20
    decoration
}

            player setClientCvar( "ui_player_entNum_" + i, i );
        }
    }

You wont be able to show the result of a dvar if you use the action{} element in an itemDef{}. Also, you aren't defining the font and fontstyle and size. It wont show unless you do that.

So, you will have to make 2 itemDef{} and use them as one. What I usually do is use the one with the action{} element to show the other, like this:

		    itemDef
    {
        name            p0
        type            ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
        dvar            "ui_player_name_1"
        rect            195 76 190 11
        type            ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
        dvar            "ui_allies_assault_total"
        textfont        UI_FONT_NORMAL
        textscale        COUNT_SIZE
        textstyle        ITEM_TEXTSTYLE_SHADOWED
        textaligny        10
        textalignx        10
        visible            0
        decoration
    }
    
    itemDef
    {
        name            p0
        type            ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
        rect
        visible            1
        decoration
        mouseEnter
        {
            show p0;
            play "mouse_over";
            setitemcolor p0 backcolor 1 0 0 0.3;
        }
        mouseExit
        {
            setitemcolor p0 backcolor 0 0 0 0;
            hide p0;
        }
        action
        {
            play "mouse_click";
            scriptmenuresponse "0";
        }
    }

no , but if i add

		player setClientCvar( "ui_player_name_" + i, "name :" player.name ); 
	

i dont have msg : name : **

Would have crashed the server for the lack of the + between "name :" and player.name

Even so, it is quite useless to write your OWN name to a cvar multiple times.
