Hi guys,

im using a poke script, but i want to get the name of the person who 'poked' it. I've tried get_player_name(poker) but it only gets the ID not the name. Any ideas of what i can do?

Thanks buffymaniack

can't you just get name from that id? -_-

do the poked thing and get the obj, then...

Get_Player_Name_by_ID(Get_ID(obj));

Get_Player_Name(poker) is the correct way to get their name, ive used it before and it works fine.

Learning C++ before using it would solve it Satisfied

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

I expect your putting the return value from the get_poker_name into an INT variable, so what you are getting is a numerical value relating to what the players name is. I can't remember what they call the text variable type in C++, but if it's the same as java it will be String

glad to have helped, thankfully PHP does not particually care what the variable types are, so I only get those problems when doing Java code, which I don't do half of much of as I do PHP code... Rocked Over

char PName[255];
PName = Get_Player_Name(poker);
printf("Poked - Player Name: %s\n", PName);

That should get you the name.

Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

Although, player names longer than 255 characters will cause that snippet of code to fail miserably (think std::string).

scripts.dll does not allow nick names longer than 35 chars.
Use printf("Poked - Player Name: %s\n", Get_Player_Name(poker));

I used the variable PName so he could understand how to store the name, although I could have just used printf and not stored the name. Just helps with his learning.
