Put were your defines go:

pawn Код:

#define REAL_MAX_PLAYER_NAME 15

Should work.

but then... will this kick the player if his name is larger than 15? also, can we make the 15 into 12.

I was thinking something a bit more like this:

pawn Код:

new pname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
GetPlayerName(playerid, pname, sizeof(pname));
if(sizeof(pname) > 12)
{
     SendClientMessage(playerid, red, "GTFO!");
     Kick(playerid)
}

Thats not gonna work.. but maybe we can make it work?...

I basically just need to compare the players names size to 12 or MAX_PLAYER_NAME that is redefines and if the players names size is bigger, send a message and kick the player. simple... or not...

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    new pName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, pName, sizeof(pName));
    if(strlen(pName) > 15) // Will kick the player if his name is longer than 15 characters.
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "Your name is too long, blahblah.");
        Kick(playerid);
        return 1;
    }
    return 1;
}

Do you mean something like that?

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, name, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    if(sizeof(name) >= 13) {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "GTFO!");
        Kick(playerid);
    }
    return 1;
}

this should work

It should not, as sizeof is part of the PAWN pre-processor. Use strlen() instead: if(strlen(name) >= 13)
