local variable "Name" shadows a variable at a preceding level - Meinstad - 02.04.2012

Hello I got a little problem with my script...

pawn Код:

local variable "Name" shadows a variable at a preceding level

and this is what I got on the error line:

pawn Код:

stock GetName(playerid)
{
    new Name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];

    if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
    {
        GetPlayerName(playerid, Name, sizeof(Name));
    }
    else
    {
        Name = "Disconnected/Nothing";
    }

    return Name;
}

Change Name to pName or anything else, like:

pawn Код:

stock GetName(playerid)
{
    new pName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];

    if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
    {
        GetPlayerName(playerid, pName, sizeof(pName));
    }
    else
    {
        pName = "Disconnected/Nothing";
    }

    return pName;
}

That should work.
