pawn Код:

stock retFirstLeters(name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME])
{
    new 
        strpos = strfind(name, "_", true),
        string[4];
    
    format(string, sizeof(string), "%c%c", name[0], name[strpos+1]);
    return string;
}

pawn Код:

printf("%s",retFirstLeters("Sean_Banks"));

The name HAS to be in roleplay format for it to work though.

I'll test it now, thank you very much!

EDIT: its work only for Sean Banks name, i want it for every player for Exmaple my name is not Joey Taylor its tell its my name is JT, and Sean Banks SB, and for every player like his name.

use the code

pawn Код:

retFirstLetters(playername[]);

You just copy the code that's why it doesn't work in other names.
