Remote the _ From a roleplay name and send the firstname to chat only! - lewismichaelbbc - 25.11.2012

Hi guys, is there any way to remove the underscore from a name and send the text from before it only?

Example,

Lewis_Ryan

from the above name, all I need sending to chat is

Lewis Without the _ and ryan

Is this possible? Thanks =]

pawn Код:

RPName(playerid)
{

    new
    sz_playerName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME],
    i_pos;

    GetPlayerName(playerid, sz_playerName, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    while ((i_pos = strfind(sz_playerName, "_", false, i_pos)) != -1) sz_playerName[i_pos] = ' ';
    return sz_playerName;
}

This will remove your underscore

This will remove your underscore

Nice rip from the NGRP script.

Okay, thanks. How can I get the first half, before the underscore only. E.g Lewis_Ryan and I need Lewis ?

Try this.

pawn Код:

stock returnFirstName(playerid)
{
    new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME+1];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, name, sizeof(name));

    new pos = strfind(name, '_');

    if(pos != -1) {
        strdel(name, pos, strlen(name));
        return name;
    }
    return 0;
}

The name HAS to be in Firstname_Lastname format that, or this won't work well.

Thank you so much! But there are 2 errors

Код:

Sorry about that.

pawn Код:

stock returnFirstName(playerid)
{
    new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME+1];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, name, sizeof(name));

    new pos = strfind(name, "_");

    if(pos != -1) {
        strdel(name, pos, strlen(name));
        return name;
    }

    else {
        name = "NULL";
    }
    return name;
}

Tested and works in-game.

wow, fantastic! thank you so much!

1 Last thing, I think the script may be able to detect if the player has got an underscore or not:

Код:

                                            GetPlayerName(playerid, sendername, sizeof(sendername));
	        	                    new namestring = strfind(sendername, "_", true);
					    if(namestring == -1)
					    {
					        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "Your name is not acceptable.");
					        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "Hint: Your name must be in the format Firstname_Lastname.");
					        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "Please pick a different name from the list given.");
				        	
					        return 1;
					    }

How can I integrate the above code, with the code that VincentDunn made for me?

Never mind, I managed to do it:

Код:

 stock returnFirstName(playerid)
{
    new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME+1];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, name, sizeof(name));
    //
    new namestring = strfind(name, "_", true);
    if(namestring == -1)
    {
   		return name;
    }
	//
	
    new pos = strfind(name, "_");

    if(pos != -1) {
        strdel(name, pos, strlen(name));
        return name;
    }

    else {
        name = "NULL";
    }
    return name;
}

Thanks for all your help =]
