Not able to get a player's ID by his name. - Denying - 16.03.2013

First of all thank you for reading this.

Alright, so I got the following code:

pawn Код:

stock ConvertOwnerName(playerid)
{
    for(new i = 0; i <= MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
        {
            GetPlayerName(i, pname, sizeof(pname));
            GetHouseID(playerid);
            format(file, sizeof(file), "Houses/House_%d.ini", HouseID);
            format(OwnerName, sizeof(OwnerName), "%s", dini_Get(file, "Owner"));
            if(strcmp(pname, OwnerName) == 0) return OwnerID = i;
        }
    }
    return 1;
}

which is used to convert a house owner's name into his ID if he's online. If not the money will just go to his 'bank account' but that's in a different code.

Anyway, the problem is that I can not convert the name into the player's ID.. it just does nothing.

Is the loop working?
I'm not sure if this would solve anything, but change the loop to for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++), remove the '='.
That's all I see.
You might want to debug the code if you're not sure, just place 'print("So far 1");', 'print("So far 2");' troughout the function, and when you call it, look in your console to see whether it's called or not.

I will debug it, remove the ' = ' even though I also don't think it will effect anything, but it's worth to try.
I will edit this post with the result when I'm done.

I debugged it, it prints the ID of the player who bought the house, not the one who owns it, I will check the code out, I will reply here if I can not find any way to get it working.

I did, I checked the house's file, it is saved the way it should.
OH......... Now I understand my problem, I used this line AFTER I changed the owner's name in the file. Thank you!
