How do I put a players initials in a string? - Unfriendly - 16.07.2016

For my vehicle plate system I'd like to set it up so that a players tag is made using his/her first and last initials,followed by the vehicle ID when a player buys a vehicle.

Example: John_Smith buys vehicle id 420 (not model id, but vehicle id)

His vehicle plate: JS420

Код:

new str[24], pos;
GetPlayerName(playerid, str, 24);
pos = strfind(str, "_");
if (pos != -1)
{
    new vehicleid = GetPlayerVehcileID(playerid);
    format(str, sizeof (str), "%c%c%i", str[0], str[pos+1], vehicleid);
    SetVehicleNumberPlate(vehicleid, str);
}

PHP код:



format(plate, sizeof plate, "%c%c%03d", name[0], name[strfind(name, "_") + 1], vehicleid)

Something like that.

Edit: ^ we had the same idea. ^_^

Thanks so much for the replies. Here's what I have now.
I get this error when I compile : error 047: array sizes do not match, or destination array is too small

edit: I put stars near the part of the code you actually need to read.

	if(dialogid == DIALOG_VEHICLE_BUY)
	{

			if(GetPlayerVehicles(playerid) >= MAX_PLAYER_VEHICLES)

				return 1;
			}
			new id = GetPVarInt(playerid, "DialogValue1");
			if(GetPlayerMoney(playerid) < VehicleValue[id])
			{

				return 1;

			new freeid = GetFreeVehicleID();

Would you like to work together possibly? Everything else I have works fine. ^^

Use this function to copy strings. Don't do something like "string = str"

Код:

#define strcpy(%0,%1) strcat((%0[0] = '\0', %0), %1)

or

strcpy(dest[], const source[], dest_size = sizeof dest)
{
    dest[0] = '\0';
    strcat(dest, source, dest_size);
}

And then use

Код:

strcpy(VehicleNumberPlate[freeid], str, 7);

Also, what's the size of VehicleNumberPlate? It needs to be at least 7.

Not sure I understand how to implement that into my code.
The size of VehicleNumberPlate is 16

Edit: Nvm I figured it out. LOL.
It compiled. We'll see if it works.

Edit 2: It works flawlessly! Thanks so much.
