SetPlayerName only works once per user? - NovaParadox - 07.05.2009

Alright, Some I'm trying to make it so that when a person connects, it makes turns their name to GUEST[playerid], which works. Until they login on which I want it to change it back to normal.

OnPlayerConnect
Код:
// Setting the player's name into pInfo
GetPlayerName(playerid, pInfo[playerid][name],MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
	
// Setting a placeholder name until they register or login
new temporaryname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
format(temporaryname, MAX_PLAYER_NAME, "Guest[%d]", playerid);
SetPlayerName(playerid, temporaryname);
This works, but when it runs this code, it doesn't change the player's name back to normal

Код:
new namestring[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
format(namestring, MAX_PLAYER_NAME, "%s", pInfo[playerid][name]);
SetPlayerName(playerid, namestring);

Whats wrong here or can the name only be changed once?

I don't think you can make an enumeration like that.

pawn Код:
enum PlayerInfo
{
   name[24];
}

new pInfo[MAX_PLAYERS][PlayerInfo];
I assume you have something like that. I think that is invalid. You could store the player's name in a file in response to their id. I can help with that if that's what you want.

No, actually it stores the name perfectly,

Код:
if(samp_mysql_num_rows() == 0)
{
format(str, 128, "{SERVER} The name '%s' is not registered, if you want to register it use /REGISTER <PASSWORD>", pInfo[playerid][name]);
} else {
format(str, 128, "{SERVER} The name '%s' is registered, if you want to login use /LOGIN <PASSWORD>", pInfo[playerid][name]);
samp_mysql_fetch_row(mysqlid);
pInfo[playerid][mysql]         	= strval(mysqlid);
}
Shows the name flawlessly


And my pInfo is set up like this

// Enumerating variables
enum PLAYER_DATA_ARRAY{
mysql,
name,
loggedin
}
new pInfo[MAX_PLAYERS][PLAYER_DATA_ARRAY];



ADDON:
Ran a blank gamemode with this change

Код:
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
	SetPlayerName(playerid, "Test1");
	SetPlayerName(playerid, "Test2");
	return 1;
}
The name was Test2, so something must be wrong with the script. Either that or a name can only be changed when it's OnPlayerConnect

Instead of
pawn Код:
new namestring[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
format(namestring, MAX_PLAYER_NAME, "%s", pInfo[playerid][name]);
SetPlayerName(playerid, namestring);
Try
pawn Код:
SetPlayerName(playerid,pInfo[playerid][name]);

Try

SetPlayerName(playerid,pInfo[playerid][name]);
I tried that, it didn't work either, thats why I tried changing it around, maybe copying the name from the enumeration would work, but neither case worked.

Re: SetPlayerName only works once per user? - Backwardsman97 - 07.05.2009

pawn Код:
enum PLAYER_DATA_ARRAY
{
    name
}

new pInfo[MAX_PLAYERS][PLAYER_DATA_ARRAY];


public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid,cmdtext[])
{
    if(!strcmp(cmdtext,"/test",true))
    {
      GetPlayerName(playerid,pInfo[playerid][name],24);
      SetPlayerName(playerid,"Bob");
      SetPlayerName(playerid,pInfo[playerid][name]);
      return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
I went in game and did that and it worked fine. It changed my name to bob then back to backwards97.

So then whats wrong with the script? It should work perfectly by that logic.

Try printing the name variable a few times throughout the code and see if or when it changes.
