For some reason ini writestring is not writing the first character of a players name to their userfile. I'll show you all relevant code below.

Here's what it's writing:

Код:

pVehicleOwner = ason_Budley

Clearly it's suppose to have a "J" for Jason.

Relevant code:

pawn Код:

//part of the players enum
pVehicleOwner[32],


//saving user stock
INI_WriteString(file,"pVehicleOwner", pInfo[playerid][pVehicleOwner]);

//loading user
INI_String("pVehicleOwner",pInfo[playerid][pVehicleOwner], 32);

//the dialog where they purchase a car (saving it to their variable.)
pInfo[playerid][pVehicleOwner] = GetName(playerid);


//The getname stock.
stock GetName(playerid)
{
    new string[32];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, string,sizeof(string));
    return string;
}

Thanks for any assistance provided.

There should be a problem on your stock. Try to debug it.

pawn Код:

stock GetName(playerid)
{
    new string[32];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, string,sizeof(string));
    print(string);
    return string;
}

Stock works fine bud. Debug successful.

Well first of all, [32] should be changed to [MAX_PLAYER_NAME] or [24] for starters. Other than that, I can't see anything wrong with the code you've given. Is there any other places that you use or change [pVehicleOwner]?

pawn Код:

//the dialog where they purchase a car (saving it to their variable.)
pInfo[playerid][pVehicleOwner] = GetName(playerid);

try converting it to this--

pawn Код:

//the dialog where they purchase a car (saving it to their variable.)
format(pInfo[playerid][pVehicleOwner], 32,"%s", GetName(playerid));

Then how exactly would I debug it, without knowing the issue? I come here for assistance if I don't know where/why there's a bug just like any other person.

For the rest - I'll try your suggestions regarding max name and formatting it.

EDIT: formatting it writes this to their user file. (First letter should be "S").

EDIT2: Not sure if you need this, but I'm assigning the string variable to a player vehicle. Could this be causing the issue?

pawn Код:

pInfo[playerid][pVehicleOwner] = CreateVehicle(549, 371.3720,-93.7015,1.3727, 98.9953, 0, 0, -1);
