Yeah there is sometimes a problem using the "u" specifier it's rare but can happen it was actually happening on the DayZ server. The beauty of sscanf() is you can define your own specifiers so I wrote an custom "u" specifier to address this issue.

Yes you will need YSI or you can use an alternative hooking method

You will need to update the sscanf()'s in your script where you use the "u" specifier with this.

sscanf(params, "k<u>", pid);

#include <YSI\y_hooks>

static PlayerNames[MAX_PLAYERS][MAX_PLAYER_NAME];

// Store players name
hook OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    if(IsPlayerNPC(playerid)) return 1;
    GetPlayerName(playerid, PlayerNames[playerid], MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    return 1;
}

// Search for players name
SSCANF:u(name[])
{
    // No name specified
    if(isnull(name)) return INVALID_PLAYER_ID;

    new id;

    // Was a part of name provided?
    if(sscanf(name, "i", id))
    {
        new matches;
        
        // Find a player return the id
        foreach(new i : Player)
        {
            // Search for part of the players name
            if(strfind(PlayerNames[i], name, true) != -1)
            {
                matches++;
                id = i;
                if(matches > 1) return INVALID_PLAYER_ID;
            }
        }
        // Found a match
        if(matches) return id;

        // No player found return invalid player id
        return INVALID_PLAYER_ID;
    }

    // Player supplied a id

    // Make sure the id is greater than 0
    if(id < 0) return INVALID_PLAYER_ID;

    // Make sure the id is connected
    if(!IsPlayerConnected(id)) return INVALID_PLAYER_ID;

    // Return the id
    return id;
