Alright so Ive got a lil bit of a problem. I want to display only players Initials. Ie my name would be Squirrel_LastName, I want to add like

"S. LastName says: %s"

Code

PHP код:

new string[128];
format(string,sizeof(string),"%s says: %s",GetName(playerid),text); 


GetName basically just gets the full name. How do I make it somehow get only initials of FirstName but display full last name?

PHP код:

stock GetName(playerid);
{
    new szName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, szName, sizeof(szName));
    return szName;
}

stock GetName(playerid, bool:initialize = false); 
{ 
    new szName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME]; 
    GetPlayerName(playerid, szName, sizeof(szName)); 
    if(!initialize)
        return szName;
    else {
        format(szName, sizeof szName, "%c. %s", szName[0], szName[strfind(szName, "_") + 1]);
        return szName;
    }
}

To use the initialized name just use GetName like this: GetName(playerid, true);
To use the regular name, don't change anything, just use the function as normal: GetName(playerid);

Ex.

pawn Код:

new string[128]; 
//Will print: "C. Crayder says: text"
format(string,sizeof(string) ,"%s says: %s", GetName(playerid, true), text);
//Both will print: "Crayder Crayder says: text"
format(string,sizeof(string) ,"%s says: %s", GetName(playerid), text);
format(string,sizeof(string) ,"%s says: %s", GetName(playerid, false), text);

Note: This is untested by the way, but it should work...
