Inform Users On Name Change (Like TF2)

[Valgoid]

Ok, I was wondereing if like the server would display a message if a user playing on the server changes the name,

for example, lets say a guy named "Razor" is playing on my server and he changes his name to "Mr.Goodguy"
the server would display this message in the chat: "Player Razor has changed his name to Mr.Goodguy"

You can achieve this using the ULibPlayerNameChanged. You could do something like this:

Code: Lua

1. function NotifyNames( ply, old, new )
2.  
3.         for _, v in ipairs( player.GetAll() ) do
4.                
5.                 v:ChatPrint( old .. " changed name to: " .. new )
6.                
7.         end
8.  
9. end
10. hook.Add( "ULibPlayerNameChanged", "NotifyNames", NotifyNames )

This does, of course, require ULib.

Would that go in garrysmod/lua/autorun ?
Tried it in that location, didn't work

So where would that go?

Never mind. I was being dumb.
I got it now

[Valgoid]

Where does it go xD

[Decicus]

Where does it go xD

Like most scripts would go: autorun, or as an addon.

It works but it does it twice like:

Valgoid changed name to: Valgoid+
Valgoid changed name to: Valgoid+

Valgoid+ changed name to: Valgoid
Valgoid+ changed name to: Valgoid

[Decicus]

It works but it does it twice like:

Valgoid changed name to: Valgoid+
Valgoid changed name to: Valgoid+

Valgoid+ changed name to: Valgoid
Valgoid+ changed name to: Valgoid

Hmmm... there's nothing in my code that should make it print twice. Temporarily remove the script and change your name to see if it prints?

[Valgoid]

I did, its still priniting twice, do you think its beacuse im running it in single player?

[Zmaster]

Sometimes it would print it more than twice on my server
Usually two, but sometimes three or four

[Valgoid]

Yea the script is wrong.

Wait, you removed it and it was still printing? It wouldn't be my script if that's the case.

I'm going to test this on my own server when I get home.

I tested it a few times, in both sandbox and TTT. It only printed once per namechange. I put screenshots below, where I changed my name twice per screenshot. So it could be a different script causing it, or something like that.

I had that lying around, there is a function at the bottom that will fix the hook calling repeatedly.

You can also use a timer.Create to stop the hook from spamming. http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/timer/Create

[Valgoid]

Still spams, and also when people join it says unconnected changed their name to : "then their name"
