Nick changing NPC problem

[HoudiniMan]

I'm trying to make a nick setting NPC.
I'm a developer for Doomsday and I made an NPC the otherday for the Police, however i couldn't test it because I don't have a (Police) tag . I figured I'd set about making something like the "control nick" NPC on g2k1. I hoped I would be able to set my nick to anything and thus be able to have a (Police) tag for a while, but it doesn't work at all. We have no npcserver and I don't need it to change other people's names etc, only mine.

Here's my script:

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by HoudiniMan (Developer)

if (playertouchsme) {

toweapons Changenick;

}

if (playerchats&&startswith(changenick,#c)&&isweapon)  {

tokenize #c;

for (i=1;i<tokenscount;i++){

setstring this.newnick,#s(this.newnick) #t(i);

}

setplayerprop #n,#s(this.newnick);

}

Can't set #n without NPC server.

[IAMNOTAFREAK]

setplayerprop #c,nameyouwant;

that should do it...

why are tokenizing the chat? when all you have to do is ommit the first part of it?

#e(start,end,str)

so try...
setplayerprop #c,setnick #T(#e(10,-1,#c));

although it is a crude meathod of setting a nickname, its the only real way to do it w/o npcs server =\.
